Kaneng, the wife of the late Majority Leader of Plateau House of Assembly, Gyang Fulani, was elected on Saturday elected to replace her husband on the Barkin Ladi State constituency seat.
The seat became vacant following the death of Fulani with Sen. Gyang Dantong, on July 8 in a stampede when gunmen attacked mourners at Maseh, a village in the Bachit District of Riyom Local Government Area.

WTF?

Whaaat?! Is this some kind of joke?

Elected by whom and who and where and how?

D tin do turn dem family bizness na,smh for this country

Okpari !!! I no fit laff abeg...

na today. all is well. notin spoil.

It is a norm in PDP. Former Deputy Speaker of Ebonyi State House of Assembly completed her late husband's seat of two terms.

Is it a family thing now? So when the wife die, they should give
The seat to their first son. Rubbish.

She ran? for the election and won. Kini big deal?

It is called compensation as long as she is qualified and was elected.

That can only happen in Nigeria. Plutocracy, aristocracy, nepotism mtcheewwwww

Madnes!

God news. Think of it, what if it was your father that died, wouldnt you wish the people should reward him for his services by compensating the family by allowing your mum to replace him. There is absolutely wrong with that.

New lows everyday. I tire

lol,
wife was busy contesting elections in just how many months of husband's death.
whatever happened to mourning.

abi na she kill d man, lol

tjskii: D tin do turn dem family bizness na,smh for this country

when you get there you can abadone your own family.

What a family heritage ?

Chei, Fi Di Fiiiii
Fawaaaaaaa!!!

When the people do not decide who to elect.

She came to complete the husband tenure,no big deal.

She is as qualified as any other person.

But in my African mind here, wondering how the mourning ended so soon and she joined elective politics less than 3 months after her husband died.

Uwa wu pawpaw mehn,yaw
Wen the wife through with the seat her first son go replace her.
The family don take style inherit that seat be that ooo,no need for election again.

A prisoner has won an election in naija. All na arrangi.

I wonder how people think atimes... Not like she was imposed, a free and fair by-election took place. it can happen anywhere in the world and its called compensation. Whats with this "mourning period" thrash. Her husband died, is she supposed to mourn all her life and not make use of the opportunity offered her to build her family the way the late husband would?? I just wish we'll someday get more rational people to comment around here...

Classicalman: She ran? for the election and won. Kini big deal?

no mind them!

Doesn't seem strange to me. I don't see anything wrong with it, so far as the election is free and fair. There are many "political families" around the world.

The Kennedy (Bobby was attorney general when John was president)

The Ghandi

The Aquino

The Bush

The Sri Lankan president and her mother

Etc

Is She qualify?Why not.

just like senator mamman Ali , the former governor of yobe that passed away some 2 yrs ago. His younger brother
was compensated with Deputy Governor.. It did not start 2day!!

Gudnews, d state & fed govt need to do more to compensate d family, he died while servin d country

tjskii: D tin do turn dem family bizness na,smh for this country

When pastor die and the wife takes over you people don't complain. She duly contested for the post as any member of the party and she was voted for by the people and won. Is there any problem with that??

this is jonathan and jega form of free and fair elections. free and fair when everybody knows who will win in all the elections.
