BREAKING: APC Dumps Senate President Lawan, Writes INEC To Recognize Machina As Its Candidate

BREAKING: APC has dumped Senate President Lawan, and reportedly written INEC to recognize Machina as its candidate.

News ToGo reports that Lawan and Bashir Sheriff Machina have been having a clash over the ticket of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC for Yobe North ahead of the 2023 elections. All along, the APC National leadership had backed Lawan on the issue until the recent court judgment which favoured Machina.

Consequently, the APC has asked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recognize Machina as the party’s authentic candidate for the Yobe North Senatorial District in the 2023 general elections. APC in a letter dated October 12, 2022 and signed by its National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu and the Secretary, Sen. Iyiola Omisore directed INEC to also publish the name of Machina in its portal in line with the court order, Sahara Reporters reports.

The letter titled ‘Notification of Court Judgment In Favour of Bashir Sheriff’, reads, “We write to notify the Commission of the attached judgement dated 28th September, 2022 and Order dated 5th October, 2022 from the Federal High Court, Damaturu Judicial Division directing the Commission to accept and recognize Bashir Sheriff as the Party’s candidate for Yobe North Senatorial District, Yobe State and to publish same accordingly.

“Above is for your information and necessary action, please.”

It would be recalled that a Federal High Court in Damaturu, Yobe State had recently ruled that Lawan, is not the candidate APC for the senatorial district in next year’s election into the National Assembly. The court also ruled that Machina is the authentic candidate of the party having won the legally recognized primary supervised by INEC officials which Lawan did not participate in.

Lawan had initially contested for the APC presidential ticket which he and others lost to APC National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

BREAKING: Tinubu's Minister Who Collapsed During Screening Reveals Why

Tinubu’s Minister who collapsed during Senate screening has revealed why it happened.

News ToGo reports that Abbas Balarabe, the newly confirmed Minister from Kaduna State, has clarified the reason behind his collapse during his Senate screening. He explained that his fainting spell was due to sheer exhaustion as he had been informed of his nomination just the previous day and stayed awake all night preparing for the screening.

Overwhelmed by the workload and lack of rest, he slumped during the session. He expressed his gratitude to the Senate, especially the senators from his state, Kaduna, for their understanding and support. Balarabe assured everyone that he was now in good health, emphasizing that his collapse was solely due to exhaustion and nothing more.

Earlier during his screening, the nominee, who had replaced former Kaduna state governor Nasir El-Rufai, had suddenly collapsed, causing a temporary commotion in the Senate.

BREAKING: CSU Finally Releases Tinubu's Record, Gender Reads Female

CSU has finally released Tinubu’s records.

News ToGo learned that Chicago State University (CSU) has complied with a court order to release the academic records of President Bola Tinubu, as requested by Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the recent elections.

Following a directive from the US district court for the northern district of Illinois over the weekend, CSU provided the requested academic records.

TheCable reports that the university confirmed that the format of the certificate in question matched Tinubu’s replacement dated June 27, 1997. However, the gender raises doubt. This is because Tinubu filled ”Male” and the university in the new document addressed him as ”Mr”, but some transcripts reportedly show ”F” which suggests ”Female”. This raises doubt in the issue.

However, Atiku and his legal team are following up on the issue after alleging serious discrepancies in Tinubu’s academic records. They also claim that those inconsistencies will help them prove that he was not fit to contest for President of Nigeria.

Recall that Tinubu made serious effort to block the release of his records but the US courts ruled in Atiku’s favour. Atiku and his legal team will now go ahead to prove their case concerning the inconsistencies they discovered.
