What will happened to Masquerade that trekked from Abuja to Kogi on his victory?

Make this Faleke man go rest joor. He is more of a Lagosian than Kogites. Gov. Yahya Bello came second after late Audu but the party decided to give the ticket to Bello. This man should respect his party's decision.

The final judgement in Kogi guber election cases favour rerun or Wada coming back as governor. So Yahaya Bello, Faleke and APC need to close ranks and fight this battle in unison so that the unexpected will not ruin their expectation. Unfortunately, they won't.

The most annoying thing is that, we don't have judiciary in this country. Cases will be presented in such a way that one will think that the facts and findings are relevant to enhance timely judgements, but to do the pronouncement it will take decades.

ommie:
As hearing continues at the Kogi Governorship Election Petition Tribunal in Abuja, 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.

You shouldn't be sentimental in your report but objective. Reporters ought to know how to choose their words in other to avoid this. However, assuming without conceding that you are ignorant, you only[[/b]dock an accused[b] not witnesses.

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.

dey there dey talk, by d time INEC will come up with a reason to y his application wasn't approved I'll see what defence u will come up with. y not ask urself why should sb who has the interest of his ppl at heart not resident among them. its same reason York the footballer lost d presidential election Alien Johnson in Liberia due to his absence during the war which lasted for 32yrs.

WATCHOVER:

When commenting always think wisely. If the case become worst for Bello , wada will be declared winner.

And you think you are wise too?

How in the world can you even transfer votes to someone who wasn't even in the consideration of the people?

Just imagine Donald trump losing the primaries, and then getting the votes transferred to him cos something happened to the main candidate, do you think Americans would find that funny?

The votes belong to a candidate not the political party he represents.

That I like a political aspirant doesn't mean I give a toss about his party.
This is common sense!

Why should he respect that nonsense decision?
Is it even thinkable that votes get transferred from a deputy to one who couldn't win his primary eletion?

Many Kogites probably never thought about the prospect of him being Governor, and you just transfer the votes to him.

The votes belong to the candidate not the party, and what they are doing is very disrespetful to Kogi people.

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

u are wrong! It is the more u look the more u see but u will be unable to do anything as a result of the shock from too numerous revelations! Same thing with PDP. They are all the same but with different names/acronyms!!!

Answer this sincerely.

do you like every single APC card carrying member?
Would you have being happy to see PMB votes transferred to Saraki or anyone else you dont really like in APC?

When your beloved PDP was in power what did they do??!! Because there is no free money to chop again una don dey vex abi.

INEC told the party to produce a candidate and the party did. Who chooses the candidate to represent the party? Is it the party or the populace?.

my brother remember you got for party and not the person because the persons picture was never in the ballot paper.
what make it disrespectful?
What I have noticed is that an Average Igala man ( which I suspect you are or a sympathiser of bleaching falake)
believes the governorship in kogi is for them.
People coming up with the argument that he did not register in kogi are just trying to be petty. Don't say someone has a stick in his eyes while you are carrying along of wood in yours.
Faleke, did he register in kogi?
How is he then representing lagos state.?
Did faleke contest the kogi APC primaries ?
No one believed that Audu was going to die that's why it is like this if they knew during the primaries they could have rigged it so that an Igala man comes First to tenth.
What this teaches us that you can only plan for yourself and not for your opponents .
Whim God has blessed the person coursing them is just talking.
Kogi Politics very interesting.

The Vice should have been chosen.

That would have been fair.
Meanwhile INEC goofed.They should have given it to Faleke or Cancel the elections.

Bro, they didn't goof because they followed what is in their code of conduct. Put the blame on the party not INEC.

Capt. Idris Wada stand the strongest chance of coming back to Gidan Lugard. I still have high hope for Falake.

God will not allow apc do this to us.Bello is an imposition on the people.

Quakertellicus1:
The problem is that it is not clear in the laws of Nigeria whether a Party can replace a dead candidate with his deputy or another candidate.

