The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidate in the just
concluded governorship election in Kogi State, Musa Wada, has lambasted the
Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Mahmood Yakubu
and Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu over the conduct of Saturday’s
poll.
Wada said both the INEC Chairman and IGP Adamu would account
to God and the people of the state for their roles in the just concluded
election.
In a press conference on Monday in Lokoja, the state
capital, Wada claimed that people of the state have been weeping since Governor
Yahaya Bello was declared winner of the Saturday’s election.
Wada said: “The people of Kogi were horrified, brutalized
and dehumanized. There have been weeping across the state since the
announcement of another four years of Yahaya Bello.
“We, therefore, stand with the people of Kogi to state
without equivocation that this brigandage and stealing of our mandate cannot
stand.
“We will never despair but remain strong in our
determination to retrieve the mandate freely given to us by the people in their
desire for a change. We will pursue this course to its logical conclusion
within the confines of the law of this country.
“We commend the people of Kogi state for their resilience in
the face of all intimidation. They showed, once again, that nobody can suppress
their will at any time.
“Our campaign mourns our compatriots that were killed by the
APC; their blood demand for justice and we will ensure that they did not die in
vain.
“Above all, the INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu and the
Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, will surely account to God and the
people for the roles they played in this election; if not in this world, then
certainly in the hereafter.
“We therefore call on all Nigerians to stand with the people
of Kogi state at this trying time as they quest for the restoration of their
mandate in this election.”
