The British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Catriona Laing, has withdrawn her congratulatory message to the female governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Adamawa State, Aishatu Dahiru Ahmed mostly known as Binani.

Laing had on Sunday congratulated Binani when earlier votes collated suggested that she won the Adamawa State governorship.

The Envoy wrote on her Twitter handle, @CatrionaLaing1: “Great news! Huge congratulations to Aisha Binani. I hope you will be a trailblazer for other elected female Governors.”

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) official figures showed that the incumbent Governor of the State and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Umaru Ahmadu Fintiri, is leading Binani so far with the result of only one local government area outstanding.
