Philip Aduda contested the senatorial seat in this election under PDP, but because of his religious bias he campaigned for LP candidate as president against his party candidate Atiku.
As God will have it his Gbagyi people had only memorized the logo of LP as preached in their churches, so they voted the logo only on all the ballot papers. This is how a little known Hajiya Heebah Ireti Kingibe won her election without campaign.
Philip Tanimu Aduda worked against a muslim candidate of his party and lost his election too to a Muslim.
Ireti's mother comes from Kwara while her father is from Borno. All muslims.
She contested primary election in APC and lost before she decided to join LP. It is very likely she will return to APC after swearig in.
A Hausa proverb says: Idan zaka gina ramin mugunta, to gina shi gajere.
Meaning: when you want to dig a hole of mischief, make it to be shallow because you may end up in it.
