No records of Lawan's participation in the APC senatorial primaries were made public by the APC.

The Independent National Electoral Commission has confirmed Bashir Sheriff Machina as the real candidate of Yobe Zone C Senatorial District for the All Progressives Congress (APC).

According to reports, INEC has disassociated itself from the emergence of Senate President, Ahmed Lawan.

Releasing a statement yesterday, INEC said, “The position of the Electoral Umpire was contained in a legally admissible Certified True Copy (CTC) of INEC report for the primary election dated yesterday,23rd June 2022.”

INEC confirms Bashir Sheriff Machina


The Yobe North senatorial ticket sparked controversy after Machina, who won the primary, made it clear he would not step down for Senate President.

Lawan had contested for the APC presidential ticket in May, but lost to Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Also, no records of Lawan's participation in the APC senatorial primaries were presented by the APC, although the APC chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, disclosed that the aspirant took part in the elections.

However, Lawan, who currently represents Yobe north district, was eventually listed as the APC senatorial candidate for the 2023 general election, leaving Machina who actually won the elections out of the picture.

The APC chairman had urged Machina to step down for Lawan, but he refused.

With INEC now recognising Machina as the candidate, we await the APC's response to the situation.

Double wahala for dead body.

APC is a bunch coven attendants without human feelings and very heartless.

It’s the reason they should never win power again. Ever!

This is what they did to the poor man in Akwa Ibom who contested House of Rep.

It’s the same thing they would have done to the senatorial candidate in Akpabio senatorial district if not that Mike Igni is a no-nonsense man.

Now they wanted to shortchange Machina but I trust INEC to do them shege.

Las las na who dey APC know as body be am.

Big tears from the camp of lawal

When I said it was over for Lawan some person doubted me. It is over.

As predicted

Lawan should retire from Senate in peace

Kalu don dribble this one,

Meanwhile, if for any reason Tinubu win, Kalu go wan lay claim to being senate president, while Lawal go de lick his wounds somewhere.

Tinubu respectfully come meet you tell you say he wan contest, you no for there tell am say you get interest o, you follow am go Aso Rock as solidarity say you support his bid, only to let Kalu de whisper ideas of coxesual candidate to you.

I love this

Eyaaaa, they don dribble this one calling himself Senate President. The beginning of the end of his political relevance. APC is am evil party

Lawan must have been really assured he is the Consensus candidate,for him not to contest in the APC primary election for the senate seat

I sensed that the apc governors want the position of senate president to be open to dangle it as a bait to attract support from the South.

As tinubu runs with Muslim VP it's make sense the senate president is a Christian person from South.

Nice

It was the apc leadership that dragged him and many others to the presidential race to make it better than that of pdp.

But those governors are powerful and decide many things and are also acting to make apc win in the election

Ngige saw the handwriting on the wall and step back.

The Cabals really played their card well, almost everybody except Tinubu felt they were the consensus candidate.

Everyone of them except Tinubu agreed to step down for whoever the party choose as the consensus candidate.

Kalu didn't dribble him. Their plan just didn't work out the way it should. I doubt even Kanu knew Lawal will be the consensus candidate.

Tinubu knew he was the consensus at the time.
Apc governors already convinced buhari that they should field Tinubu.

All those contested, the party will surely compensate them. They made the convention to be robust.

APC must go!

If APC wins majority in the senate and APC wins the presidency Kalu will be the senate president
