A female Senator, Aisha Dahiru Ahmed Binani, beats six male aspirants and political giants to secure the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship ticket in Adamawa State.
The election committee chairman, Malam Gambo, declared Binani the winner, after scoring 430 votes, the highest in the election to defeat Nuhu Ribadu, a former presidential aspirant of the Action Congress and pioneer chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), who polled 288 votes.
Binani is currently a serving senator of the All Progressives Congress APC representing Adamawa Central senatorial district in the 9th Assembly and also the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
