The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has
published Bashir Machina’s name on its portal as Yobe North Senatorial District
candidate.
This is in compliance with a letter forwarded to the
electoral umpire by the APC National Headquarters, asking it to accept and
publish Machina’s name as the party’s authentic candidate for the senatorial
seat.
Husaini Mohammed Isa, the Spokesman of the Machina Campaign
Organization, confirmed this in a social media post on Friday.
“INEC Publishes Machina’s Name On Its Portal As Yobe North
APC Senatorial candidate.
“The Independent National Electoral Commission has complied
with the letter written to the Umpire by the APC asking the Electoral body to
recognize and publish Bashir Machina’s name as its rightful candidate for Yobe
North senatorial district”, he said.
Recall that, a Federal High Court sitting Damaturu had in a
landmark judgement ordered both INEC and APC to recognize Bashir Machina as the
rightful senatorial candidate of the party in Yobe North.
The development has laid to rest speculations on whether the
Party will comply with the court order given to it by the trial court.
Bashir Machina is hoping to replace the incumbent President
of the Senate, Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan at the 10th National Assembly if elected as
the next Senator for Yobe North.
