Latest report;In this situation, with the death of a governor-elect, the Nigerian Constitution states in Part 2 Section 181sad1) If a person duly elected as Governor dies before taking and subscribing the Oath of Allegiance and oath of office, or is unable for any reason whatsoever to be sworn in, the person elected with him as Deputy governor shall be sworn in as Governor and he shall nominate a new Deputy-Governor who shall be appointed by the Governor with the approval of a simple majority of the House of Assembly of the State

I have issues here...simply because he has not been declared winner before his death. This part of the constitution is talking about a winner..not an envisage one...Let's wait for INEC to intreprete this

This is what the constitution says:

section 181 of Nigeria Constitution state that
181. (1) If a person duly elected as Governor
dies before taking and subscribing the Oath of
Allegiance and oath of office, or is unable for
any reason whatsoever to be sworn in, the
person elected with him as Deputy governor
shall be sworn in as Governor and he shall
nominate a new Deputy-Governor who shall be
appointed by the Governor with the approval
of a simple majority of the House of Assembly
of the State. (2) Where the persons duly
elected as Governor and Deputy Governor of a
State die or are for any reason unable to
assume office before the inauguration of the
house of Assembly, the Independent National
Electoral Commission shall immediately
conduct an election for a Governor and Deputy
Governor of the State.


But, I have a problem here...simply because Audu has not been declared winner of the election before his death.....Does this means the entire election will be cancelled or INEC will assume APC didn't have a candidate or what exactly will happen
Well done for this insight.
But as regard your question, I believe it must have been captured by the electoral act setting up INEC and its electioneering activities too

The only thing Most Nigerians know about Kogi State apart from being the confluence town(Lokoja) is where Travellers alight to Urinate & eat during a journey. There's nothing developmental in dat state. A local govt of an average developed state is better off dan Lokoja.
I think its time 4 Kogites elect someone who will bring development 2 dat state & erase dat 'STOP to URiNATE' mentality from people's mind.
Kogi should be a Tourist Centre & not a PUBLIC TOILET. ......#ARISE KOGITES#

The average Nigerian is corrupt, only waiting for his turn to loot the treasury. That is why they are not happy to see this looters drop dead one by one. See them attacking you in a few minutes.

Tough Nut to crack. PDP may take advantage of this, because the election is not concluded yet. Had it been the election was conclusive then the APC Deputy Governor candidate will step in automatically. But as it is, it may turn out that in the eyes of the law, the APC has no Gubernatorial candidate and as such votes casted for APC are null and void.

Only God can save us. Strange things happen in Nigeria. God is talking, but Nigerians are not listening and are not learning. One of the leaders of the APC was murdered in Bayelsa State, because of the desperation of the PDP to retain the governorship of the home state of former President, Goodluck Jonathan. Nigerian politicians have committed many abominations in their bloody evil greed for power. Many innocent people have been used for ritual sacrifice for money and political power. That is why they are powerless against Boko Haram, because their hands are not clean. God does answer the prayers of the wicked until they repent. Both leaders of the new ruling party, APC and former ruling party PDP must repent, otherwise Nigeria will never know peace. Let us pray for the mercy of Almighty God JEHOVAH.

Heard he died of high blood pressure!
This should teach us that after all the struggle our lives are in God's hands he can take us at his own will!
His running mate would have become the governor but he wasn't declared the winner, so obviously a rerun election it is....
RIP to the dead tho!

Re: Abubakar Audu Is Dead - Sahara Reporters by interoute: 8:41pm On Nov 22, 2015
The law is silent on when a candidate dies in the course of an election (when election has commenced but yet to be concluded). The law only talked about when a candidate dies before the commencement of an election and when a duly elected person dies after an election but before taking oath of office. Audu is not a person (living being) at this moment and cannot be voted for during the rerun. His running mate is not a valid candidate in this ongoing election also.

If APC wins, our legal experts or the court will need to clarify on what should be or if doctrine of necessity will be applied. The interpretation will really help our young democracy

Death, etc., of 181 -
(1) If a person duly elected
as Governor dies before
taking and subscribing the
Oath of Allegiance and
oath of office, or is unable
for any reason whatsoever
to be sworn in, the person
elected with him as
Deputy governor shall be
sworn in as governor....

Now who has been elected governor? Audu died without being elected governor as far as the declaration is concerned. So how is this going to play out? Is it right for INEC to go ahead and conduct a re run of an election involving a death man? Does the constitution allow casting your vote for a death canditate as it would be the case if they go ahead with the re run? These are interesting times?
