‘Never been this bad’, Knocks as Nigerians react to Binani’s ‘void’ declaration

A flurry of reactions have continued to flood the nullification of the declaration of Senator Aisha Dahiru, popularly known as Binani, as the winner of the governorship election in Adamawa State.

Recall that Binani was on Sunday morning declared the winner of the Adamawa governorship poll with no result announced by the Resident Electoral Commissioner for the state, Barrister Hudu Yunusa.

In reaction, the electoral body summoned Yunusa over the controversial declaration.

Its spokesperson, Festus Okoye made this known on Twitter while announcing the declaration as void.

Nigerians have since reacted to the nullification of the declaration, expressing dismay at the conduct of the electoral body over the election.

“@ChudMo: I dey tell you; the inec matter shock devil. It has never been this bad naa.

@Obongowoibesik1: INEC in all honesty should be scrapped and built again. The current INEC is absolute garbage.

@Lawmac5: The INEC chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, trampled on laid down rules and procedures when he declared a winner while election results were still being collated. The REC for Adamawa state is merely following the footsteps of the boss. These are pointing to the end of democracy in Nigeria.

@GasmalielAminu: Inec don run April fool for Aunty Binani

@Wabbillionaire: It’s obvious that this is not a well-structured body. INEC under the leadership of Prof Mahmoud Yakubu has once again failed to live up to expectations.

Never been this bad

Aptly put.

I no reach to add anything again

This what some people call democracy

They should all calm down. Typical of Nigerians, when something goes wrong instead of conducting a detailed investigation, they are calling for scraping of INEC, some are even blaming democracy. No system is perfect, what needs to be done is find out what went wrong and fix it asap

What do you expect when the old druggie is allowed to be walking around with a stolen certificate?

I can only put the dot at end cause everything in my mind was well captured by the OP

Elections have always been problematic in Nigeria because we do not take time to prepare. After the elections everyone goes to sleep, till the next cycle then when things go haywire we start acting surprised.

Wait , some people will come to say PO this, PO that

Few days Tinubu will be on seat before Supreme Court decision..

Them Apc and Yoruba Apc go too sell this country eh..

They go too manhandle this country ba?

E go shock devil and abacha for grave..

Devil go open mouth ..in awe .. they go do am..

God help Nigerians and Nigeria as a country

Mahood Yakubu has destroyed INEC.
The adamawa REC was only following after his boss.

Las las we go dey Alright 😏

this is why it's very important not to appoint an illiterate as the director of a big corporation. how much more a country?
what magic were Nigerians expecting under Buhari?
he has managed to erode every single progression made since the return of democracy.

This Adamawa case get as e be..

Misleading, Binani is trying to steal Fintiri mandate through Abuja and the rec. Fintiri is the winner and not one Binani. APC is evil and should be podged from our system

Comedy central.

But Senior Advocate Festus was celebrating the declaration on Twitter already…anyway, I just ed Festus keyamo isn’t a lawyer but a hayseed, lout , lummox and a philistine
This government has generally made elections a big sham. Most right thinking people are disinterested in whatever results are announced because we don't even trust the arbiter. Basically we've gone back prayers which seems like our only hope

Indeed... So bad that it getting worse.

In all ramifications, BUHARI government is the worst the world has ever experienced.

Nigeria Jaga Jaga

Summary of 2023 election - Never been this bad.

For those of you on nairaland who were congratulating the Binani as the first female governor in Nigeria during the first round of elections, you can now see for yourself. A senator and former member of house of representatives who should know better who a state returning officer for the gubernatorial elections should be. The Hudu criminal should be finished by firing squad because such a person shouldn't be living with humans.


NB- Come to think of it that this dastardly act is being carried out while the REC, Binani and their cohorts are fasting (Ramay). God forbid

Shut the f*** up. What gave the REC the effrontery to announce Binani as winner. Nonsense

Hmmmm,
Na now Dem realize abi?


9ja no dey work iii
We r just employee in their company (in d name of government)
Bwa-ahri go just dey laugh us cos he knw say say d next government go show us fire,
The real one,
And na everybody go feel,
No tribe go Dodge am
No religion go Dodge am
No oba go Dodge am,
E pain me say for this past election,
I see able body men dey kill demself for politicians,
I really felt it,

Hmmn

How many naija reacted, I biliv only hypocrites among Nigerians.

Anybody that wants to win, let him or her win in legal and constitutional way.


......the same people blaming INEC for not transmitted results in real time are also backing REC for usurping power of RETURNING OFFICER in declaration of Binani as gov.

You are entitled to your opinion no doubt, but your comment is nothing to write home about.

Maurice Iwu is a saint compared to this Yakubu, God will punish him

This is exactly what he did on the 1st of March when he kept postponing collation until when he woke up at 4.00am agbado time to announce result without any result sheet in his hands

Okay
