Binani who came second in the election won by incumbent governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, said the protests were designed to divert her ongoing challenge of the results of the election.
The outcry was contained in a statement issued by the Binani Campaign Organization on Friday.
The campaign organisation, in the statement, claimed that some Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) have been mobilized with financial resources and other logistics to carry out the protests.
It alleged that protesters have been hired to demand the prosecution of Binani over Adamawa Governorship Supplementary Elections.
Howver, the campaign organisation said the APC governorship candidate will not be intimidated to stop the move to retrieve her mandate.
The statement signed by its Director General, Senator Ahmed Barata, the Binani Campaign Organisation was titled “Attempt to divert public attention on Adamawa Governorship Election. ”
The statement said: “It has come to our notice that in its desperate attempt to divert public attention from the strong case being filed at the Election Tribunal by our gubernatorial candidate, Sen. Aishatu Dahiru Ahmed Binani, some politicians and highly-placed forces have engaged the services of some civil society organisations (CSOs), to engage in a week-long protest in some strategic places and Western Embassies here in Abuja, to achieve its propaganda objective.
“The sponsored CSO’s have already been provided with T-shirts and Face-caps that have been imprinted with the picture of Sen. Binani and some inscription calling for her prosecution.
“We would like to assure the people of Adamawa State as well as her well-wishers throughout the country, and indeed, the international community, that neither will she be distracted nor intimidated or cowed into surrendering the already ongoing legal quest to recover her stolen mandate.
“They have tried everything under the sun to downplay the evidence of their barbaric brutality on INEC officials and the acts of brigandage they perpetrated during the last election to no avail.
“We call on all Binani supporters, our party faithful and well-wishers to ignore the planned protests by the rented members of the civil society organisations, and look forward to the good news ahead, as we are optimistic that we have an air-tight case against INEC at the tribunal that would result in Binani’s victory.” Continue Reading….
