Mohammed Oluwatimileyin Taoheed reports,
A source, put under anonymity, at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) told TrackNews Nigeria that the commission did not publish any candidate for APC in Damaturu’s office today.
“What we have is Mohammed Bomoi for Yobe South and Ibrahim Geidam for Yobe East. There is no name for the Yobe North for the APC,” the source confirmed.
In an exclusive interview with the Head of Voter Education and Publicity, Mrs Rifkatu Duku confirmed that the ruling party has no candidate for the seat.
” No credentials of APC candidates for Zone C have been submitted to the office from the headquarters. We have received credentials of candidates for the National Assembly and presidential election.
“But we did not get that of Zone C, ie Yobe north for APC. We got that of Yobe south and Yobe eat which is the Ibrahim Bomoi and former Governor Gaidam,” Mrs Duku commented.
The APC has submitted Lawan’s name as candidate for the party.
But Machina, who won the primary supervised by INEC, has insisted he is the original candidate for the election, pledging no stop to his mandate.
