Wada, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), was the losing contestant in the election which the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared inconclusive in the state.
Family sources revealed that the former governor, whose health condition had not been stable for some time, was poisoned and had to undergo blood transfusion before carrying out his civic duty on Saturday.
May his soul rest in perfect peace!
