Binani Thanks Buhari For Electing Her In Acceptance Speech (Video)
By GWG Political Editor
Senator Aisha Dahiru popularly known as Binani has hailed President Muhammadu Buhari for making history in electing the first female governor in Nigeria.
She made the assertion in her acceptance speech in the midst of the controversies surrounding her declaration as governor-elect by the Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC of Adamawa State, Barrister Hudu Yunusa.
GWG.ng had reported that the national headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has since disavowed him and declared his declaration illegal. The commission has since suspended the collation of results in Adamawa State and summoned Yunusa and the returning officer to Abuja.
Yunusa had earlier in the day amidst chants of no, no, no, gone ahead to declare Binani as winner without giving details of the votes cast. He has also been criticized for taking over the job of the returning officer.
However, putting aside the controversies, Binani has gone ahead to make her acceptance speech, and in it paying glowing tributes to President Buhari for making it possible to elect the first female president of Nigeria.
Reading from a prepared speech, she said:
“Your Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, you have made history in electing the first female governor in our country, Nigeria. This will no doubt broaden political participation by encouraging our daughters, sisters, aunties, mothers and indeed the girl child,” Binani said in hailing President Buhari over her feat.
