According to Binani, her decision to contest for the Senate in 2019 was informed by the pressure she had been receiving from her supporters. She stated that she wanted to provide democratic ideals to the people.
In her words: “We are here today not for speech making or campaign but simply to register our intention to the party as an aspirant for Adamawa Central senatorial seat in 2019 elections, Insha Allah.
“Many of our supporters from central zone and from Mubi, Ganye,Jada and Toungo in opposition parties such as PDM, Mega Party, Green Party and some from PDP are formally decamping to the APC today."
Binani was received at the secretariat by the APC’s acting chairman in the state, Ibrahim Bilal, who described the declaration as added value to the party, with respect to her track record at the House of Reps.
He urged all new entrants in the state to go to their wards and register, so as to enjoy all benefits and privileges accorded to old party members.
