Removal of My Name as Candidate of Yobe North for Senate President is Undemocratic -Machina

The candidate of the All Progressive Congress in Yobe North senatorial district, Bashir Machina, has vowed to pursue justice until his ticket is restored to him.
He accused the APC of removing his name for that of the Senate President, Ahmed Lawan who had contested the presidential primaries and lost last week.
“I’m sure he did not plan to go back to the National Assembly. That is why he contested for the presidency and lost. This is democracy. The space is free,” Machina said.
“A certain period of time was given for people to want to contest. Timetables were set, guidelines were produced by the parties, and eventually, elections were held.”
Machina said it is undemocratic and illegal for the party to submit the name of the senate president when he did not take part in the primaries.
There have been controversies over the ticket which was won by Machina.
