A petition signed by the Chairman of Odu Ward 1 (Wada’s ward), Dekina Local Government in the state, Utonu Ijele; Secretary of the ward, Akeji Jacob Akeji; and former secretary, Yunusa Omagada, and submitted to the National Working Committee (NWC) of PDP Monday, stated that the winner of the governorship primary election, Wada, is not a member of the party.
According to the petitioners: “Alhaji Idris Wada came in the company of some persons requesting that the ward secretary should oblige them the register. The secretary refused, whereupon they forcefully took away the register.
“When the register was later brought back, it was discovered that it had been tampered with by deleting (by use of tipex) of the original name in serial No. 583 and the membership number together with the age indicated therein.
“The name of Idris I. Wada who was never a registered member of the party in the ward was inserted into the register as Serial No. 583 with membership No. 7455310. Besides, Serial No. 586 was also in similar manner altered with the insertion of the name of one Musa A. Wada membership No. 1593543. On discovering this, we protested seriously to Alh. Idris Wada but he ignored and left with a threat to deal with us if we made any noise about it.”
