"Indeed, it was not an easy contest and I am extremely humbled that our delegates have found me worthy to fly the flag of our great party, the PDP.

"This victory is not mine alone, it belongs to the people of Adamawa South and Adamawa State who desire a greater tomorrow."

Binos explained that, "The credibility of the process is a testament of our great party’s deeply entrenched respect for the rule of law, fairness and due process and this is a feat we must all be proud of. 

"I want to use this medium to extend my hand of fellowship to my fellow contestants who by all standards are eminently qualified to also represent the party, to join hands with me and together make Adamawa South a much more peaceful and united place. 

"The task ahead is a daunting one, which requires sacrifice, dedication and total commitment."
