While the Adamawa State APC leadership went in consultation pilgrimage to the party elites in Abuja to chart a way forward after the federal high court sitting in Yola has voided the party’s governorship primaries in the state, which disqualified the governorship ticket of the Distinguished Senator Aishatu Dahiru Ahmed, a.k.a Binani, without providing option to field a candidate, the teeming electorates across the state, mostly women and youth took to the streets in a rather organised manner to challenge the judgement, agitating for justice to Binani and participatory democracy devoid of gender bias and any conflict of interest so inimical to good governance.
Displaying the placards and posters with the inscription, “No Binani, No Election” and “Sai Matan Nan” the chantings has echoed across the three beautiful sister-stones in Song local government, attracting overwhelming population, saying their sister would not be left to be Shortchanged, especially as she has the way of getting the state out of the maze without subjecting the citizenry to the servitude occasioned by undue debts.
Fufore has equally joined the “No Binani, No Voting” call, with the procession of protesting peaceful people, pointing to the popular political power of the public, which they would communicate, should serve as a key in consultation and reconciliation without bitterness in addition to the determination of the appeal court.
The entire Ganye Chiefdom with the headquarters in Ganye local government has equally joined the “No Binani, No Voting” call.
Women in their overwhelming numbers would have to seek for the understanding of their husbands to be able to be part of the street procession in solidarity with their sister, to challenge what they would consider as judicial disenfranchisement of women in Adamawa state.
Ganye Chiefdom has Toungo, Jada and Ganye Local government, with Mayo Belwa local government, though tilting to Adamawa Emirate.
