OPINION BY NNEDI OGAZIECHI: Open letter to Senator Aisha Dahiru Binani | TheCable
Many Nigerians were excited when you, Senator Aisha Dahiru Binani, won the governorship primary in Adamawa state, making you the first woman to have won the nomination of a major political party like the All Progressives Congress . Then the court cases challenging your nomination began post nomination and many people held their breath but eventually, you won the case in court.
Then the election of March 18th came and that of Adamawa was declared inconclusive. The excitement was palpable but the election umpire, INEC, declared the election inconclusive.
Senator Aishatu you had in another venue read what you termed ‘an acceptance speech’, thanking the people, President Muhammadu Buhari and your party. All that seems irrelevant for now.Meanwhile, in another venue, a top INEC commissioner and a former vice-chancellor of a university was beaten to a pulp by an angry mob that mistook him for the REC that made the illegal announcement. He was seen in a viral video, stripped to his undies and bleeding.
Senator Aishatu Dahiru Binani you have approached an Abuja high court with prayers I’m not definite about but you have to rein in your supporters in the interim. If you eventually win, you will be governor of the whole state not just of your supporters. Your supporters seem unwilling to accept that your being declared winner was in error and illegal. PDP, as a party, has equally given INEC hours to do the right thing. There is imminent danger of polarisation of your dear state.
