The Bashir Machina Campaign
Organisation for Yobe North Senatorial District has alerted the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC) of an alleged move to forge the All
Progressives Congress (APC) candidate’s letter of withdrawal.
Recall that, Bashir Shariff
Machina has been in a tussle with the incumbent President of the Senate, Ahmed
Ibrahim Lawan over the Yobe North Senatorial ticket.
Husaini Mohammed Isah, spokesman
of the organisation in a statement titled: “Attempt To Forge Machina’s Withdrawal
Letter Appalling, Criminal” and issued on Tuesday, claimed that, “some
individuals have entered an unholy alliance with some compromised leaders to
forge the withdrawal letter of Yobe North APC senatorial candidate, Hon. Bashir
Sheriff Machina even after communicating formally to the Party leadership
affirming his stand not to step down for anybody”.
Isah, who described the alleged
move as sad and unfortunate said these mischievous elements are hell-bent and
determined to carry out their criminal offence, after all the cries and alarms
raised by the campaign organisation exposing the sinister plot to subvert the
will of the people of Yobe North.
“It has eventually come to light
in this untidy business of forged withdrawal letter, that some compromised leaders
have become slave to corruption and criminality in Nigeria”, he fumed.
The Spokesman insisted that
Bashir Shariff Machina is still in the race and that any withdrawal letter
carrying the signature of Machina is a forged document and does not emanate
from him.
“We want to reiterate that Bashir
Machina’s letter dated 13th June, which was sent to the National Chairman of
the APC, Abdullahi Adamu still stands and any attempt to forge his withdrawal
letter would be treated as a pure criminal offence irrespective of the calibre
of person(s) involved”, he said.
