Ahead of the March 9 gubernatorial election, President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday in Yola, Adamawa State, said Binani’s election will open opportunities for women in the country and send a signal to the world about Nigeria’s leadership maturity.
Buhari showed his support for the gubernatorial candidate while campaigning alongside Bola Tinubu. He said “I came here to make sure that from the end of Nigeria to other places, I want to identify with the candidate, Binani, and other candidates. “We are here to ensure that Sen. Binani becomes the first female elected governor God willing. Her election will speak to Nigeria and the world through Adamawa State.
“I thank you very much for all the support. I want everyone to support her to win. And for those in opposition to us, I wish them the best of luck,” The president said “We will give her our moral support. The women have been fighting from a distance, let them now come close, and also share in leadership.”
He also twittered this on his official social media platforms “The people of Adamawa have the opportunity to set a record in our nation’s history & politics, by putting into office Nigeria’s first elected female Governor. I am calling on all the people of Adamawa, and Nigeria, to support Senator Aisha Binani, and ensure her victory in March!”
