Bashir El-Rufai, the son of Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, has reacted to the controversy surrounding Adamawa State’s governorship election.
In a tweet on Tuesday, Bashir described the state’s controversy as a lose-lose situation for the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate.
Bashir believes that whether Binani wins or loses the governorship election in Adamawa State, the situation is dire.
He stated that if Binani wins the governorship election, her victory will be viewed as a robbery.
Bashir also stated that Nigerians will not forgive Binani for allegedly conspiring with the state’s Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Hudu Yunusa Ari, to usurp the election.
Remember that Ari declared Binani the winner of the governorship election on Sunday while the results of the supplementary election were still being tallied.
However, Ari’s declaration was overturned by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Bashir in his reaction on Tuesday wrote:
It is a bad situation whether she wins or loses. If she wins, it would be perceived as a stolen mandate whether or not she actually won.
If she loses, the attempt to usurp an election in connivance with the REC is not a reality many will forgive or forget. Lose-lose situation.
