Yobe North Senatorial District: Nobody Can Push Me Out Of APC – Machina

Yobe North senatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon Bashir Machina, has dismissed reports of his resignation as an APC member in Yobe State.

The senatorial candidate said he has not left the APC for another political party, stressing that nobody can force him out of the party.

Recall that moves have been made to make Machina relinquish the senatorial ticket to the Senate President Ahmed Lawan.

Reacting to reports of his resignation from APC Machina described the withdrawal letter as forged and a product of mischief and blackmail.

In a statement, he said “I want to state unequivocally that the purported letter was forged. I did not at any time withdraw nor resign from my party.

“I was shocked when I discovered that some persons concocted plans to mislead the public, particularly my supporters into believing that I have withdrawn,” he said.

He said the discrepancies between the two dates, especially between the date of writing the purported letter and the date it was received, exposed the authors inadequacies and lack of sufficient administrative knowledge.

“Although we suspect that this letter may be another fake news and the hand work of enemies of peace, yet the APC’s National secretariat must speak up on it since it is carrying the official stamp of the secretariat.”

He added “I have not resigned nor withdrawn my candidature, I am in APC and have no intention to move to any party. I will (insha Allah) pursue my senatorial ambition on the platform of the All Progressives Congress.

He therefore, “I have already instructed my lawyers to review the fake letter and take necessary legal actions against the culprit(s).

He clarified that he had no intention under whatever guise to dump the APC for another party and that those nursing such a mirage were suffering from dementia and schizophrenia.
