The Executive Committee of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Yola South LGA of Adamawa State has suspended the party’s Governorship candidate for the March 11 election, Aishatu Dahiru Ahmed Binani for a period of six months.
In the letter written and signed by 21 members of the party’s Local Government Executive Committee, Binani who is a serving senator was accused of failure to appear before a panel constituted to look into a petition submitted against her over alleged gross misconduct.

In the petition, the only female Governorship candidate of a major party in the country is accused of involvement in disuniting the members of the party, upon clinching the Governorship ticket. She is alleged to have created and identified with only one faction of the party, instead of dousing tensions.
The petition also alleges that she has no regard for the party’s senior stakeholders, a situation that is responsible for the mass defection of APC members to opposition parties.
