PDP rejects Kogi governorship election outcome, Wada heads to court

The Peoples Democratic Party on Sunday said it would challenge the outcome of the governorship election in Kogi State before the election petition tribunal.
The Publicity Secretary of the party in Kogi State, Bode Ogunmola, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Lokoja.
Ogunmola said the results of the election was unacceptable to the party and cannot stand the test of time.
He said the death of the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Abubakar Audu, on November 22, while collation was ongoing had made it inevitable for the Independent National Electoral Commission to declare the Peoples Democratic Party’s candidate and incumbent, Captain Idris Wada, the winner of the poll.
Ogunmola said the PDP had rejected the declaration of Yahaya Bello as winner of the exercise, saying that the party would challenge the results before the tribunal.
He commended the people of the state for their support to the party before and during the poll, urging them to continue to be law abiding.
