Senate President Ahmed Lawan has reiterated his earlier position not to appeal the decision of the Court to deny him the ticket of the All Progressives Congress (APC), for the Yobe North Senatorial District.
A statement from his office said that the Senate President has no plans to contest the decision of the lower court in a higher court.
The statement read, “We have seen a report circulating online by the SaharaReporters 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 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.”
