Minister of state foreign Affairs, Hajiya Khadija Ibrahim, has defeated her step son, Mohammed Ibrahim, in the race for the All Progressives Congress (APC) Damaturu/Gulani/Gujba/Tarmuwa, Yobe federal constituency ticket.
In the election which ran into the night on Wednesday, returning officer, Prof Abba Gambo, announced that, Khadijah polled 1,295 votes to defeat Mohammed who scored only 15 votes.
According to reports, in spite of pressures mounted on Mohammed to step down for his father’s wife, he refused.
The reports said that, two other contenders including the serving representative Alhaji Abdullahi Kukuwa and Alhaji Ahmed Buba stepped down for the minister.
The minister commended Abdullahi and Ahmed for withdrawing from the race to support her win the election.
Senator Bukar Ibrahim who stepped down his re-election bid against Governor Ibrahim Gaidam, did not attend any of the party primary elections including the one contested by his wife and son.
Meanwhile, some delegates condemned the inability of Khadija Ibrahim to settle her differences with the step son at home, to avoid running against each other.
Mairo Shuaibu, a delegate from Tarmuwa local government said, “the inability of the family to settle their differences, for the son to step down for his step mother speaks of the instability in the house.”
