Yobe North APC Senate Seat: I’ve No Plan To Appeal Jugement – Lawan

President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan has stressed that he has no intention whatsoever to appeal against the court judgment with regard to the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidature for the 2023 senatorial election in Yobe North.

Lawan however said that if anybody is dissatisfied and decides to challenge the verdict of the court, it has nothing to do with him and his position.

He said that he has made his own position public and has since moved on, stressing that he is a man of his word.

The Senate President, who stated these in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Ola Awoniyi, said that the report by Sahara Reporters alleging that the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, made a U-turn on his earlier decision not to appeal the judgment of the Federal High Court, Damaturu in Yobe State which voided his candidature for the election was utter falsehood.

Lawan said the Sahara report was just another fabrication by the discredited habitual purveyor of fake and malicious news.

The statement stated; “We have seen a report circulating online by the Sahara Reporters with regards to the APC candidature for the 2023 senatorial election in Yobe North.

“The report claims that the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, made a U-turn on his earlier decision not to appeal the judgment of the Federal High Court, Damaturu in Yobe State which voided his candidature for the election.

“The report is utter falsehood. It is just another fabrication by the discredited habitual purveyor of fake and malicious news – Sahara Reporters.

“For the umpteenth time, we want to emphasize that the Senate President has no intention to appeal against the court judgment.

“We, therefore, urge reasonable members of the public to accord the fake Sahara Reporters‘ report nothing other than the contempt it deserves,” it said.
