In a 3-2 decision, the Supreme Court set aside the judgements of the lower Courts and affirmed Lawan as the APC Candidate for Yobe North Senatorial District.

The Supreme Court Judgement of today on the disputed All Progressives Congress (APC) Yobe North Senatorial ticket in the February 25th National Assembly is a victory for all APC in Yobe, generally for APC across the country and for democracy.

What happened was democracy at work. The lower courts gave their various judgements and then the Supreme Court gave the final judgement.

I want to commend the Supreme Court and infact the judiciary generally for delivering this kind of judgement to strengthen our democracy.

Let me take this opportunity to thank our party, the All Progressives Congress(APC) for taking this matter to the Supreme Court.

Actually, I didn't, as an individual, go to the Supreme Court to seek redress. But my party and the people of Yobe North and Yobe State generally and many political associates and well wishers and supporters across the country who showed interest did.

So today, this victory is for all of us involved. I am the symbol but the victory is for our party, the APC and for democracy.

I want to thank all my colleagues for the support, the love, the partnership. I recommit myself to ensuring that the leadership of the Senate will continue to lead very well, will always be appreciative of our colleagues who have given us the mandate to lead the ninth Senate.

Now, we will be looking at the 25th of February when the Presidential and National Assembly elections will take place. By the Grace of God, Nigeria will vote APC once again.

Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan (President of the Senate)

Machina loses As Supreme Court Affirms Lawan As Yobe APC Senatorial Candidate

So he went to supreme court after the initial ruling, he must have bribed the judge.

He should stop lying that he didn't go to court himself.

Asiwaju is the number one winner in all of this.

The biggest loser is the PDP that was ready to pounce on an opportunity to grab a senatorial seat through backdoor.

Lawan has learnt his lessons and everyone is happy including machina, he'll be hugely compensated.

He's also made a statement and party excos will from now take him serious.

Ahead ahead, no going back.

Rape of democracy. APC will lose the presidency

Here is a candidate who didn't even buy form, but supreme Court thought otherwise.

Things like this terrible judgement is the reason why I will vote for Atiku.

Can your candidate win and still hold on to his win? If you think that protests and insurrection will make INEC or the winning party to relinquish power to you, you'll just die for a lost cost.

Only the courts can help you guys and unfortunately, they are still the same people in the courts.

PDP and Atiku are a good match for whatever evil tactics APC wants to deploy

Corruption for Corruption
Rigging for Rigging
Structure for Structure
Money for Money
Litigation for litigation

Vote Atiku and PDP to push APC out

All Nigerians must take this as a challenge, to make sure APC doesn't steal the 2023 polls.

APC has done daylight robbery, countless times, that when they repeat it, Nigerians are no longer outraged.

See how a nation is normalizing political and judicial and economic banditry.

The future ordinary Nigerians, will have it very bad, this is terrible

Obaofaba:
Asiwaju is the number one winner in all of this

Yes he is, I remember how Lawan and his friends wanted Tinubu to win APC presidential ticket

I really felt for machina.

The guy has spent money and might even win but unfortunately, the party is supreme.

I just pray he's compensated by Asiwaju when he assume office in May.

Nigeria judicial system in picture

"Nigeria doesn't need a leader, it needs a rescuer" -Bishop David Oyedepo, Dec. 2022...
