The Court of Appeal in Abuja has affirmed Bashir Sheriff Machina as the authentic All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for Yobe North Senatorial District.

The court upheld the judgment of the Federal High Court sitting in Damaturu, Yobe State which held that the President of the senate Ahmad Lawan, is not the APC candidate for Yobe North Senatorial District in next year’s election into the National Assembly.

The court had submitted that Mr Lawan did not participate in the legally recognised primary election of the APC to select its candidate in the election held on 28th May 2022.

Delivering judgment on the appeal filed by the President of the Senate, a three-member panel of the appellate court led by justice Monica Dongban-Mensem, held that the primary election conducted by the party on 9th June is invalid as it was in breach of the constitution.

The law is settled as to the involvement of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in party primaries, which is to monitor, the primaries of 9th June were not monitored by the electoral commission.

The APC made a case at the appellant court for itself and it preferred candidate Ahmed Lawan but failed to make him a co-appellant.

Mr Lawan appeared in the case as the 2nd respondent indicating that he and the APC were working at cross purposes while trying to achieve a goal.

The appeal is unmeritorious as it fails in its entirety.

The appellant (APC) is to pay the sum of N1 million to the 1st respondent (Bashir Sheriff) as cost.

Senator Lawan was assured by a member of the cabal Babagana Kingibe, Tukur Buratai & co that he had secured the support of Pres. Buhari to get his successor. He fell for it because of his ambition, which he is entitled to. The problem was that Pres. Buhari in his typical non-committal attitude didn't say yes or no to Kingibe.

So, when APC Northern governors settled for a southern candidate, APC chairman Abdulahi Adamu followed the directive of the cabal to announce Lawan as Buhari's preferred candidate. The governors went to Buhari to confirm. This time, Buhari emphatically said that whoever wins at APC presidential primary should be the candidate. Thus Lawan became stranded and left out in the cold.

He ran back to his senatorial zone to secure APC senatorial ticket but Kashim Shettima instigated the winner of the ticket never to give it up.

Recall Tinubu saying to Lawan on the convention ground after winning that he Lawan would now "lick his wounds". That's exactly what Lawan is doing now.

Politics, bloody hell!

The overfed fat toad rubberstamp stooge needs to be shove out of our national life.Ahmed Lawan simply sat to supervised the destruction of the executive- legislative check system thereby allowing Buhari the freewill power to destroy every facets of this nation. He will forever go down in infamy.

Why is APC and Lawan disturbing this guy? Even INEC confirmed they monitored the primary election.

What's wrong with this APC aspirants

"Vote wisely". Two simple words that sends urchins into epileptic seizures. Maybe it's because they know they are not wise.

Adamu APC chairman is very foolish... Let them go to supreme Court and get disgraced after Lawan backed out you are still appealing for what if I may ask?

APC and tinubu doesn't have to campaign again rather than to be now seeking for a forgiveness from nigerian people's for the calamities president they foisted upon us

Just imagine tinubu want to rescue Nigeria from the same party and the calamities president he openly said he brings, is that not a stupidity, obidatti is certain right now