The tribunal has a hard job ahead. Any judgement passed is going to sound wrong somehow.

This is really a test case. It shows the flaws in electoral law/act. That nobody thought about death in such a situation.

I think we're too superstitious about death, even those who drafted the law.

WATCHOVER:

When commenting always think wisely. If the case become worst for Bello , wada will be declared winner.

A very valid point. Faleke himself is trapped by this same PVC issue because i am very sure he(faleke)did not register in kogi either. worst case wada will be declared.

same was said about wike, ikpeazu etc.....only time will tell.

APC just shot themself in d left yash

So Bello 'won ' the election without a deputy while Faleke is claiming that he 'won ' but without the principal. Meanwhile Wada is the the candidate that finished the race without any controversy.
V. P. Sir, can you, as a SAN, help us out objectively, judiciously and equitably.

GUY IS LIKE YOU ARE A DAY DREAMER

Bello did not even apply to transfer his pvc from abuja to kogi!
It means Edward onoja LIED under oath! Last time I checked that is perjury and it is a jailable offence.

Edward onoja- chief of staff to Yahaya Bello dozing off terribly in court yesterday! Even he knows the truth!

JUST IN CASE YOU MISSED THIS- Kogi: Tribunal Admits Wada’s Expert Report, Dismisses APC, INEC’s Objection

YEMI ADEBOWALE on March 4, 2016 at 7:43 pm

The Kogi State Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Abuja on Friday dismissed objections by counsels to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello and ordered the defendants to proceed with their defense after counsel to the complainant, Idris Wada tendered a report by forensic experts which established irregularities in the Kogi gubernatorial poll.
According to the report tendered by Idris Wada through his counsel, Chief Chris Uche SAN, four major areas of irregularities provide sufficient grounds to invalidate some of the results of the gubernatorial poll, which saw INEC declaring the APC candidate the winner of the election.
The issues, based on information exclusively obtained by SIGNAL, include ballots papers that were not stamped and dated but still counted for political parties, ballots papers supplied in excess of registered voters that were not returned but entered as valid results, cases of over-voting as well as number of registered voters less than total votes cast.
Based on investigations conducted by a team of electoral forensic experts, Wada submitted that a total of 172,426 votes were invalidated by the said irregularities. 119,062 of the invalidated votes were recorded in favour of APC while 53,364 of such votes were recorded in favour of the PDP.
The invalid 119,062 votes, when subtracted from the total figure of 247,752 polled by the APC in the gubernatorial elections leaves the APC with 128,690 votes. On its part, when the invalid 53,364 votes recorded for PDP is subtracted from its total figure of 204, 877, the PDP would be left with 151,513 votes making Wada the rightful winner.
It was based on the foregoing that Wada went before the tribunal to protest what he termed, “gross irregularities” during the polls.
Counsels to APC, INEC and Yahaya Bello objected to the submission of the forensic report but the Tribunal Judge Justice Halima Mohammed overruled and set aside the objections, ordering the defendants to prepare their defence as hearing commences proper at the Tribunal’s next sitting.

You had a very bad conclusion and illogical position of the law... Firstly, the first election was contested keenly by Wada and the APC candidate now deceased... The logical thing would have been to declare Faleke the winner, however, the inconclusiveness of the election voided such proposition. Therefore, the rerun election qualifies only the candidates that participated in the first election as the only valid candidate to re contest... Faleke having inherited the votes of his late boss ought to have flown the ticket of APC, running against the PDP Wada... Apc missed the point by nominating Yahaya Bello. However, that would NEVER give Wada the baton.. The rerun is merely voided by the fact that Yahaya Bello was not a qualified person to run.. The votes casted for Yahaya is held in trust for APC to be inherited by Faleke and not the other way round.

I've said it before; Faleke has a good stead to win the case

Chanchit:
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.

wada will be declared by d tribunal as gov og kogi. wait n see.
