....both APC and PDP in Adamawa are female candidates as far as I know-Nakura

By Tom Garba, Yola

The preaching against the candidature of Senator Aishatu Ahmed Dahiru Modibbo (Binani) by some Islamic scholars as the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, is uncalled for, says Hussaini Gambo Bello (Nakura), Chairman Adamawa Concerned Citizens.

According to him any Imam doing so is a "Cash and carry" Islamic scholarship who has been handsome to do that.

Nakura who is a community leader and a card-carrying member of APC in an interview granted to our Yola-based correspondent lampooned those sermonizing the sole ticket of Binani to have erred the Islamic tenets and injunctions.

He wondered why it's now that the sees Binani's ticket to have negated the doctrines of Islam when the government of Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri has failed in so many ways and none of them have come out to talk in the interest of the masses.

This Imams are not true scholars, if they are they should what exactly God is saying in the whole political space of Adamawa.

He said Fintiri removed a Man who was his deputy Governor and brought in a Woman, Professor Kaleptawa Farauta because he is desperate to win the election.

"And if God will it that Fintiri eventually dies who will take over? Certainly, it's a woman. In the case of Binani, if she eventually dies, it's a Man that will take over, Titsi Ganama, her deputy Governor. Which one is more acceptable? Islamically the Binani ticket is a decent one but they are not saying it because they are hired to propagate hate speech against her." he said

"There is no difference between the APC and PDP, there are two women in the race and anything can happen. They can die, they can fall sick, or even travel. At that point who do you think is the Governor?" Nakura asked

He lambasted the religious preachers for aiding Fintiri to trap on the rights of the citizens of Adamawa state by being mute when the Government of Ahmadu divert millions of naira and food in hundreds of trucks during the Covid-19 period.

He said coming now to detest Binani's candidature is a clear show of their selfishness disgracing themselves to justify the money they collected from Fintiri.

Binani has wonderfully worked. Her performances transversed all through Adamawa communities cutting across all religions.

Her empowerment programs from when she is a member house of representatives and she is now a senator is beyond what words can express.


"Any Islamic scholar that can not condemn the many injustices meted by the PDP governments under Fintiri's watch is nothing than cash and carry Imam.

"They are fake Imams if under their watch over ten thousand youth of Adamawa state were sacked and none of them say a word. Where are they when the Jimeta modern market shops were not given to those who merited it as businessmen after meeting all the conditions? Where are all these Imams when all the social empowerment projects introduced by the federal government were cornered by this government? But the mouth claims they know the Quaran and started preaching against the Binani/Titsi ticket.

"They are fake, they won't deceive us with their bought-over knowledge, cash and carry sermons because of their stomach infrastructure.

"I'm therefore calling on all the people of Adamawa state to massively vote for Binani. She has been tested and found trusted on her stewardship while a House of Representatives and now a sitting Senator." Nakura said

Gambo who is a known social commentator on many radio programs worried that the Imams are mute when Fintiri replaced his Deputy, Mr. Crowther Seth with a female, Farauta is a high level of weakness in their gotten Islamic knowledge.

He said Binani is on a rescue mission, and what she will do will be hundreds of times the performance of Governor Ahmadu.

No one should preach against anyone..

May Binani win her gubernatorial election, she has really tried and has made her mark in Adamawa politics.
