Engr. Musa Wada reportedly scored 748 votes, followed by Abubakar Idris with 710 votes, the former governor Captain Idris Wada came third, while Senator Dino Melaye came fourth.
Dailypost reports that Musa Wada, who hails from Dekina Local Government Area of Kogi State is a younger brother to the former governor of the State, Captain Idris Wada and also an in-law to another former governor, Idris Ibrahim.
Reacting to the result of the election, Dino who took to his Twitter handle posted
“It is ridiculous to declare a final result of PDP Governorship primary election in Kogi State when my votes sorted out yesterday in 8 out of 10 ballot boxes are missing.
“Only to declare votes in 2 out of 10 ballot boxes as my votes. Totally unacceptable. Senator Dino Melaye.”
