Binani Dumps APC For ADC

Senator Aishatu Ahmed (Binani), who was the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Adamawa State for the 2023 election, has officially defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

Confirming the move on Sunday, Binani’s media aide, Maulud Usman, stated that the former senator arrived in Yola on Saturday evening, July 19.

She then quietly declared her switch to the ADC surrounded by close allies and associates.

“It wasn’t planned as an elaborate event, and there was no media invite, but the declaration has been made,” Usman said, adding that a more formal event to announce her new political affiliation is currently being planned.

Binani, who represented Adamawa Central in the Senate from 2019 to 2023, made history in 2022 by becoming the first woman to win a major party’s governorship ticket in Nigeria, defeating five male aspirants for the APC nomination.

She subsequently lost the 2023 gubernatorial election narrowly to the incumbent Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
