Adamawa APC Governorship Candidate Won’t Backstab Tinubu Over Disqualification 

Senator Aishatu Binani, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate for Adamawa State, has stated that she will appeal the recent judgment that nullified the primary election that produced her.

GWG.NG reports that her rival, former EFCC boss Malam Nuhu Ribadu, had filed a suit in court challenging her election as the party’s flagbearer.

Upon the suit, a Federal High Court 1 sitting in Yola presided over by Justice Abdulaziz Anka, had last Friday, declared the APC’s gubernatorial primaries invalid on the grounds that the party failed to comply with its guidelines and constitutional provisions during the conduct of the primaries.

To that end, the judge barred her from running as the party’s candidate and stated that the APC could not field another candidate for the election.

In an interview, Binani stated that she would appeal the high court ruling that barred her from running for governor in 2023.

She said Ribadu is like a brother to her and that he has the right to challenge her victory in court, but she quickly added that the judgment was a test of faith, and that God gives power to whom He wishes.

While urging her supporters not to disenfranchise themselves by destroying their PVCs, the lawmaker stated, “The judgment having disqualified the election has not given the option of conducting a fresh primary election of the party; therefore, my take is to seek a judgment that would reaffirm my governorship ticket before the Appeal Court.”

“I urge my teeming supporters to remain calm and wait for the outcome of the Appeal Court judgment.

“As APC presidential campaign coordinator for Adamawa State, my mission is to ensure victory for APC candidates in the 2023 general elections.

“We’re all members of APC. The fact that Malam Nuhu Ribadu, my elder brother, is a friend of the presidential candidate will not in any way discourage me from my task to ensure victory for APC in Adamawa State. It’s all about the party rather than the candidate.”
