The Senator representing Adamawa Central, Aishatu Dahiru–Binani, has resigned her position as the Adamawa State Coordinator of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC).
Mrs. Binani said she is quitting the position pending the outcome of an appeal she filed against her disqualification as the governorship candidate of the APC in Adamawa State.
A Federal High Court sitting in Yola, on October 14, nullified the governorship primary in the State won by Mrs. Binani.
“Senator Aishatu Binani steps aside as Adamawa State Tinubu/Shettima Campaign Coordinator pending the outcome of Appeal Court case filed.
“The PCC is urged to appoint an interim coordinator in the meantime,” the statement read.
Her resignation comes two days after the State Executive Committee (SEC) of Adamawa APC, rejected the composition of the State campaign council by the senator.
Addressing journalists on Wednesday, the State APC chairman, Samaila Tadawus, accused Mrs. Binani of single-handedly appointing members of the State campaign council without consulting the party leadership and other critical stakeholders.
