Tinubu Insists On Faleke For The Kogi Supplementary Election by Monimatic(m): 6:35am On Nov 30, 2015 |
There were indications last night that leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) were still divided over the choice of Alhaji Yahaya Bello as the party’s candidate for next Saturday’s supplementary governorship election in Kogi State.www.leadership.ng/news/479132/kogi-supplementary-poll-tinubu-insists-faleke 3 Likes |

Ordinarily, this matter should not generate so much controversy as it it currently generating if politicians are ready to do the right thing irrespective of personal interest. Audu and Faleke contested jointly and won the election. After Audu's death, it's only normal for Faleke to step up and take over the mandate. Bringing in Yahaya Bello after over 90% of the election had been concluded and won is very pointless. It can never withstand any legal scrutiny. APC should do the right thing and stop courting trouble. 141 Likes 14 Shares |

seunmsg:Has the elections been concluded Yes or NO It’s noteworthy to mention that any mistake by the APC and INEC could lead to the PDP taking advantage of such loophole. S 87 of the Electoral act plays a pivotal role in delimiting the pool of candidates through which APC can pick its candidates from. The All progressives Congress had held a Direct primaries for the selection of its governorship candidate and Alhaji Yahaya Bello emerged as the runner up. Permit to reproduce the provisions of S87 (1) (2) and (9) of the Electoral act “-(1) A political party seeking to nominate candidates for elections under this Act shall hold primaries for aspirants to all elective positions. (2) The procedure for the nomination of candidates by political parties for the various elective positions shall be by direct or indirect primaries.” Alhaji Bello gains the advantage of this section has he participated in the primaries as well as screening stages conducted by the parties, the Deputy governorship candidate could have had the seat comfortably and staked a better claim if he had contested the primaries but its quite disheartening to find out that he didn’t S87(9) disqualifies him effectively Where a political party fails to comply with the provisions of this Act in the conduct of its primaries, its candidate for election shall not be included in the election for the particular position in issue. Section 141 of the electoral act also disqualifies any other candidate inclusive of Faleke, Mohammed Audu, Echocho and a host of others that may be interested in the governorship ticket as it reads thus “An election tribunal or court shall not under any circumstance declare any person a winner at an election in which such a person has not fully participated in all the stages of the said election.” On this basis it is not too difficult to see on what premise the All Progressives Congress bases its choice of Alhaji Yahaya Bello the Runner up in the APC Governorship primaries as its substitute for the late Prince Abubakar Audu 34 Likes 3 Shares |

APC won't last as a party. They are just a conglomeration of different politicians with different vested interests. I wouldn't blame anyone who believes Tinubu was behind the grand scheme of making Faleke a deputy governor so that he will emerge as governor after killing Audu. If Buhari is not a dullard, he should be watching his back as well because Osinbajo must have been planted there for a reason. Tinubu has an agenda which is obviously different from those of Buhari or Kwakwanso or Rochas. They are not united as a party and thus will crumble. 55 Likes 6 Shares |

Euro31:Who made Kogi State an Igala land? Can Igala people produce governor unanimously without the the other tribes? When the Ebiras and Okuns are agitating for Kogi State the Igalas were agitating for Okura state. The Igalas are merely accepted to Kogi State as neighbours and because of lack of unity among the Ebiras it self made them to continue ruling and you are here saying the state is Igala land. Check out the primary election results, 2nd, 3rd and 4th were Ebiras. Combine them together and tell me if the late Abubakar will be able to smell victory if the Ebiras had combined their vote for one person as the Igalas does. Rubbish. Igala People who were called agatu (labourers) in the then Benue state before kogi was created now have mouth to say rubbish because of disunity among other tribes. 72 Likes 2 Shares |

May Audu's death cause more confusion to them all, when those Igala's turns to Ebira land during 2007 election, non of sons and daughters of Ebiraland can go home due to the selfishness crises bestow on them by Igala's. As for Faleke who don't know much about Kogi politics, I'll advise him to get back to his Lagos base and continue representing the people who gave him mandate in Lagos. Or else, Tinubu will just waisted his precious life as he has done to Audu. Ask any Igala man that what does their late king tell them before he die and also Does the present king support Audu's third term ambitions Their more into this issue than what is posted online to the public. Last but not the least As Muhammed Audu the first son of Audu accept to step into it 7 Likes |

A man would just sit down in his house in bourdillon, ikoyi and start imposing candidates on other states. Let the Kogi people decides, Faleke can't be representing people of lagos and later come to Kogi to rule the people of Kogi state, When we have competent people that are born and brought in the state that can govern. Is it possible for a Kogi lawmaker to come down to lagos and rule? 6 Likes 3 Shares |
