An uproar had ensued on Saturday when some party mostly youths chanted ‘’ Bama Yi-Bama Yi ,’’ in an attempt to snub the senator at the party secretariat.
Binani and other APC members at the National Assembly including party chieftains were at the party secretariat for the State Working Committee meeting.

Though inside sources say that the youths were venting their anger over alleged ‘’ undiplomatic approach’’ meted on them by some members of Binani’s team.

‘’We are fully aware that some disgruntled elements were sponsored initially to disrupt the meeting but all to no avail, because the meeting ended smoothly.
‘’ These youths that were few in numbers, we have their records that they were sponsored by some empty- vessel party members.
‘’ But let me assure you that, the distinguished senator and her amiable team is not rattled at all!
‘’ Despite their attempt to disrupt it, the meeting was observed smoothly,’’ he said.
In the meantime, the state chairman of the party, Hon. Ibrahim Bilal who presided the meeting had asked party chieftains to bury their differences and work towards the unity of purpose.
Bilal was emphatic that with the new entrance of new defectors which include former governor of the state Mr. Bala James Ngillari, and formidable team, ‘’ APC will bounce back in 2023.’’
