Yobe APC: Allege Resignation Letter, Forged – Bashir Machina Insists
The All Progressives Congress (APC), senatorial candidate for Yobe North, Bashir Machina, has declared he did not at any time withdrew nor resigned from the party.
Machina said that the purported letter of his withdrawal from the race was forged, stressing that some unscrupulous elements forged his withdrawal letter out of mischief and blackmail.
He noted that the discrepancies between the two dates especially between the date of writing the purported letter and the date it was receipted exposed the authors’ inadequacies and lack of sufficient administrative knowledge.
Machina said that he has instructed his lawyers to review the fake letter and take necessary legal actions against the culprit(s).
According to him; “Although we suspect that this letter may be another fake news and the hand work of enemies of peace, yet the APC’s National secretariat must speak up on it since it is carrying the official stamp of the secretariat.
“I was shocked when I discovered that some persons concocted plans to mislead the public particularly my supporters into believing that I have withdrawn.
“For the avoidance of doubt, I have not resigned nor withdrawn my candidature, I am in APC and have no intention to move to any party.
“I will (insha Allah) pursue my senatorial ambition on the platform of the All Progressives Congress,” he said.
