As an engineer, I have watched the kogi political situation with keen interest, and I have heard interpretations of the constitutional quagmire and i think i have been holding the solution in my head for too long.

My view is that the current situation of things is illegal and the constitution (which should be defended) has been raped and left bare. The steps taken by inec to resolve the situation was illegal to say at least.

Here, i present a case for Faleke (Whom i think has the mandate) to win back the mandate without any violation of the constitution.

A prayer should be made to the court to declare the inconclusive part of the election carried out as void, and the rerun be redone with Audu (yes the dead guy) as the candidate - since his death was not communicated to inec as at when it was supposed to as stated by the constitution, he is still the candidate.

After the rerun and when they are ''duly elected'' - Invoking the section which talks about the deputy taking over upon death of the prrincipal without taking oath to come to play. This will cause no violation of the constitution.

Faleke should make sure his lagos house of rep issue is properly dealt with though, as it could be an issue.


This is my take, and i believe inec should have gone ahead with Audu as the candidate to prevent all these.
Lawyers in the house please help analyse.

His house of reps issue should not be a problem since wada himself who was d Governor at d time did not resign b4 running for office.

Okay everybody us saying their own.

The National Assembly needs to put things straight very soon to avoid a lacuna in the political life of Kogi State
