The All Progressives Congress (APC) has dismissed claims that its governorship candidate in Adamawa State, Senator Aishatu Ahmed, also known as Binani, has been suspended.
Speaking via a statement on Thursday evening, the party disclosed that the party’s national vice chairman in charge of the North East, Mustapha Salihu had directed that those behind the ‘fake’ story be identified and made to answer for their act.
“Our findings revealed that the story is orchestrated by those who are not happy with the current efforts of our leader Mall Nuhu Ribadu (NSA) and Comrade Mustapha Salihu (National Vice Chairman North East) in resolving all issues and uniting the party in the state,” the state leadership said in its statement.
Speaking further, the party noted that a written confirmation has been received from Yola South Local Government Area that they haven’t suspended Binani.
It said that the state leadership of the party under Idris Shuaibu as chairman confirmed that Senator Binani remains not only an authentic member but also one of the critical stakeholders of the party in the state.
It stressed that the national vice chairman of the party for the North East had directed that a discrete investigation be launched to find out those behind the planting of the fake story for serious disciplinary action “for deliberately inciting confusion in the party.”
