At the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primaries in Adamawa State yesterday, delegates voted in favor of Senator Aisha Dahiru Ahmed Binani.

Binani secured the party’s gubernatorial ticket after receiving the most votes in an election disputed by major political heavyweights in the state, according to report.

Binani received 430 votes, according to the election committee chairman, Malam Gambo, who announced the results in Yola, the state capital. Nuhu Ribadu, the former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), came in second with 288 votes.

During the election, however, reports indicated that Binani’s agents were detected influencing delegates.

Binani, the senator for Adamawa Central, was previously a member of the House of Representatives for the Yola North/Yola South/Girei Federal Constituency, according to Anaedoonline.ng.

Meanwhile, Dikko Radda, the former Executive Director of the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency SMEDAN, has been confirmed as the All Progressives Congress (APC) flag-bearer for the governorship election in Katsina State in 2023.
