There are unconfirmed reports that the camp of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) in Kogi State is allegedly confused over documents that
surfaced online and reported by the Nation’s newspaper online and Daily
independent, depicting the health status of its candidate, Engr Wada.
According to a report by Vanguard, Wada was alleged to be
admitted at the Federal Neuro-Psychiatric Hospital, Yaba in 2005 for alleged
delusions with distorted speech. The report stated that Engr. Wada was
allegedly admitted for rehabilitation and medication with the patient number
001364.
The report has that in the build-up to the 2011 elections in
Kogi state, documents emerged on the mental state of Capt. Idris Wada from the
University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan. The elder Wada’s mental state on
admission was allegedly one of paranoid delusions and auditory hallucinations
according to his medical record.
Till date, no medical record from the UCH has confirmed
Idris Wada as a discharged patient of the Psychiatric unit. In a report
published by The Nation newspaper, an affidavit deposed to by Uchechukwu
Clement, a lawyer, stated that contrary to claims by Wada on oath under part B,
Article E Question 1 “Idris Wada had at a point been adjudged to be of unsound
mind”.
