A Federal High Court sitting in Damaturu, Yobe State Capital has ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to accept and publish the name of Bashir Sheriff Machina as the candidate of the All Progressives Congress for Yobe North senatorial district in 2023.

The declaration was made by the presiding judge, Justice Fadima Aminu on Wednesday.

In her verdict on Wednesday, the judge affirmed Machina as the duly and validly elected candidate for APC, thereby upholding the May 28 primary election of the party that produced him.

It can be recalled that Machina sued the All Progressives Congress (APC) for denying him to contest the Senatorial elections
