also now suing. I told you it’s not yet over in Kogi. I think I kinda like
this, yaay, you just can’t ‘impose’ someone. Bello didn’t even win APC’s
primaries. Kogi State Governor, Capt. Idris
Wada, who was also the candidate of PDP at the Nove,be 21 and December 5
Governorship polls in the State has filed a petition challenging the
declaration of the All Progressives Congress candidate, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, as
the winner of the governorship election in the state.
The Secretary of the Kogi State
Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal, Mr. Akanji Akinlabi, told journalists
in Lokoja, the Kogi State capital, on Wednesday that Wada, the governorship
candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, filed the petition at about 7.15pm
on Tuesday.

signed by his lawyer, Chief Chris Uche (SAN), who is leading other lawyers
including two other Senior Advocates of Nigeria. The respondents in the
petition are the Independent National Electoral Commission, Bello and the APC.
