The chairmen who have been leading the crusade against the failed re-election bid of the out-going governor at the grassroots, stormed out of a meeting place in the GRA section of KEffi where they were waiting for the official declaration of the governorship result which put Al-Makura defeating Doma. The result showed that Al-Makura polled 324,823 while Doma got 320,538.
The chairmen were led by Barrister Mohammed Sani Bawa of Nasarawa LG who took Doma to court, Engr. Mohammed Idris of Keffi and Bashir Abubakar Sharubutu of Kokona, all of whom stormed the streets with bare feet, screaming anti-Doma slogans.
