Senate President Ahmad Lawan of APC defeats Sheriff Abdullahi of PDP in the battle for Yobe North senatorial district in Saturday's election.
Aduoju said Action Democratic Party (ADP) scored three votes even though the party did not field a candidate in the election. ”Having satisfied the requirements of the law and scored the highest votes, Alhaji Ahmed Lawan of the APC is hereby declared the winner and returned elected,” she said. Ahmad Lawan of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has defeated Sheriff Abdullahi of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the battle for the ticket of Yobe North senatorial election in last Saturday’s national assembly election.
The battle over the ticket went all the way to Nigeria's Supreme Court, which resolved it in favour of Mr Lawan.
Good journalism costs a lot of money. He had initially tried to be president. There was controversy over Mr Lawan’s candidature for the election.
