Barely one week to the Nation’s General Elections, the All Progressives Congress (APC), the major opposition Party in Adamawa state is still caught up in another web of confusion following the suspension of its Gubernatorial Candidate, Senator Aishatu Ahmad Binani from the party over what the party described as brazen arrogance and impudence on the part of the candidate.
The suspension of the candidate which was carried out by the Yola south Local government arm of the party where the guber candidate hails from was said to have provoked the State Working Committee of the Party to condemn the action and describing it as unconstitutional, null, void and with no effect.
Making known the position of the State Working Committee in a swift reaction to the purported suspension, the State Secretary of the Party, Dr Raymond Chidama said that the action was callous, unguided, divisive, diversionary and unnecessary.
According to him, “this cannot emanate from members of our party. We urge all faithful party members to disregard same”.
The All Progressives Congress of Yola South Local Government had suspended Senator Aishatu Ahmad Binani for the period of six months over her failure to appear before its Disciplinary committee to defend herself against allegations level against her.
In a statement signed by the twenty-one executive members of the party from various wards of the local government, approving the suspension of the party’s candidate with effect from February 17, 2023, Binani was accused of causing disunity among party ranks by a member of the party, Auwal Hamman Adama Bawuro from Bako Ward of the local government.
The Chairman of the party, Yola North Local Government, Alhaji Ahmed Mohammed Mbamoi who confirmed the suspension to Journalists in Yola said that the suspension of the member will serve as a deterrent to others who have no iota of respect to constituted authorities and appealed to the state executive of the party to respect the resolution of the local government executive committee.
