Senate President, Ahmed Lawan has lost bid to return to the Senate for the third term following the INEC declaration of Bashir Machina as the legitimate candidate for the Yobe North Senatorial district for the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Congress gathered that the INEC, on Friday distanced itself from the primary election which allegedly produced Ahmad Lawan as the APC senatorial candidate for Yobe North.

The commission’s statement was contained in a Certified True Copy of the INEC report for the primary election which dated Thursday, 23rd June, 2022.
