The statement noted that if anybody is dissatisfied and decides to challenge the verdict of the court, it has nothing to do with Lawan.

Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, has debunked a report that he changed his mind and would appeal the decision of the Federal High Court, Damaturu in Yobe State which voided his candidature for Yobe North senatorial election.
According to a statement on Saturday by the Special Adviser (Media) to the Senate President, Ola Awoniyi, Lawan said the report was false.
The statement said, “We have seen a report circulating online by the Sahara Reporters with regards to the APC candidature for the 2023 senatorial election in Yobe North.
“The report claims that the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, made a u-turn on his earlier decision not to appeal the judgement of the Federal High Court, Damaturu in Yobe State which voided his candidature for the election.

“The report is utter falsehood. It is just another fabrication by the discredited habitual purveyor of fake and malicious news – Sahara Reporters.
“For the umpteenth time, we want to emphasize that the Senate President has no intention to appeal against the court judgement.”
The statement noted that if anybody is dissatisfied and decides to challenge the verdict of the court, it has nothing to do with Lawan.
It also said Lawan has made his own position public and has since moved on, adding that he is a man of his words.
“We therefore urge reasonable members of the public to accord the fake Sahara Reporters’ report nothing other than the contempt it deserves,” the statement concluded.
