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.
the Spokesman of the Machina Campaign Organization, Husaini Mohammed Isa, confirmed this in a social media post on Friday.
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.
