Aishatu Binani has officially resigned from her position as the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) in Adamawa, according to the All Progressive Congress (APC) in that state.
Following the party's stakeholders meeting in Yola on Friday, Raymond Chidama, the state party secretary, confirmed it to reporters.
According to him, Yola, the Chief Justice of the Federal High Court, declared the party's governorship primary that produced her invalid, leading to her resignation.
“Just this morning we saw her letter of stepping down from that responsibility”, he said.
Mr Chidama said Babale Martins, deputy governor to former governor Muhammad Bindow, was now to co-ordinate the campaign council in the state.
According to him, all party candidates, from the president down to the state assembly, were also coordinators for their respective constituencies.
He said the party had finally resolved at the meeting that the local government party chairmen should come up with an all-inclusive list that reflects the true campaign team.
“The party has directed all local government chairmen of the party to go back and meet to come back with a formidable list that will be acceptable to all that will serve as the PCC in the state and operate at each level.
“As you are aware there is a PCC list from the national level for the state, that list will not be affected,” he said.
The Federal High Court in Yola on October 14, nullified the Adamawa governorship primary of the APC, which produced Ms Binani as the party’s gubernatorial candidate for 2023.
On the case filed by Nuhu Ribadu, Justice Abdulaziz Anka declared Ms Binani’s candidature null and void, ruling no candidate for the 2023 governorship election in the state.
