The hope of the opposition party to overturn the election of
the incumbent Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello through the court of
law suffered a major setback on Thursday as a Lokoja High Court has faulted the
PDP Governorship Primaries held on 3rd September 2019.
Recall that, Engr. Musa Wada emerged the
candidate of the PDP for the Governorship election held on 16 November, 2019.
Not satisfied with the outcome, an aspirant in the party’s
Primary, Alhaji Abubakar Idris challenged the victory of Engr Wada.
Alh. Abubakar Ibrahim who came second in that primary
through his counsel said he won the PDP primaries, alleging the smuggling in of
600 and another missing 241 votes to favor the PDP flag bearer.
But Justice John Olorunfemi while looking at the evidence
brought before him by the plaintiff and the defendant ruled that the PDP
primary was hasty and inconclusive.
