The reelection bid of Governor Idris Wada of Kogi State may have suffered a major setback following indications that former President, Goodluck Jonathan and some entrenched interests within the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, are against him returning to the Government House in Lokoja.

The immediate past President and his supporters accuse Wada of being responsible for the party’s defeat by the All Progressives Congress (APC) during the presidential election, according to The Nation.

It quoted a highly placed source who disclosed that the ex-President believes that Wada supported the APC presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari because he is a Muslim, adding that his grouse with Wada also bordered on the latter’s visit to former President, Olusegun Obasanjo in his Abeokuta home in Ogun State, at the height of the presidential campaign.

Wada lost in his ward and local government to the APC during the last presidential election, despite the alleged “huge war chest” made available to him by the presidency to prosecute the March 28 election.

It was gathered that other forces against Wada’s emergence as the PDP governorship flag bearer include the party’s former national chairman, Dr Ahmadu Ali and former Governor Ibrahim Idris.

The PDP National Working Committee, NWC, on Wednesday postponed the governorship primary in Kogi State from Thursday to Monday, September 14, attributing the shift to logistics issues.

The newspaper gathered that the party is actually shopping for Wada’s replacement, which is the real reason for the last day postponement of the governorship primary.

According to the source, “Jonathan believes that Wada supported Buhari because he is a Muslim and that he went to visit Obasanjo before the general election.

“These are some of the reasons why you are seeing what we are witnessing. Ahmadu Ali is angry… They argued that Wada deliberately lost his ward and local government in favour of Buhari.

“Idris needs N4 billion which he used to finance Wada’s2003 election and that Wada has not paid him all the while, but that he needs the money now”.

Despite the perceived outcome of the state party congress which favoured Wada, the fear that the national secretariat might spring its own delegates list during the primary is another source of worry for the governor’s camp.

Hundreds of party delegates massed at the Government House Lokoja early Thursday morning, with rumours of plans to take their protest against the unfolding development to Abuja.

“You see the large number of delegates, but the truth is that they have an equally large number of delegates on their list at the national headquarters and this they can bring. Nobody is sure,” said another source.

Jonathan d looser..sharap and watch wada d mad man loose weda u support him or not

my sister, i hate Wada with passion.. He has not done anything in my state.

it will shock everyone when at the twilight of the deadline by INEC, Wada is picked as the gubernatorial candidate for the PDP. And come election day, he goes on to floor the over confident Abubakar. The only annoying effect of this would be Abubakar's tantrums after his loss and APC's wild accusations and insinuations about being rigged out with, even all of the Federal might at their disposal.

if I say make God punish(twist) that your mouth that u use in abusing a man that is old enough to be your father, people will say am been harsh.next time learn how to express yourself with name calling, how was ur day?

Kogi people make me laugh oh no young energetic people in that state no disrespect but i think it should have been the most wealthiest state in Nigeria. I know them, they will vote for salary paying road building governor. People in that state lack ideas I know that for sure.

PDP again still don't know this is a democratic regime, not goodluck regime tell the people what you can do. They still don't have a clue that you try to convince the people not inec.

let them vote the candidate of their choice ...but i cant vote for apc again if the continue with this type of change am seeing...

Shut that bleep up. Have you ever asked your fellow PDPians like Severeanusshape and other fools who insult Buhari here on Nairaland daily and call him names, to stop calling the President names because he's older than their grandfathers?! Stop being a hypocrite!!

oga u can shut me up all u care, the fact that I even have time to advice her is quite surprising to me, cus normal me will just over look it, seriously believe she is old enough to know what is right and what is wrong, if her conscience is OK with that then she should fvcking do it. I myself I have abused buhari,i have abused Jonathan even abused Obama, I even questioned God but does that makes it right, does doing that make u happy, is that d target u wanna achieve? Will u sheepishly go ahead and do that which u know is wrong all bcus one Mr severanushape or whatever u called him is doing it?..havent u seen or heard about people robbing a bank, have u tried it just bcus others re doing it? C'mon dude u need to grow up, live ur life d way u wanna live it, u re d ceo of ur life, don't live some one else's life and don't allow them to dictate or negatively influence ur life.

I am not going to vote on election day.
The two candidates presented by both parties are evil. People's party of Nigeria (PPN) should present a credible candidate.

Later they will say it's only buhari that is witch hunting, is your hero not witch hunting now, smellos
