There has been a a copy of a letter signed by Machina, in which he announced his resignation from the APC and his withdrawal from the race

But in a swift rebutal, Machina wrote, “It is brought to my notice that some unscrupulous elements have forged my withdrawal letter out of mischief and blackmail.
I want to state unequivocally that the purported letter was forged. I did not at anytime withdraw nor resign from my party.
I was shocked when I discovered that some persons concocted plans to mislead the public particularly my supporters into believing that I have withdrawn.
The discrepancies between the two dates especially between the date of writing the purported letter and the date it was receipt exposed the authors inadequacies and lack of sufficient administrative knowledge.
Although we suspect that this letter may be another fake news and the hand work of enemies of peace, yet the APC’s National secretariat must speak up on it since it is carrying the official stamp of the secretariat.
For the avoidance of doubt, I have not resigned nor withdrawn my candidature, I am in APC and have no intention to move to any party. I will (insha Allah) pursue my senatorial ambition on the platform of the All Progressives Congress.
I have already instructed my lawyers to review the fake letter and take necessary legal actions against the culprit(s)”, Machina stated.
