All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship candidate in
Adamawa State, Aisha Dahiru Binani has dismissed the claim of N2billion bribe.
The suspended Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC, Hudu
Yunusa-Ari had declared the Senator the winner of the election on Sunday under
controversial circumstances.
In a statement on Tuesday, Binani said her attention was
drawn “to a very bizarre and wild allegation purportedly made by an officer of
the Department of State Services (DSS)”.
The DSS officer, in a video, said the flagbearer gave out
N2billion to some unnamed Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC,
officials.
“I never did. I would never do such”, she stressed, saying
that the claim “was allegedly made when the officer was being tortured at
gunpoint”.
Binani said those who tortured him were “the agents of the
Adamawa State Governor and the Government House police team alongside their
political thugs”.
The lawmaker described herself as a committed democrat who
will never do anything to subvert democratic process.
“I am not a do-or-die politician. In the past I have won
elections into the House of Representatives and the Senate in a free and fair
manner,” she said.
Binani added that what happened in Adamawa was an
unsuccessful attempt to subvert the will of the people.
She said the REC was illegally told to stand down by two
INEC national commissioners from Abuja who were supposed to be in Adamawa in a
supervisory capacity.
“Even more curious is the nocturnal visit. The roles of
these INEC officers and the real mission to the Government House should be of
interest to all democrats,” she added.
Binani urged all lovers of democracy to take a deeper
interest “in our electoral process and democracy not only in Adamawa but in the
whole country.”
