Track News had reported that the appellate court reserved its judgment after counsels to the parties made their closing arguments on the 11th of November.

Recall that the APC had approached the court asking it to set aside the judgement of the Federal High Court, Damaturu, which declared Machina as the rightful senatorial candidate of the Party for Yobe North.

The ruling APC had changed its earlier position not to appeal the judgement of the Federal High Court, Damaturu, which declared Machina as the rightful senatorial candidate of the party in Yobe North.
