Who made Kogi State an Igala land? Can Igala people produce governor unanimously without the the other tribes? When the Ebiras and Okuns are agitating for Kogi State the Igalas were agitating for Okura state. The Igalas are merely accepted to Kogi State as neighbours and because of lack of unity among the Ebiras it self made them to continue ruling and you are here saying the state is Igala land. Check out the primary election results, 2nd, 3rd and 4th were Ebiras. Combine them together and tell me if the late Abubakar will be able to smell victory if the Ebiras had combined their vote for one person as the Igalas does. Rubbish. Igala People who were called agatu (labourers) in the then Benue state before kogi was created now have mouth to say rubbish because of disunity among other tribes.

this guy u ar funny, u should b d one checkin d result of primary, ebiras 2nd, 3rd, nd fourth my foot..

Reference:


My friend there is also a moral case for the alternative candidate at the primaries. Audu had not completely won in order to 'activate' the powers of a vice. Faleke for all intents remains a 'nominee' until the elections are won. The same case making the ballot one for Audu is the same case making it one for the entire APC. Audu was not declared winner. The rocket had not lifted off. It was still on auxillary power when it exploded so its NASA's fault not the astronauts.

The court can best interprete/advice on this. Reason litigation is good for this scenario.

Aromas:
May Audu's death cause more confusion to them all, when those Igala's turns to Ebira land during 2007 election, non of sons and daughters of Ebiraland can go home due to the selfishness crises bestow on them by Igala's. As for Faleke who don't know much about Kogi politics, I'll advise him to get back to his Lagos base and continue representing the people who gave him mandate in Lagos. Or else, Tinubu will just waisted his precious life as he has done to Audu. Ask any Igala man that what does their late king tell them before he die and also Does the present king support Audu's third term ambitions Their more into this issue than what is posted online to the public. Last but not the least As Muhammed Audu the first son of Audu accept to step into it

bros u cant even construct a good sentence..i pray u dont call ur self a graduate

The major contender, this Bello guy is not Igala for your information he is Ebira.

Boy, Agatus are different tribes entirely. Stop showing your stark ignorance on a public forum like this.
And it is a pity that misinformed people are liking your post.

For you to say that we were merely accepted into Kogi as a state shows that you are so bitterly pained to your bone marrow that we have always ruled you. Until the national boundary commission act of the late 60s where it was stated that water bodies be used as boundaries to demarcate territories, our land extended up to Aja okuta which means (Stone Market) in Igala language. You see why without us there won't have been Kogi state?

It is even funny how some tiny tribe that ranks 20 (something) among the tribes in Nigeria is trying fruitlessly to compete with the 9th largest ethnic group in Nigeria. What a shame.

temitayomie:
I always know Tinubu cannot leave Faleke to fight this injustice alone. He will surely help him in court. Faleke has a good case!!!

bros oooo, is this what you called injustice? Who won the primaries of APC in Kogi state, Who was contesting the election? It was Audu, before the demise of Audu was there any winner in the election? Was anybody sworn in? Haba its a common sence bros, they neither won the election nor sworn in so, the owner of the votes Audu died, he only left the votes to the party, the 1st option the APC has is to present the number 2 in votes in the primaries, 2nd option is to conduct a fresh primaries, but in what ever the option they may choose, it must be in line with the electoral guidelines... Of which they are only left with option number 1.. Less I forget, the more confused they are the more Wada's PDP will be happy..... After all its a pure conspiracy to make Faleke the governor by tinibu, even thou hard to prove in a law court, but still God will judge every 1 based on his deeds even before the person dies..... The disgrace of tinibu is near

No legal significance I laugh in Spanish
Kindly Learn from the Learned fellows
It’s noteworthy to mention that any mistake by the APC and INEC could lead to the PDP taking advantage of such loophole. S87 of the Electoral act plays a pivotal role in delimiting the pool of candidates from which APC can pick its candidates from. The All progressives Congress had held a Direct primaries for the selection of its governorship candidate and Alhaji Yahaya Bello emerged as the runner up. Permit me to reproduce the provisions of S87 (1) (2) and (9) of the Electoral act
“-(1) A political party seeking to nominate candidates for elections under this Act shall hold primaries for aspirants to all elective positions.
(2) The procedure for the nomination of candidates by political parties for the various elective positions shall be by direct or indirect primaries.”
Alhaji Bello gains the advantage of this section has he participated in the primaries as well as screening stages conducted by the parties, the Deputy governorship candidate(Faleke) could have had the seat comfortably and staked a better claim if he had contested the primaries but its quite disheartening to find out that he didn’t S87(9) disqualifies him effectively
Where a political party fails to comply with the provisions of this Act in the conduct of its primaries, its candidate for election shall not be included in the election for the particular position in issue.
Section 141 of the electoral act also disqualifies any other candidate inclusive of Faleke, Mohammed Audu, Echocho and a host of others that may be interested in the governorship ticket as it reads thus
“An election tribunal or court shall not under any circumstance declare any person a winner at an election in which such a person has not fully participated in all the stages of the said election.”
On this basis it is not too difficult to see on what premise the All Progressives Congress bases its choice of Alhaji Yahaya Bello the Runner up in the APC Governorship primaries as its substitute for the late Prince Abubakar Audu

Drop the tribal emotions and get a good understanding of the law. Read the legal opinion of law professor, Itse Sagay.

