As hearing continues at the Kogi Governorship Election Petition Tribunal in Abuja, one issue is crystal clear, even to the blind, is that the current sojourner in Lugard House, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, is a goner.
With godly sincerity, Yahaya Bello has the worst case in the history of governorship petition in Nigeria.
Today, the social media came alive, first, with the pictures of the Chief of Staff, Mr. Edward Onoja dozing uncontrollably during tribunal sitting before he was docked in the witness box. Unfortunate confessions by this star witness left Yahaya Bello supporters gasping for breathe.
Right before our eyes, Edward Onoja admitted, in the witness box, that his oga at the top, Yahaya Bello, is not a registered voter in Kogi state. Edward claimed Yahaya Bello applied to transfer his permanent voters card, PVC, to Kogi state but the application up till now has not been approved. This 11th hour confession is a sharp departure from the bold claims by his associates that he voted in Kogi State during the last elections.
It is worthy to note that the laws guiding our country Nigeria states that:
A person shall be qualified to contest the Presidential, Governorship or National Assembly elections if:
(a) he is ordinarily resident in the constituency in which he intends to contest the election or is an indigene of that constituency;
(b) he is registered as a voter in the Constituency in which he intends to contest the election;
(c) he produces evidence of tax payment as and when due for a period of three consecutive years immediately preceding the year of the election or is exempted therefrom;
And other requirements.
You will recall that you published one of my well-researched article on your platform on 22nd January, 2016 (Incontrovertible Proofs That Yahaya Bello Was Invalidly Nominated for Dec. 5 ‘Supplementary’ Election – Adamu Ojonugwa) . In that piece I argued that Without a running mate, nomination of a Governorship candidate is INVALID. Today, in the witness box, our dear Edward Onoja was shown the form filled by Yahaya Bello, the space required to be filled by the deputy was not filled. That is, Yahaya Bello ran the unfortunate supplementary election without a deputy. Onoja had no choice, he agreed that Yahaya Bello never had a running mate for the controversial December 5 supplementary election.
It will take Judgement crafted outside the laws of the land for Yahaya Bello to survive. Technically, he is out of contention. The highly anticipated tribunal ruling is obviously a race between former Governor Wada and Honourable James Faleke.
The logical conclusion is the declaration of Wada as winner of the badly fought election as the living candidate with the highest number of votes or overrule INEC’s decision that the November 21 was inconclusive and declare Faleke winner. While Yahaya Bello lawyers labour day and night to discover or create a ‘legal lacuna’ that can be capitalised upon to knock out these mighty cases on ‘technical grounds’, it is becoming more and more difficult to achieve that as the counsels to both Wada and Faleke are well experienced in election petitions processes and games.

APC type of democracy. The more you look, the less you see.

Pls he should go fast.

Ok

This is getting interesting

we are watching.

Impossible, Bello is kogi state governor backed up by the law if you review the act of electoral reform decree under the 1999 constitution.
Not getting his Pvc transfer is the fault of Inec but as long his Pvc detailed has been registered online at ince database, there is no cause for alarm.

Tor

It's bodly written he didn't registerin in kogi and the law state it clearly. So he is out

Watching how this ll play out.
Do I trust this APC control govt, no

Am just interested in him Bello yahaya to pay salaries to it's state workers

Watching n waiting.

Wetin dey find blood, even if them give am palm oil, e no go take; Bello is a gonner!!!!

Yahaya Bello will remain as d governor because he didn't registered in Kogi doesn't disqualified him because he wrote to Inec for a transfer and also he is d only living candidate that contested in d primary where he emerged second to late Audu so constitutionally he is d governor......


GBAM

Bunch of desperados.......these politicians are damn too desperate for power not minding the consequences of their desperate actions. I wondered when APC will conduct credible elections in this Country.

MALLAM YAHAYA BELLO WILL GO INSHA ALLAHU. THE RIGHT OWNER WILL EMERGE VERY SOON. HIS EXCELLENCE JAMES ABIODUN FALEKE. KOGITES ARE WAITING FOR YOU SIR

Our attention has been brought to the purported propaganda going around as regards today's hearing at the tribunal where the Chief of Staff to Kogi State Governor stood on witness box as a witness to the first respondent.

The petitioner's (Faleke) lawyer had asked the CoS on the scores of his principal in Dec.5th suplimentary to which he replied
"Party names and logo is what we have on the ballot"

People who do not understand the logic behind his intelligent response said he failed to answer correctly.

The stand of GYB is that, both Late Audu vote and the suplimentary election result belong to party and it is the choice of the party to determined who replace late Audu.

If only he answered as expected by the petitioner's lawyers, it means his principal cant win with his scores in supplementary election alone.

So his response mean his principal represent APC and both the main and supplimentary election result belongs to the party.

In a nutshell, Faleke's case was dead on arrival.

Anyway lest I forget, the people's Governor just arrived the country from Equatorial Guinea with President Buhari. AYB ti tek ova

princemillla:
It's bodly written he didn't registering kogi and the law state it clearly. So he is out

You try.. So where did he *registering*.... ?

Una dey dia dey deceive unaself. Obiano successfully transfer him card when he became governor?
How many voters card him get

The last time I checked, Faleke is still representing Ikeja federal constituency, meaning that he probably did not register in Kogi State as at the time of the election.

Don't let us deceive ourselves

APC is to blame for all this rubbish, why put Yahaya into the picture when they can just get Faleke a deputy, I would even be happy if Wada wins, so it would teach them a lesson.
