Yobe North Senatorial Seat: I won’t step down for Lawan, Machina insists
The candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Yobe North Senatorial District, Bashir Sheriff Machina, on Tuesday insisted that he won’t relinquish his ticket to Senate President Ahmed Lawan.
Machina who featured on Channels Television’s Politics Today maintained.
It will be recalled that Lawan joined the race for Presidency ahead of 2023 but lost the primaries to former Lagos Governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Machina who has now won the ticket for Yobe North Senatorial District, informed that he’s been asked by members of the party if he is still in the race.
The APC candidate, however, maintained that he is still in the race and has no plan to give up the ticket.
