Meanwhile, Senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Senator Smart Adeyemi, a son of former Kogi State Governor, Shuaibu Abubakar Audu and three others who contested the primary have demanded immediate cancellation of the results.

The grouse of the aggrieved governorship aspirants was that the alleged unlawful selection of Ododo ran foul of Section 177 of the 1999 Constitution and Section 29 and 84 of the Electoral Act, as well as Article 20 of the APC Constitution.
