Senate President Ahmad Lawan who lost APC presidential primaries to Tinubu won’t be returning to the upper parliamentary chambers after his political ally refused to hand over APC ticket for Yobe North Senatorial District district.
Bashir Machina, who had won the ticket since last month’s senatorial primaries in Yobe, said he would not surrender it under any circumstances.
“I write to reaffirm that I remain committed to the mandate which I won at the primaries, and I have not in any form or manner communicated otherwise,” Mr Machina said in a June 13 letter to party chairman Abdullahi Adamu.
