Recall that Faleke has consistently refused to be running mate to Yahaya Bello in the December 5 supplementary election. Bello replaced the late Audu following the latter’s death.
Faleke is arguing that he should automatically inherit the ticket left behind by Audu after his sudden death while the results were being announced.
Making the allegation, in a statement issued by Duro Meseko, the director of media and publicity of the Audu/Faleke campaign organisation, Faleke said there are attempts to “mischievously” announce his name as deputy governor during the swearing-in ceremony of Bello.DD
“I want to bring to the attention of Nigerians plans to call me out to take oath of allegiance as Deputy Governor to Alhaji Yahaya Bello today in Lokoja since it is the Deputy that takes oath first. The mischievous script is to announce my name for oath taking at least three times after which they would declare that the Deputy Governor-elect has absconded but would be sworn in at a later date. They would now go ahead to swear in Bello as the the Governor,”he said.
“Let me make it very clear to the good people of Kogi State and Nigerians in general that I am not Deputy to Yahaya Bello and will therefore not be present today at his inauguration. I had made my position abundantly clear to my party, the All Progressives Congress ( APC ) and Independent National Electoral Commission ( INEC ) that I will not serve as Deputy to Bello, neither would I participate in the December 5, 2015 Supplementary election.
“A strongly worded letter was written to the leadership of APC and INEC to back up my position. It is therefore the height of political mischief for anyone to attempt to call my name for oath taking at an inauguration ceremony they know I would not be present.”
