The gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Adamawa state, Aishatu Dahiru, popularly known as Binani, delivered an acceptance speech shortly after she was illegally declared the governor-elect of the state by the resident electoral commissioner (REC).

This follows Saturday’s supplementary election held in the state.

Mrs Dahiru was hoping to upstage the incumbent governor, Ahmadu Fintiri of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who scored more votes during the substantive election on 18 March.

According to Nigeria’s electoral law, the REC, Hudu Ari, has no power to announce the winner of the election. That responsibility solely lies with the state collation officer appointed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

PREMIUM TIMES gathered that results from the remaining local government had not been received by the INEC when the REC announced Mrs Dahiru as the winner.

In a short acceptance speech watched by PREMIUM TIMES, Mrs Dahiru thanked the people of the state for electing her.

She said her election as the first female governor in the country would encourage other women to participate actively in politics.

“……You’ve made history in electing the first female governor in our dear country, Nigeria. This will no doubt broaden political participation by encouraging our daughters, sisters, aunties, mothers and indeed the girl child….,” she said in the 21 seconds clip seen by PREMIUM TIMES and broadcasted by the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA).

INEC disagrees

However, a statement released by INEC and signed by its spokesperson, Festus Okoye, said the declaration is null and void.

“The action of the REC is a usurpation of the power of the Returning Officer. It is null, void and of no effect. Consequently, the collation of the results of the supplementary election is hereby suspended.

“The REC, Returning Officer and all involved are hereby invited to the Commission’s Headquarters in Abuja immediately. Detailed statement to follow shortly,” Mr Okoye said.

Baba don plan everything down before he travel to Saudi Arabia so that people will believe that he is not part of this show of Shame.

Apc cant use Adamawa governor seat to do trade by bater for the contract of printing sensitive materia for election. Binani should stop ridicule Nigeria in the eyes of the world.

These are indices of a failed state.

who cares

Nigeria democracy is in the mould

APC nonsense

PDP taught APC how to rig and APC have mastered the rigging methodology better than PDP 🤣😂😀


As for the LPDP they have been reduced to only IPOB party will forever remain IPOB party just as APGA 😀😂🤣

Who is the winner then, there must be one.

;DShe wan spend the money wey mistakenly enter her account before bank freeze am

Shameless

See Wetin our electoral body dey do. Despite the billions they have spent, they can't even conduct proper elections.

Thief. That's how they behave.
If they ask her now, she'd say she is fasting in the month of Ramadan

But why is this lady desperate?

No wonder Mamood Yakub fraudulently Declared Tinubu winner in the middle of the Night.

Tinubu is an illegitimate President-Elect.


Maybe they will also swear him in behind closed doors in the middle of the Night.

See as her ticket cut.

This woman desperation is scary
This woman will be the worst governor this state will ever produce if mistakenly elected. She is too desperate. Not a good sign

Binani I was hoping you would win this election. But truth is you did not win. And am so shocked at the show of your desperation.

Googledotcom:
These are indices of a failed state.

What do you expect from that side.

Nigeria is gone APC and the display of military decree in agbada

I will keep to my words because I know them (APC) very well, they are full of lies and propaganda. Everything about them is NEGATIVE.

Feminisms in the mud

APC messed up our electoral process and in turn destroyed our nascent democracy

I am parking my property to leave this country what are you still waiting for

She deserves to rule

KingKO22:
