Ex-Adamawa APC guber candidate, Binani defects to ADC.

The 2023 All Progressive Congress’ (APC) governorship candidate in Adamawa State, Aishatu Ahmed Binani, has defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC). 

Binani’s media aide, Maulud Usman, confirmed this Sunday afternoon, noting that she flew into Yola on Saturday evening and announced her defection to close family and friends.

Binani narrowly lost the 2023 election to Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), and her exit from APC was reportedly due to tensions with the party leadership, particularly perceived favoritism towards the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, who was one of five candidates who lost the APC primary to Binani in 2023.

The statement added that Binani plans to return to Yola for a more public identification with the ADC.
