pfadom: I still believe this is the section that will be triggered, since the act did not say anything about the current scenario we have now. A new election will be held |

tuniski: But do you see PDP getting a minimum of 42k votes to equal the difference in votes let alone outclassing the APC? The chances of that is between zilch & none... We have a real dicey situation though, no one ever saw this in a million years... Waiting for TB Joshua to tell us how he predicted this several moons ago. 2 Likes |

modath: That is it: "The results so far declared shows that APC was leading by 41,000 votes. INEC has said the supplementary election, which is not necessary, should take place in 91 polling units. The number of registered voters in those units is 49,000. Out of this, 25,000 have PVCs. If all of them vote for PDP, which is unlikely, the result won’t be enough to stop APC’s victory. Therefore, INEC should not have declared the election inconclusive in the first place”. http://thenationonlineng.net/no-election-in-91-units/ 2 Likes 1 Share |

kahal29: The electoral act did not make allowance for no of PVCs COLLECTED , It's NO of REGISTERED VOTERS , This present electoral act didn't make a case for PVCS, you know it is new... The reason INEC did that is to ensure no charge & bail constitutional take advantage of that proviso to file a case against the victory... It is a waiting game, as long as the process is allowed to continue, APC is taking it, ordering a fresh election throws a spanner into the whole thing.. 1 Like |

"...Section 181 of the 1999 Constitution allows the Deputy of a duly elected Governor to be sworn in as Governor if the Governor dies before he is sworn into office. . . .But if the person dies before he is duly elected or while the election is inconlusive the 1st runner up at his party primary election, 40-year billionaire politician, Alhaji Yahaya Bello becomes the candidate of the party. . . By virtue of this INEC is expected to invite Alhaji Yahaya Bello to contest against PDP's Captain Wada"---Audu's Deputy is very unlucky |

NgeneUkwenu:hello they are not authorities on constitutional law.When people like itself sagay talks you listen.All APC needs to prove is that .One audu voted. 2 some of the election in places of over voting or ballot box cancellation should be outrightly canceled. 3 They need to prove that there is not single ticket but rather a joint ticket because without the deputy gov candidature ,you can't run.so faleke is as important as Audu.4.what does the constitution says. Was an election conducted. Was it valid ? Yes. Inconclusive is not the same as invalid.the issue was the number remaining numbers of vote. In any election APC will still win.All they need is just to bring in echocho as the deputy.Ask any person .all APC needs is 8700 votes |

bakila:STOP MISLEADING PEOPLE. BELOW IS THE DETAILS OF THE CASE, BONI HARUNA VS INEC By Chris Agbiti Only a few Nigerians can still, perhaps, retain in their memories the event of July 16, 1999, no thanks to our collective malady of amnesia. So, what happened on July 16, 1999? A brief narration of the chain of events culminating in the said event of 16th July, 1999 under review may be necessary for a proper grasp of the lesson. The locale was in Adamawa State of Nigeria. The dramatis personae consisted of Atiku Abubakar, Boni Haruna and two other gentlemen. Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and his running mate had just won the governorship election of Adamawa State under the platform of PDP in an election conducted by INEC. However, before their swearing in, the then PDP Presidential candidate, Chief Obasanjo, just out of prison and desperately in need of a strong political machinery to realize his presidential ambition saw the usefulness of Atiku Abubakar as head of the political structure of late Yar’Adua and thus, persuaded him to renounce his mandate and be appointed his running mate. Upon his acceptance of the offer of Obasanjo’s running mate by Atiku, INEC as the electoral umpire officially wrote to Atiku of its decision to conduct a Bye_Election to fill the governorship vacancy he had left behind. However, Boni Haruna, the Deputy governor Elect, and the PDP, would have non of the INEC decision to conduct another election, as according to them, the fact of Boni Haruna’s victory at the poll had already conferred on him certain constitutional rights that entitled him to be automatically sworn in as the Governor following Atiku’s abandonment of his mandate. And so, to the court they all went to ventilate their grievances. The matter commenced at the Federal High court and raged on until it finally berthed at the apex court. At the Supreme Court, it became necessary for the court to interpret Section 45 of the then Decree 3 of 1999 (now the 1999 constitution) which provides for the conditions under which a Deputy Governor may be sworn in as Governor. According to the said Section, a Deputy Governor shall only be sworn in on the occurrence of such eventualities as “death, resignation, impeachment, permanent incapacity or removal for any other reasonâ€. It never contemplated such abandonment as happened in Atiku’s instance. However, finding itself in such a challenge demanding the assertion of its role of social engineering, the Supreme Court, in a split decision, felt a need to advance a remedy, albeit uncanny, to the strange constitutional ailment, and, EUREKA, came the ultimate remedy that became the commencement of a political terminal disease for Atiku. The Learned Justices of the Supreme Court, per UWAIS CJN (as he then was) found succor in the dictionary definition of the word, “ DIE†which according to him finds synonyms in, “ breath one’s last, deceased, depart, expire, finish, decay, decay, decline, disappear, dwindle, ebb, end, fade, lapse, vanish, wane, wilt, wither, fizzle out†and finally decided that even though Atiku was biologically alive, his renunciation of his mandate as Governor-Elect to run with Chief Obasanjo as Vice President, in effect, had the same consequence as â €œdie†within the contextual meaning of the dictionary definition of death given above. And thus, Atiku was, in effect, pronounced judicially dead, thereby clearing the coast for Boni Haruna to be sworn in as the Governor. While the above Supreme Court judgment might, probably, have been treated with the usual exchange of banter by Atiku and his acolytes, it is doubtful whether he ever took time to reflect soberly on the spiritual implication of such weighty pronouncement handed down from the sacred temple of justice. Ever thought of why court is regarded as a “Temple of justiceâ€? |

Realdeals: THE CONSTITUTION IS CLEAR ABOUT THIS SITUATION. IF INDEED AUDU (APC) IS FINALLY DECLARED WINNER, THEN THE FOLLOWING WILL APPLY AS CONTAINED IN CHAPTER IV SECTION 181 SUBSECTION (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." |
