Respect Court Verdict” — Binani Blasts Adamawa ADC Congresses, Demands Compliance

Published

A governorship aspirant of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Adamawa State, Senator Aishatu Ahmed Binani, has criticised the conduct of the party’s state, local government, and ward congresses, describing them as invalid due to an existing court order.

Binani made her position known on Monday, April 13, while addressing supporters from all 21 local government areas of the state at a meeting in Yola.

She questioned the legitimacy of the congresses, noting that they were held despite a High Court order in Yola directing that the exercise be put on hold.

The court order followed a suit filed by the party’s state chairman, Yohanna Shehu, who alleged that he and members of his executive were sidelined from the planning process.

Despite the ruling, an ADC committee reportedly proceeded with the congresses over the weekend.

At a gathering held at Lamido Cinema in Yola, supporters of Binani expressed displeasure over the development, describing it as a breach of due process.

In response, Binani aligned with their concerns but urged restraint as the legal process continues.

She advised her supporters to remain calm and law-abiding, stressing the importance of waiting for the court’s final decision.

The High Court had ordered all parties to maintain the status quo pending determination of the substantive suit, with the case adjourned to Wednesday, April 15, for further hearing.

Binani further emphasised that the party must comply with whatever decision the court eventually reaches, regardless of the outcome.
