Senatorial candidate Adoji confirmed the information.

Adoji had stirred up a whirlwind of support that has thrown up intimidating popularity ahead of the election.
The ADC’s Senatorial candidate’s formidable political presence had attracted the attention of the ruling party chieftains, especially Governor Yahaya.
