The party submitted the list of candidates cleared for the 2023 general elections to INEC on Friday.
However, the name of Machina, who won the party’s ticket for the Yobe North Senatorial District, was replaced with that of the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, in the list submitted to the commission.
He won the senatorial ticket while Lawan was pursuing the party’s presidential ticket for next year’s election.
In a statement in Damaturu, Machina described the action taken by the party as unconstitutional and inhumane
