The crisis in the Adamawa State chapter of the African Democratic Congress, ADC has deepened as Senator Aisha Dahiru Binani, yesterday rejected the outcome of the party’s congresses.
A Congress Committee sent from the national headquarters of the party led by General Ishaya Bauka said it has conducted congresses from polling units, wards and at the state level producing Barrister Sadiq Ibrahim Dasin and 53 other officials to lead the affairs of the party.
This is despite a high Court order suspending the exercise until after the determination of case instituted by the embattled chairman of party, Comrade Shehu Yohanna.
Senator Binani rejected the outcome while addressing her supporters who organized a solidarity rally as an aftermath of controversial congresses explaining that her bloc as a law abiding entity opted not to participate in the said exercise due to circumstances that surrounded the exercise.

She assured her supporters that their confidence in her will not be in vain urging them to be patient as necessary action would be taken in the interest of her political movement soonest.
In his address at the rally, an ADC stalwart Peter Hardly Dilli registered his displeasure with the development accusing a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation of being the brain behind the unnecessary crisis in the party.
Dilli said that the Coalition had earlier met and agreed to share the party in to three blocs including Senator Binani bloc,Transition bloc headed by Sadiq Dasin and the ADC party legacy bloc led by Shehu Yohanna with a view to accommodate all political interests with in the party.
Dilli explained that the sharing formula for the blocs agreed on was 33% to the transition group,Senator Binani group and legacy/Party group while former Vice president Atiku Abubakar bloc was allocated 1% of the structure of the party.
He also queried Sadiq Ibrahim Dasin’s led executives for deliberating refusing to obey the court order restraining the conduct of ADC party congresses pending the determination of the case by the court
Also speaking at the solidarity rally, former Senator Ahmed Batata told the gathering that the meeting became urgent and necessary so that the bloc can address the issue at hand especially the political adjustment.
Barata announced that the Binani bloc will communicate the next line of action whether to leave the platform or to take necessary action in rectifying the fault at hand.
Political analysts in the state are of the view that if nothing urgent is done to address these differences then the party may be heading for a crash ahead the 2027 general elections.
