The Court of Appeal, Abuja Division, has affirmed Bashir Machina as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Yobe North Senatorial District in the 2023 general election.
The Appeal Court, on Monday, upheld the judgement of the Federal High Court sitting in Damaturu, the Yobe State capital, which held that the Senate President Ahmad Lawan, is not the APC candidate for Yobe North Senatorial District.

The court had said the Senate President did not participate in the May 28, 2022, primaries of the APC to select its senatorial candidate.
Delivering judgement on the appeal filed by Lawan, a three-member panel of the appellate court led by justice Monica Dongban-Mensem, held that the primary election conducted by the party on June 9 was invalid, saying it was in breach of the constitution.