Are u even from Kogi??





If u are not will u shut the f**k up and crawl back into that little black hole from whence u came

Tinubu cant impose his will
Yahaya Bello is our candidate

So that his stooge can starting the looting of Kogi from were the clueless one stopped. Just hope the NWC of APC makes the right decision. My number one prayer is for the people of Kogi to have good value for what they voted for.

A man would just sit down in his house in bourdillon, ikoyi and start imposing candidates on other states. Let the Kogi people decides, Faleke can't be representing people of lagos and later come to Kogi to rule the people of Kogi state, When we have competent people that are born and brought in the state that can govern.

Is it possible for a Kogi lawmaker to come down to lagos and rule?

Faleke is from kogi state. . He can rule the state where the land of his fathers is located

seunmsg:



You really need to understand the Taraba case before referring to it. PDP have no valid candidate in that election. They never participated at all in the election. And please note, winning a primary does not make an aspirant a valid candidate before the law, he must also choose a running mate and both of them must be presented to INEC within a stipulated period before their candidacy can be valid before the law.

As regards Kogi, the issue of having a valid primary before the law is to determine the candidate. In this case, Audu is the candidate and that is not in dispute. The law also provides for the candidate to choose his own deputy who will contest jointly with him. Without the deputy, his candidature is invalid irrespective of whether he wins the primary or not. So therefore, whoever he so chooses as his deputy is assumed to have jointly emerged from the primaries with him and will automatically step into his shoes when situations like this arises.


That Yahaya Bello participated in the primaries as no legal significance since he was not the winner. Faleke was validly nominated and he should legally step up and inherit the mandate since the election process as commenced already.

That is what the court needs to interprete. If APC does not handle this issue with care then Kogi should be considered lost.

Reference:


My friend there is also a moral case for the alternative candidate at the primaries. Audu had not completely won in order to 'activate' the powers of a vice. Faleke for all intents remains a 'nominee' until the elections are won. The same case making the ballot one for Audu is the same case making it one for the entire APC. Audu was not declared winner. The rocket had not lifted off. It was still on auxillary power when it exploded so its NASA's fault not the astronauts.

Party primaries doesn't produce an alternate candidate. You either emerge the winner or you lose out completely. The law does not provide for an alternate candidate other than the deputy that was nominated by the winner of the primaries. That is why primaries are not conducted for deputy governorship candidates. They are deemed to have emerged jointly with the governorship candidate.

The election has been held irrespective of whether or not a winner has emerged. The process has started and the joint ticket already garnered enough voted to make them victorious. What remains is just an academic exercise.

APC fulfilled the electoral requirements before the commencement of the election proper. With the death of Audu which is a "force majeure", Faleke should suitably take Audu's place while APC add a running mate to Faleke. QED.

Definitely. Wada is already in court and Faleke will join him. The court will have to decide the matter but APC need to be properly guided not to invalidate the already secured votes with their choice of Yahaya Bello.

What da helll ! Mr Tinubu, why pokenose on issues that merely or doesnt concern u. The kogites are to decide and Bello is the choice of d people. Remember "d voice of the people is the voice of God". Please we dont want more bad news (death)...... #teamBello...

Solution to the problem is let INEC nullify the election and order a rerun....APC is not a democratic party but a military rule,they like to impose too much

Tinubu is a respected Elderstate man who cannot say Bello"s name should be withdrawn for Faleke when he knows the position of Electoral law concerning inconclusive election.I do not believe that statement is coming from Tinubu.APC will look so stupid if they withdraw a name they have submited.Whoever has anything against the choice of Bello as the Governor of Kogi State should go to court for redress

The beginning of the end?

django1:
It seems you've made it your life's mission to fight Tinubu, I wonder why.

Why don't you address the weighty, criminal issues I raised if you can?
Moreover as a Yoruba who sees Awo's legacy being ruined by the "bastard", I should be seriously concerned.
Any proper Omoluabi should equally be concerned that the labor and sacrifices of our heroes past is being washed away by the rascal and his band of Alatenujes.
IF you are Omoluabi, you should be equally concerned as well, not so

What the hell is Tinubu thinking, can't he sacrifice whatever selfish agenda he has for the advancement of the party. Time is a crictical factor here, and he, Tinubu knows the legal implications of staging Faleke against the Pdp.

Had the igbiras United and pick one person among the contestant Wada would have been returned as gov. Igalas don't vote for party but the candidate. We all know that any other candidates against an igala man has never won a Governorship Elections in Kogi State. All the tribes making up Kogi State today were all looking for state of their own but babangida decided to merge them together, it's not igala fault. If you think Igalas have no stake in your state then form an alliance and win an election. Not benefiting from the death of an igala man who won an election. On top of which you are insulting his people.

Wrong analysis there. A deputy never participated in primaries thereby making him ineligible to stand in the run off. Had the election been conclusive then Faleke would have simply mounted the saddle. PDP will oust Faleke legally based on the Taraba case.

dsame way PDP wl oust Bello because he was not part of election proper
