The immediate past Governor of Kogi
State, Idris Wada, has said he is not seeking to inherit the votes of
Prince Abubakar Audu, the late All Progressives Congress, APC, candidate
in the November 21, 2015 governorship election.
Wada said rather, he was contesting the results of the governorship
election because of alleged irregularities, noting that it was
unfortunate that the APC flag-bearer, Audu, died. Wada made the
assertion while adopting his petition before the Kogi Governorship
Election Tribunal sitting in Abuja.
Under cross examination by counsel to Independent National
Electoral Commission, INEC, Governor Yahaya Bello and APC, Wada said
though he was deeply saddened by the death of his long time friend, he
was of the opinion that Audu’s votes were voided by his death and could
not be inherited by anyone.
In a related development, a forensic analyst, Mr. Samuel Oduntan,
also testified before the tribunal, saying he was the leader of the team
that carried out forensic examination of the election documents and
that they discovered various irregularities.
