Yahaya Bello Fills Nomination Form As APC Candidate For Kogi Poll by abdulmumini60(f): 7:37am On Nov 30, 2015 |
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has given
its Kogi State governorship nomination form to
its new candidate, Mr. Yahaya Bello, to fill.
The development may have foreclosed the
consideration of any other candidate as the
party’s standard bearer.
Bello filled the form, which was signed by a
Commissioner of Oath. It was returned to the
APC National Secretariat.
It was learnt that the form was attached to the
letter of nomination, which the National
Chairman of APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun,
sent to INEC on Friday.
The party retained Hon. James Abiodun Faleke
as running mate – a position Faleke rejected,
insisting on the mandate the people gave the
late Abubakar Audu/Faleke ticket.
A top officer of the party said: “We are in
receipt of many petitions but it is already late
for anybody because we have nominated
Yahaya Bello as the party’s substitute for
Prince Abubakar Audu.
“Of course, we have automatically retained Hon.
James Abiodun Faleke as our deputy
governorship candidate.
“As a matter of fact, we gave the nomination
form to Bello to fill on Friday and we have duly
submitted all relevant documents to INEC.
“You can direct further enquiries to INEC and
Bello, who is now our candidate.”
It was gathered that APC rushed to give the
form to Bello, despite the fact that it has up till
December 1, to pre-empt legal action especially
court injunction.
A member of the NWC said: “We hastily
concluded the nomination process to stave off
any court injunction which may hinder the
party’s chances for the supplementary poll on
December 5.
“We took advantage of Friday to seal the
process because any of the aggrieved parties
could rush to court before Tuesday and allow
the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) to emerge
winner of the Kogi Governorship Election on a
platter of gold.
“If we do not check the dirty war over the
substitution of our candidate, APC may be the
ultimate loser.”
When contacted, a media aide to Bello said: “It
is true that our principal has filled the
governorship nomination form as presented to
him by APC and we are aware that the form has
been submitted.”
A source in INEC also confirmed the
submission of the form. “Yes, it has been
submitted,” he said pleading not to be quoted. |
