Declaring Binani Winner, A Civilian Coup – Shehu Sani

A former Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Senator Shehu Sani, says the controversial declaration of the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Aisha Dahiru, aka Binani, as the winner the governorship election of Adamawa State, amounts to a “civilian coup.”

The state’s Resident Electoral Commission (REC), Hudu Yunusa, on Sunday morning stoked controversy by declaring Binani winner while collation of the Saturday’s supplementary poll had not been concluded.

However, the INEC overruled Yunusa’s declaration, suspended collation of results and summoned the REC to Abuja.

Sani in a statement he personally signed and made available to journalists in Kaduna, described the declaration as a “civilian coup.

He, however, commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for taking the bold step to suspend the collation of the election results.
