The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Adamawa says it will
appeal the court ruling nullifying the party’s primary which produced Aishatu
Binani as its governorship candidate.
A federal high court in Yola, on Friday, nullified the APC
governorship primary.
In a judgment delivered on Friday, the court also declared
that there will be no candidate for the APC in the state for the 2023
elections.
Binani, the senator representing Adamawa central, defeated
Nuhu Ribadu, former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC), and Jibrilla Bindow, former governor of the state, to win the primary
held on May 26.
Speaking on the development at a media briefing on Saturday,
Raymond Chidama, APC secretary in the state, said this the party received the
news with “mixed feelings”.
He, however, said the party would appeal the judgment.
“We objected to the position of the court for refusing to
order for the conduct of a fresh primary election,” he said.
“All avenues of
justice would be exploited by the party to ensure equity and fairness through
the process of appeal.
“I want to assure our members that our party will definitely
participate in the 2023 governorship election.”
The APC secretary also expressed optimism that the party
would be victorious in the 2023 elections.
