BREAKING: PDP: Court delivers judgment on Kogi governorship election
A High Court proceeding in Lokoja, Kogi State has ruled that the Peoples Democratic Party had no candidate in the November 16 2019 governorship election in the state.
Delivering judgement on Thursday at the State High Court 4, Justice John Olorunfemi declared that the primary election conducted on September 3, 2019, which produced Engineer Musa Wada as the candidate of the PDP was full of irregularities.
The ruling was in a pre-election matter filed by the former governor of the state’s eldest son Ibrahim Idris, Abubakar, challenging the candidature of Engineer Musa Wada for PDP in the November 16, 2019, governorship election.
The judge words: “Neither the claimant, Alhaji Abubakar Idris, nor the defendant, Engineer Musa Wada, can lay claim to being the authentic candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party since the primary was inconclusive.”
He said the claimant, who claimed he would have won the primary conducted by the first defendant if the missing votes belonging to him were added to his votes, could not convince the court to declare him winner.
