The Special Adviser to the Governor on Media, Mr. Farouk Adejoh, denied plans by the governor to impose his son-in-law on Kogi PDP as the party’s governorship candidate.

Although the governor initially supported Echocho, a sudden game-changer revealed that he might back a former owner of EAS Airline, Captain Idris Wada.

Adejoh said: “We have made our point; the governor is not imposing any candidate. He is the leader of the PDP in the state and he has undertaken to provide a level-playing ground.

“It does not mean that we are not aware that some aspirants are already fighting out of their wits to engage in fresh primaries. And they have been raking up all sorts of mudslinging at the governor and Wada. I can assure you that all the allegations are false

“Contrary to insinuations, Capt. Wada is not a son-in-law to the Kogi State Governor. Only somebody in Wada’s family is married to the governor’s daughter.”

But apart from Wada, a businessman, Isa Kutepa and a former UN expert, Dr. Onukaba Adinoyi-Ojo have also obtained forms to participate in the fresh primaries.
