Senate President Lawan’s hope of retaining his seat ends after the action APC And INEC took.

News ToGo reports that the seat for Yobe North District has been a source of a serious clash between Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, and his rival, Bashir Sheriff Machina, who had won the valid primary of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

After Machina won in Court following the decision of the High Court of Damaturu, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has published his name on its portal as Yobe North Senatorial District candidate for the ruling APC. INEC did not act alone, this action of INEC was sequel to the directive given to it by the APC via a letter signed by the national leadership of the party.

The action 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.

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. It is now left to be seen the next line of action Lawan would take. Would he accept his fate or contest on the platform of another party to battle it out with his rival Machina?

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.
