Barring
any last-minute twist of events, Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi state is set to
win his second term bid with a comfortable margin.
Collation of results for Saturday’s election in the 21 local government has
progressed with only three local government areas left to be announced.
So
far, the PDP candidate, Engr. Musa Wada, is leading in eight local government
areas of the state while Governor Bello of the APC is leading in ten local
government areas.
Also, the PDP candidate has the
required one third in about 15 local government areas while the APC candidate
has one third in 17 local government areas.
Meanwhile
The
Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC) has announced the adjournment
of collation of Kogi results to 9am on Monday.
The
results of only Ibaji and Lokoja local government areas are outstanding with
Governor Yahaya Bello in clear lead in 11 local governments.
His
closest opponent Engr Musa Wada of the People Democratic Party (PDP), who has rejected the outcome of the exercise, is leading
in eight local governments.
