Adamawa APC guber candidate appeals judgement on primary election

…urges supporters, party members to remain steadfast

Senator Aisha Binani has appealed to her supporters to remain calm after the Federal High Court, Yola nullified her election as the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Adamawa State.

In a statement he released, she announced that she was appealing the judgement with a view of regaining her mandate.

According to Binani, herself and Nuhu Ribadu who dragged the case to court are loyal party members and would not allow their differences affect the chances of the APC in winning the presidential election in the state.

“Malam Nuhu Ribadu, my elder brother, has the right to challenge my victory at the poll, before the law as he duly did, which I considered as normal and not unexpected in politics.

“I considered the judgment as a test of faith, which I prayed to be among those who would scale through, with the mindset that power and authority do not belong to anyone but to Allah SWT, He gives it to whomever He wishes and takes it from whomever He wishes at His appointed time.

“I appealed to my supporters not to be self-disenfranchised by destroying their PVCs the functions of which were beyond the use for voting.

“The judgement having disqualified the election, has not given the option to the conduct of fresh primary elections of the party, therefore, my take is to seek for judgement that would reaffirm my governorship ticket before the appeal court, I urged my teeming supporters should 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 to 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,” she said.
