Senate President Ahmad Lawan says he will not appeal the judgment delivered by the Federal High Court, Damaturu, in Yobe State, which ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recognise Bashir Machina as the authentic candidate for Yobe North senatorial district in the 2023 elections.

Lawan had said he had accepted the judgement of the court and had decided not to appeal.

However, an online report claimed that the Senate President made a U-turn on his earlier decision not to appeal the judgement

Lawan, on Saturday, in a statement signed by his media aide, Ola Awoniyi, described the report as utter falsehood and urged the public to disregard it.

“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 statement reads.

“The report claims that the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, made a u-turn on his earlier decision not to appeal the judgement 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 judgement.

“If anybody is dissatisfied and decides to challenge the verdict of the court, it has nothing to do with the Senate President.

“The Senate President has made his own position public and has since moved on. He is a man of his words.

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