Yobe North: Lawan Says He Won't Appeal Judgment

Bashir Sherif Machina, Ahmed Lawan

Following the court judgement on the rightful candidate for the Yobe North Senatorial District, the President of the Senate, Ahmed Lawan has said that he won't appeal the verdict.

The court ruled that Bashir Machina be forwarded to the INEC as the elected candidate of the zone under the All Progressives Congres (APC).

Lawan made this known in a statement signed by him on Thursday.

The statement reads: "Yesterday, Wednesday, 28th September 2022, the Federal High Court in Damaturu delivered judgment on the rightful candidate for Yobe North Senatorial District for the 2023 National Assembly elections.

"The said judgement disqualifies my candidature and therefore my participation in the elections.

"After due consultations with my political associates, supporters and well-wishers, I have decided not to appeal against the judgement. I accept the judgement.

"At this juncture, I deem it appropriate to thank His Excellency, Senator Ibrahim Gaidam for the leadership role in the APC political family in Yobe State.

"I also thank His Excellency, Governor Mai Mala Buni for the support and brotherhood.

"To my constituents, I thank you all for your unflinching support, loyalty and unreserved commitment to the course of building our people and Yobe North Senatorial District and indeed Yobe State.

"I want to assure you that I will continue to serve you in my personal and any other capacity at all times.

"We journeyed together for a long time, and this journey will remain a lifelong journey. 

"It has been a wonderful relationship and it can only get stronger. I am indebted to you all. Alhamdulillah."
