Ex-APC gubernatorial candidate donates 1,000 bags of fertilisers, rice to appreciate supporters
Story by Jane AISO
Aishatu Dahiru Ahmed, popularly known as Aisha Binani, the 2023 governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Adamawa state, has met with hundreds of her supporters in Yola to express her gratitude for their unwavering support.
The gathering composed mostly of delegates who had voted for her during the APC governorship primary.
Hajiya Binani contested in the gubernatorial election as the APC flag bearer in Adamawa State where she lost to the incumbent governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
As part of her appreciation, Binani distributed 1,000 bags of fertiliser, with each of her 430 delegates receiving a 50kg bag.
It will be recalled that Binani secured the party’s ticket by earning 430 votes, defeating five male contenders, including her closest rival, Malam Nuhu Ribadu, now the National Security Adviser (NSA), who garnered 288 votes.
Addressing the delegates, Binani expressed profound thanks, referring to them as the “ladder” that helped her secure the APC nomination to contest in the 2023 elections.
Reports reveals that despite her ambition of becoming Nigeria’s first elected female governor, Binani’s 398,788 votes in the 2023 governorship election placed her second, behind Fintiri who won with 430,861 votes.
A former commissioner and supporter, Julius Kadara, commended Binani’s decision to return and thank her supporters, noting it as a rare and admirable gesture in the political arena.
