High drama as two governors emerge in Kogi

Falana

Two governors emerged in Kogi State yesterday soon after the Supreme Court terminated the tenure of Alhaji Ibrahim Idris and that of four other PDP governors.
One is Captain Idris Wada winner of the December governorship election and the anointed candidate of Alhaji Idris.
The other is the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Hon. Abdullahi Bello.
The drama ensued   after Alhaji Idris apparently invited Chief Judge Nasir Ajanah to the Government House,Lokoja to come and swear in Wada. Ajanah declined and drove out of the  complex.
Alhaji Idris then sent for the President of the State Customary Court of Appeal,Justice Ibrahim 
Atadoga who proceeded to swear-in Wada.
About three hours afterwards Justice Ajanah administered the oaths of office and allegiance on Alhaji Bello,the speaker as acting governor at the high court.
 Justice Ajana said on the occasion that it was sequel to the ruling of the Supreme Court.
He said there was no consequential order on who the governor should be in the state and that  he was directed to swear in the speaker in  acting capacity  pending when the decision on who to take over the mantle of leadership of Kogi would be  made. 
All members of the state  assembly, some members of the state executive and special advisers were at the high court to witness the ceremony. 
The Special Adviser to the immediate past  governor, Zakari Adamu said the President of the customary court of appeal has a right to swear in the governor.
