Withdrawal Of Suit Against Binani, APC Commends Ribadu

The Adamawa State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has commended Malam Nuhu Ribadu for his decision to discontinue with court processes challenging the emergence of Senator Aisha Dahiru Binani as gubernatorial candidate.

The party noted that the action of the former EFCC boss showed sportsmanship and loyalty to the party leadership.

This followed result of the verdict of Court of Appeal that resolved the dispute arising from the governorship primaries

The decision went against the prayers of Ribadu who had called for fresh primaries in the state.

The High Court had barred APC from contesting the governorship race.

Ribadu, who had earlier challenged the judgment of the High Court, has now yielded to pressure from the party not to continue with the legal tussle.

The former Economic and Financial Crimes Commission Chairman, in a letter to the state party leadership, said he decided to allow the status quo to remain in the interest of the party unity.

He explained that after consultations with his family, political associates and party leaders at different levels on the next step, he allowed a sense of reason to prevail.

Ribadu thanked his well-wishers and teeming supporters who sacrificed a lot and offered unflinching support for the tremendous goodwill and immense support he received from them over the years.

The party leadership in the state has commended Ribadu for his action.

The coast is now clear for the opposition All Progressives Congress in Adamawa State to go into 2023 gubernatorial polls as a united front.
