TonyeBarcanista:If that happens, then wahala dey! An igala man would win hands down anyday even under KOWA Party! Faleke would be nominated as deputy so he looses nothing if election is cancelled. Moreover the now faleke/ audu ticket is a winner any time! |

uchennamani: Is the issue of PVC contained in any electoral act and law, why should the court judge based on the PVC when the electoral laws only recognises registered voters not PVC holders If our electoral laws stipulates PVC holders as the basis for making an election inconclusive then you have a point, but no electoral law or even the Nigerian constitution says that PVC holders is what count but what it states is registered voters... Have you ever gone to a tribunal to argue in the context of PVC card holders? Never! What counts is the registered Voters... Holding a PVC or not holding a PVC does not change one fact of registered voters. It is up to a citizen to exercise his franchise by picking up his voter card as long as he or she is a registered voters. 1 Like |

Perhaps it's nice for Faleke to disregard APC's decision while Saraki and Dogora are called rebels that don't respect party supremacy. 1 Like |

uchennamani: You are the one who is a illiterate and who knows nothing about the law. Give me a reference to any law that recognises PVC? If you can't then you are simply out of point. PVC is only a step to actualisation of your power to vote, the paw can't make any reference to PVC, no lawyer will dare it.... There is no law in Nigeria that talks PVC, prove me wrong.... 2 Likes |

Ayatullah:You are wrong mate. It is APC that's been silly here. Faleke should be declared winner of the election. It is common knowledge. I am sure should he go to court, he will win against the party. |

Franzeez:let me tell you the novel thing this PVC did to our electoral system-it has reduced to the barest minimum the amount of irregularities that always mar our elections and it is in agreement with common sense and logic. Since inec has introduced the pvcs and made it compulsory for accreditation before the actual votes are to be casted, it certainly means that a polling unit cannot have a total number of vote cast that is higher than those that collected their pvs and thus were accredited. Do you think that Inec just came with the pvcs out of the blues, it was sufficiently back legally |

talktonase:I don't think so. if he overturns it in court, then he will be governor like Amaechi vs Omehia. Why APC have to choose Bello is cheap thinking. If they do another primary election now, Bello might not win or even come close to the winner. |
Re: James Faleke Has Committed Political Harakiri! by uchennamani(m): 7:34am On Dec 01, 2015 |
Franzeez:A combined reading of all the sections of the Electoral Act shows that the Inec has the duty to seek for ways that will make elections in this country free and fair. The use of pvc in our elections has been accepted by the courts. Aren't you aware of? |
Re: James Faleke Has Committed Political Harakiri! by BabaO2: 7:39am On Dec 01, 2015 |
Franzeez:You don't need to be insultive to make your point. PVC holders is the same as updated list. Some early voters have died, some have even been included, so people with PVC are the updated list. I will align with your sparring partner, there are lots of holes in Nigeria laws, they dont have to particularly mention PVC, it is part of electoral process and procedure |
Re: James Faleke Has Committed Political Harakiri! by Franzeez(m): 8:29am On Dec 01, 2015 |
uchennamani: That is not the issue the court will act on, the court will act on what the electoral act of 2010 says which is registered voters |

BabaO2:The Truth about it is that Audu had died earlier than it was announced in the media.If the victory of APC was announced as well then the late audu would have been replaced immediately wiith that of faleke but because APC stakeholders had the intention of effecting a pollitical chess game orchestrated in order to ouste faleke, a consensus candidate yahaya bello had to be elected by party members loyal to PMB...remember faleke was brought in by tinubu. So you can smell the tussle between the APC members them selves.Igala tribe has always ruled kogi for decades and at this point such a decision made by the party which was effected as a result of the advice by the AGF will further frustrate Faleke in court because Apc is the ruling party...lets sit back and watch the drama! 1 Like |

hedonistic: Pls about that Rotimi Amaechi case. When he came in, did he come in with his own Deputy Governor, I mean did he nominate a fresh deputy on assumption of office? Or he carried on with the Deputy to Celestine Omehia? |
Re: James Faleke Has Committed Political Harakiri! by hedonistic: 9:41am On Dec 01, 2015 |
agabusta: Of course he came in with his own deputy, Tele Ikuru. But that is even beside the point. The fact is, he took his party hierarchy to court and fought them to a standstill until the courts proclaimed him governor. |

TonyeBarcanista:Yahaya should nominate Audu son as his deputy. Faleke should go back to NASS |

IamPatriotic:Omehia criss cross River state in 2003 campaigning but Amaechi who never had a single campaign poster led River state for 4 years with vote garnered and campaigned for by Omehia. Technical issue: Whoever is campaigning is doing so to gather vote for his/her party and not him/herself. (Amaechi issue is a perfect example) Did you know that : If a political office holder elected on the platform of a party decide to leave the party(when there is no division or breakup within the party) he/she is going to forfeit the seat he/she is occupying because such candidate was not voted for but the party will maintain their mandate by having a candidate replacement or have a new election. |

uchennamani:see SAN talking about the rot in our legal education. If you understand the law and how it works then you will know that 1+1 do not always equal to 2, 1+1 could be equal to 11(eleven) provided you can prove it in the eye of the law. If you want to interprete the law you must do away with your partisan coat and do justice with the matter at hand. Law is always a headache and confusion to the layman. |
Re: James Faleke Has Committed Political Harakiri! by teeboila(m): 10:27am On Dec 01, 2015 |
MyMouth:Audu won the primary election but he's dead(note: he never won the main gubernatorial election. you may say he has won but INEC and the law say he never won the election), Bello came second in the primary election and as such the replacement for Audu. How can you say APC should jump give their vote to anybody because he's a deputy . The vote belongs to the party(APC) and Yahaya Bello is next in line after Audu according to APC, had Audu been sworn in Faleke will be next in line and superior candidate to Bello. |

hedonistic: Tnx for the info. I've been wondering. Respecting party hierarchy does not mean one should keep quiet like a dullard when one's right is being trampled on. I like Amaechi a lot for that. I also support Faleke on this. The case will even help strengthen our democracy and the legal aspects of it. |
