Fresh crisis is rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over the emergence of Engr. Musa Wada as the candidate of the party for the November 16 governorship election in Kogi state. The Senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye and Abubakar Ibrahim, son of former governor of the state, Ibrahim Idris yesterday kicked against the emergence of Wada and petitioned the National Working Committee of the party over the issue. Impeccable sources at the PDP National Secretariat told our correspondent on Thursday night that the aggrieved aspirants stormed the Wadata Plaza in Abuja, where they registered their grievances.

Abubakar scored a total of 710 votes while Senator Melaye scored a total of 70 votes at a primary poll conducted in Lokoja, the state capital, last Tuesday and Wednesday respectively. Senator Melaye told our correspondent that he rejected the outcome of the primary on grounds that all the votes cast in his favour were not counted before gunmen disrupted the exercise. Daily Trust learnt that Melaye submitted his petition to the National Secretary of the party, Senator Ibrahim Tsauri. At the time of filing this report, Abubakar on the other hand was still at a meeting with the party’s NWC.

Engineer Wada who clinched the ticket after garnering a total of 748 votes, made a surprise appearance at the party’s secretariat, accompanied by a mammoth crowd of supporters and political associates. Our correspondent also gathered that the party was supposed to present a flag to Wada as winner of the primary poll but shelved it for today, following the protest by some aspirants.

Dino shouldn't be talking jor.. Even the invalid votes is more than his votes.

Dino don suffer oo, PDP Noisemaker

Senate gone!!! Government house gone!!!!

Akpabio the new minister right now

Who sent the Gun men? Believe me Yahaya Bello has a hand in it, he knows that others are an easy ride and Dino is a tough one

Power from above.

Good

These people should rally round this man to see how they can unseat bello.

If truly they are patriots and are genuinely concerned about the plight of our people.

Dino is already a senator (a senior senator for that matter).

This is not right.

Abeg losses should go an rest let the victory celebrate nahhhh

Wada as PDP flag bearer is OK

Imagine how they have already lost the election to a very useless GYB even before the election

Dino how market

MAKE THEM GO SIT DOWN NA,

PDP will be doing this nonsense now, Yahaya Bello will win again.

Empty barrel makes the loudest noise...
Dino is not even popular at the level of the party...

Dino should just enjoy the senator seat while the stocks last

See your life.

Dino remains one of those politicians who resurrected and made it back to the Senate on board the "Sai Baba" band wagon in 2015.
If not Smart Adeyemi had him under.

Now Dino likes to think of himself as Dino Corleone or Dino Makavelli.

Breeze don blow, foul yansh don open.

He might now not return to the Senate again.


Let's hear him give us more of his nursery rhymes "Oh my home Oh my home, when shall is see my PDP"

If only they can come together

As the shooting no fit give Ibro's son the party ticket, they will resort to discrediting the process and might even work for GYB. Such a selfish of son an equally selfish man. He will be worse than GYB, if he were to be Governor of the state.

Dino will just make noise as usual and team up with flagbearer. He has everything to lose if he opposes the PDP flagbearer. That would be tantamount to having an enemy outside and at home. His enmity with GYB should be enough and he is supposed to work for GYB's ouster more than anyone in Kogi state.

Igalas, by this primaries have shown how they will vote in the general elections.

We no green. APC must have rigged.

Nawaoo. May heavens come to our rescue. Local man is finding it hard to can.

Dino right now : am in pain

PDP can never settle.

PDP is the as far back as 2015, what we have as PDP is nothing but carcass.

Anyone can govern Kogi but not with Ferrari Dino

Bugatti Melaye

dankt:
We no green. APC must have rigged.

Listen to urself

What happened in Osun will repeat itself again here in kogi

Eyah... Dino no even get enough mind to win primaries for his of party then he feels he can unseat a sitting governor.
