Binani Defends Against Lawal's Allegations in NDC Feud

Senator Aishatu Dahiru Binani, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) governorship candidate for Adamawa State in the 2027 elections, has responded to allegations made by former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Engr. David Babachir Lawal. Lawal accused Binani and other North-East NDC candidates of acting against the party's national interests after they rejected his claim to leadership in the region.

In a statement issued by Mathias Yohanna, the Director of Media and Public Affairs for her Campaign Organisation, Binani dismissed these accusations, emphasizing that her position was based on a collective decision made during a meeting of NDC gubernatorial candidates in the North-East, which recognized Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso as the party's leader in the Northern region. Binani's campaign organization called for intervention from the national leadership of the NDC to address Lawal's divisive actions and to uphold democratic consensus within the party.
