Supreme Court Affirms Lawan As Authentic Candidate Of Yobe North(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The Supreme Court has affirmed Ahmed Lawan as the authentic Candidate of Yobe North Senatorial District. In the majority decision, the apex Court also set aside the decision of the Appeal Court, Gombe Division, which affirmed the decision of the trial court that declared Machina the Senatorial Candidate for Yobe North. Justice Centus Nweze who read the lead judgement, held that the decisions of the Federal High Court in Yobe and the Court of Appeal in Abuja were perverse and must be set aside. But, two other members of the Supreme Court panel, Adamu Jauro and Emmanuel Agim, disagreed with the majority judgement. Mr Agim further adds the purported primary election held on 9 June, 2022, was a ruse as it was not monitored by INEC.
