Justice delayed is a near justice denied. It’s Cristal clear that in the KOGI state 2015 gubernatorial election, the candidate, Late Prince Abubakar Audu who poll the highest votes died during the election (he died as the first choice of the majority) The candidate, Capt. Idris Wada who poll almost the highest votes of majority being the second choice of the majority is alive.The third choice of the majority is also alive.Alhaji Yahaya Bello is non of aforementioned. He only in at the tale end of the election and secured only over 6000 votes out of the ignorance of the citizens and sympathisers of late Audu’s relatives who erroneously the votes to be among the heritage of the deceased children. Intact, Bello got the little votes through falsehood because he came in when the election was almost concluded, his names were neither mentioned as a governorship candidate to citizens hearing nor his campaign shown, probably because campaign had already closed then. The second choice of the majority (Capt. Idris Wada) should be declared the KOGI state Governor-elect or the whole election should be nullified to enable surviving politically qualified candidates re-contest in the interest of justice, please
