A Federal High Court sitting in Damaturu has affirmed that Bashir Sheriff Machina as the authentic candidate for Yobe North Senatorial District under the All Progressives Congress (APC).
It ordered APC to submit Machina’s name to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), while affirming the 28th May 2022 primary election conducted by the party.
Justice Fadimatu Murtala, in a judgement delivered on Wednesday, also nullified the parallel primary election of 9th June 2022.
That parallel election produced President of the Senate, Ahmed Lawan, as the winner.
Counsel to the second dependant Kolawale Balogun told newsmen that his client would be appropriately advised on the next move.
