Machina kicks over removal of his name from senatorial candidates' list
Meanwhile, the APC candidate for Yobe North Senatorial District, Bashir Sherrif Machina, has reacted to the removal of his name from the APC's list of senatorial candidates for the 2023 elections.
Machina described the enlisting of Senate President Ahmad Lawan's name as the candidate for the position as illegal.
Addressing a press conference on Friday, Machina who was regarded as a placeholder for Lawan insisted that he is still the candidate, not Lawan.
