The Governor of Kogi State, Captain Idris Wada, has filed a suit at the Federal High Court in Abuja, seeking to stop the substitution of the late governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In the suit, the Governor is asking the court to stop the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from conducting the proposed supplementary elections with a ‘substitute candidate’ to be fielded by the APC.
The APC candidate, late Mr Abubakar Audu, died a day after the November 21 election, few hours before the Kogi governorship election was declared inconclusive by INEC.
In the alternative, the plaintiff is asking the court to order a fresh governorship election within a specified period.
