LOKOJA — Controversy over the candidacy of Capt. Idris Wada as governor of Kogi State is yet to end with a group known as Association for Justice and Good Governance, Kogi State, yesterday  calling on the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC to conduct a fresh governorship election in the State.

The association Chairman, Akuh Guyman who protested at the State House of Assembly complex, over Wada’s candidacy, urged INEC to obey the February 17, 2012 judgment of the Supreme Court ordering a fresh election in five states including Kogi, where the governors were enjoying tenure elongation.
