“Let me state categorically that I have turned down the position of Director-General of the PDP Kogi State Governorship Campaign Council,” the lawmaker said.
“I wish PDP all the best. When truth is a casualty there is chaos.”

Musa polled 748 votes as winner of the primary. Abubakar Ibrahim came second with 710 votes, while Melaye came fourth, having scored 70 votes behind Idris Wada who came third with 345 votes.
