Nura Audu, a Deputy Campaign Coordinator and Yobe North Zonal Social Media for Bashir Machina campaign team has described the Supreme Court judgement which recognised the president of the Senate, Ahmed Lawan as the authentic senatorial candidate for the zone as devastating to anyone committed to justice and fairness.

Audu, a staunch supporter of Machina tagged the judgment as unprecedented and unfortunate in the political history of Nigeria.

Speaking exclusively with The PUNCH over the phone, he said, “The Supreme Court judgement was a daylight robbery, and very unfortunate in the political history of Nigeria.”

“Tension is high now,” he said, explaining further, he continued, “Ahmed Lawan neither obtained and filled the Senatorial aspiration form nor contested in the primaries.”

Asked about what the next line of action will be, he stated, “As Muslims, we believe in destiny; we will wait for what our leader would say before knowing what to do.”

Audu, who said he was in the court when the judgment was delivered, said in spite the court judgment, Machina’s supporters will not forsake him.
The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan hailed the judgment of the apex court, and described the verdict as a victory for democracy ahead of the February 25 polls.

Lawan, while speaking to journalists at the Senate Guest House in Maitama, praised the APC leadership for taking it upon itself to approach the Supreme Court following the Court of Appeal’s decision, recognising Bashir Machina, as the party’s senatorial candidate.

He partly said, “Let me begin by thanking God for his blessing and, of course, for what happened today at the Supreme Court on the judgment on Yobe North. This is a significant victory for the APC in Yobe and the APC in general across the country.”
Lawan, in his appreciation post, also thanked his political party for fighting tooth and nail for his victory.

Delivering the judgment, three out of a five-member panel agreed with the APC that the suit at the trial court ought not to have commenced via an originating summons since it contained allegations of fraud.

In the lead judgement, Justice Centus Nweze faulted Machina’s approach, commencing the suit by way of originating summons, without adducing any oral evidence to prove allegations of fraud raised.

Nweze noted, “That the first respondent accused the APC of fraudulently substituting his name with that of Lawan. Where there is an allegation of fraud it should not be commenced by an originating summons. There was a need to call witnesses to prove allegations of fraud.”


In its majority decision, the apex court also set aside the decision of the Appeal Court, Gombe Division, which affirmed the decision of the trial court that declared Machina the senatorial candidate for Yobe North.

But in a dissenting decision by Justices Emmanuel Agim and Adamu Jauro, the apex court said Lawan never participated in the APC primary, as he withdrew voluntarily to participate in the presidential primary held on June 8, 2022.

THE major political parties in Agulu, the home town of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Mr Peter Obi in Anaocha local government area of Anambra State, have collapsed their structures into LP ahead of the February 25 general elections.

At a town hall meeting attended by the entire 20 villages in the community, the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, the All Progressives Congress, APC, and All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, in the area defected to the Labour Party.

Those who defected to LP include the PDP local government chairman in Anaocha, Mr. Ifeanyi Orji, secretary of APC in Anaocha, Mr Ezeabi Raymond Nonso, PDP chairman in Peter Obi’s Agulu Ward 2, Mr. Charlie Chukwudebeku, former chairman of APGA Ward 4, Agulu, Chief Elias Abana and all their supporters.



In their separate speeches, those who defected said they would not want to be working against the interest of most Nigerians who are clamouring that Peter Obi should be the next president of Nigeria.

They said that with their defection, their former parties have become ineffective in all the communities in the local government.

The traditional ruler of Agulu, Igwe Innocent Obodoako, who also announced the official endorsement of the LP presidential candidate and other candidates of the party by Agulu community, urged his subjects not to listen to other people who might be coming to Agulu to campaign.

The Royal Father said: “We dedicate Peter Obi and all the LP candidates to God. They are all good candidates who will represent us well and they will all be giving Peter Obi the much needed support to pilot the affairs of the country well.

“It is God brought out Peter Obi, which is why he has so much support from across the country.
“We know our son and we are not surprised at the impact he is making in the presidential race and by the grace of God, he will be elected the next president of Nigeria.

“We therefore need everybody’s support to enable him reach the desired destination”.

Former President General of Agulu,

Chief Paulinus Aniagbaoso said the meeting marked the collapse of other political parties in Agulu, adding that the emphasis henceforth is door to door campaign for Peter Obi in all the 20 villages in the community.

He said that it is only those who do not mean well for Nigeria that are opposed to Peter Obi, who he described as the best presidential candidate for the forthcoming election.

Among LP candidates that attended the meeting was the senatorial candidate for Anambra Central, Senator Victor Umeh, along with LP House of Representatives and House of Assembly candidates.
