Crisis looms in Adamawa APC over Aisha Buhari’s brother’s governorship ambition

Tongues are wagging in Adamawa State over the interest of Dr. Mahmoud Halilu, a brother to the wife of the president, Dr. Aisha Buhari to run for governorship under the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).


But the plans by Mahmoud, better known as Modi to unseat Governor Jibrilla Bindow, who is from Adamawa North Senatorial District is causing ripples within the state, especially as there are talks that he is relying on Abuja to clinch APC’s ticket.

It is still unclear if the First Lady is backing Mahmoud whose many electronic bill boards have flooded Yola.

Nation reports that if Mahmoud is supported to pick governorship ticket in the APC, the governor who is in control of the party’s structure, may have to use another party to seek re-election in 2019.

Frontline News Online reliably gathered that the glaring threat coming from the brother of the First Lady is the main reason a jittery Bindow is kicking against direct primaries in APC Adamawa and has instructed big wigs in the party to insist on the old way of delegates picking the party’s candidate.

There are fears of an impending implosion in the APC as Gov. Bindow, a former governorship candidate, Marcus Nada Gundiri, a former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes( EFCC), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, and Senator Ahmad Abubakar Mo’Allahyidi, who currently represents Adamawa South Senatorial District and Mahmoud are all interested in contesting for the governorship ticket.

All attempts to convince Mahmoud to drop his governorship ambition has failed according to Nation.

“APC in Adamawa has a big challenge at hand. There is tension ahead of our primaries. We do not want Governor Bindow to defect to PDP but Mahmoud Halilu, who is a younger brother to the First Lady is insisting on seeking the governorship ticket.

“He has all his posters in Yola. A graduate of Business Administration from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, he has no known political pedigree except that he belongs to the First Family and carries that about.

“He is not known in any political cycle in Adamawa. He had attempted to previously contest for a seat in the House of Representatives on the platform of the defunct CPC only to chicken out.

“Under the current dispensation, he toyed with the idea of intimidating the party and Bindow by pressurizing them to assure him of a ticket to contest for Senate but he failed to actualize it.

“We are suspecting that he is challenging the incumbent governor for refusing to do his bidding”, Nation quoted a source as saying.

“Although the governor has control of the party’s structure, he might be helpless if there is an order from above because the court has ruled that the party has the final say on any ticket.

“Our greatest fear is the likelihood of losing Bindow to PDP or any other party if he is denied APC re-election slot”, the source added.

Says zombie like u

APC sponsored Nation Newspaper was the first to publish the story, can't u use ur brain for once and close on the Nation Newspaper's link

Stop licking Buhari's ass

Why do I have to pretend to be stupidily foolish like you ipobic pig?

This what happens when a party is not organised and lacks integrity. There is supposed to be a level playing ground for all aspirant, impunity has always been the trade make of APC.

APC have to jump in offering 100b and free oil well before it too late.

“APC in Adamawa has a big challenge at hand. There is tension ahead of our primaries. We do not want Governor Bindow to defect to PDP but Mahmoud Halilu, who is a younger brother to the First Lady is insisting on seeking the governorship ticket."

So much power tussle.It's not for the common man but selfish desire to perpectually remains in the corridors of power.

It's a strong thing now.Trouble everywhere!

I no know why I dey laf but makai laf this laf abeg

LET GOD ARISE AND LET D ENEMY B SCATTERED THEIR SHALL B CONFUSION IN THER MIDST

I wonder what he is still doing in apc when his God father is already in pdp



Stay there ooo till you lost in both parties

We hear

2years back,in order to cage him as a result of the overbearing influence of Atiku,the APC had given Ribadu a carte Blanche back to his old party which was fully in the grip of Murtala Nyako( a former governor and one of the men who sat in the tribunal that sentenced Mamman Vatsa to his death in 1985).
With the transfer season open in the Nigerian political firmament,
amidst fears of joining his godfather Atiku,to the pdp...Babachir Lawal"the grasscutter man" and co. had joined the "anti-Jubrilla' gang...with reported backing from the 'Presidency'....
Gov.Bindow,on the 20th August this year had claimed he will die with apc,infact his words..“I believe in the APC and President Muhammadu Buhari administration so much that I will remain in the APC for the rest of my political career,”
One thing is sure,with half his cabinet gone to the pdp and still retain their portfolios,(including Atiku's daughter, Health Commissioner),unless an 'automatic" ticket is flashed at him,he will leave the apc...with the experience of trust in politics à la Timi Frank,Bolaji Abdullahi,etc...........He will break out joining Taraba to the pdp...
The bigger question is:
How well has he fared as Governor?
Hope he is not corrupt now as we do not want the state account blocked,the day he decamps,if he does?
Direct or Indirect,what does the common man say about his Govt.?

Food for thoughts........
*As he prepares for his 100m switch to the PDP.....

All this one no concern me..
Na Buhari I dey pity...
The way his party member go dey stone am in Daura in 2019 will be Epic.

Opportunity

As big as Niger state is, she doesn't make the news why?

The must not give him

Bindow cannot leave APC, he promised to die there..... Una don 4get?

APC's loss, Pdp's gain

He has the right to contest..... So, let him exercise his right

TAKE IT BACK

I don't like Buhari but he will definitely beat whoever ipobic pigs support. It doesn't matter the level of fake news, innuendo or lies. That Fulani man is going to beat whoever your idiotic pigs queu behind. That's one thing I'm sure going to happen. Continue spreading false alarm and conspiracies.
