That rubberstamp fat cow should be ashamed of himself... is it his birth right .. very stupid thing..

He wants ro collect it by force. Since 1999... abi he is so daft that he can't think outside d box..

Abi.. he is thinking how he will feed his plenty wives and children if he is not in d Senate... See how the useless things make Nigeria look like a huge laughing stock...!@

MALU..

mach7:
This will lead to disqualification o.

1. Lawan never participated in the primaries
2. Machina who participated as witnessed by INEC and other security agencies scored the highest number of votes.
3. Machina never signed and submitted a letter of withdrawal to the APC with INEC in copy.

Internal democracy in APC.....zero!

If I were machina, I will just contact one lawyer to file a case in court then I will go and sleep

StainlessCup:
you are right and the rerun is only for those that participated in the first primary and also,a candidate cannot participate in more than one primary say presidential and senatorial.

Exactly!!!

fergie001:
Machina's lawyer rn

Food don done!

vicdom:

Lol... I doubt if INEC would accept it. Didn't APC know that electoral act have been amended?? And in this 2022 electoral act, substitution of candidate shall only happen when there's a voluntary withdrawal by the original candidate, in a duly written and signed letter to both INEC and the party or a case of death.

Salahu,am speachless on dis matter

Opinion is free, we thereby say thank you for your opinion.
APC would never allow that Machina guy to be the authentic candidate as long as it is visible to the blind and audible to the deaf that he was only standing in for Lawal as a backup plan. The guy only proved himself to be someone who couldn't and shouldn't be trusted by anyone.
I saw many people hailing and encouraging him not to withdraw but that's because they hate Lawal and not because the Machina guy is doing the right thing.
APC would rather lose the seat than allow the betrayer to represent its logo.

Very evil,selfish and useless party

THE winner should take the party to court...He should even allow him to contest and win before moving to claim his mandate

[center]Must Lawan go senate[/center]

etokhana:
APC insists on Lawan, submits name to INEC

What are the legal implications if Machida insists on not withdrawing?

He will win in the court of law.
Remember Amaechi case and other similar cases?

My advice to Machida (if he's reading this now) is to file a case in court, but let him not push it to get fast judgement not until after election. Then Lawan, the incompetent Senator, would have used his influence to win the seat for him.

Machida should not step down. Lawan should go and take some rest. He's been in the National Assembly since '99. That complex wasn't built for him.

What nonsense?

Can you show us the document to prove that he was a 'backup plan'?

The same Lawan that amended the Electoral Law is breaching it. Lawan will win while the young guy will be sworn in as the senator.

No, the new Electoral Law says that all pre election matter must be trashed before election proper.

Stop this wailing. You only have mouth to challenge government online even though you’re not an INEC Official. As if that isn’t what the Party with the Federal might does in this Nigeria, trying to control and INEC. Get your PVC, don’t sell it and let’s fix this with someone entirely different

I see an Ameacho Celestine Omiha happening of Machina refuses to withdraw.

Machina should use the same formula that Amaechi used that brought him into power as Rivers Governor. Just calm down. The mandate is yours. Get ready your team of good advocates. This is impunity.

Unfortunately you are right.
I am thinking this has a bounce-on effect regarding Tinubu’s vice

Kukere

APC rigging APC.
Imagine what they will do to Peter Obi

Nothing like Democratic process in APC..

The party is a joke. After scamming Nigerians, now they are scamming themselves.

I see a Tsunami of legal battles afterwards.

Oh, I see..
Thanks for the info

NgeneUkwenu:


APC is not going to lose anything. machida can only reclaim his seat, if goes to court.

Will lose his seat against a person that did not contest?

Lawan that has defected to the PDP. It appears APC chairman is just doing things that will spoil it's candidates chances at the poll.

seunmsg:


It’s better to wait and hear from Machina before jumping to conclusion. He might have agreed to step down. Remember, everybody has a price.

when party says they insist u should know he's not in any agreement. Even if he has a price does his supporters have a price too??

or u think the ticket is only about him?

seanfer:


The court will remove APC from the ballot.

That will be double tragedy.
