Faleke has a tenable case. The election petition tribunal really failed to consider the merit of his case. He should exhaust all legal channels to get back his mandate. 4 Likes |

Lawyer will just eat this guys money, 1, He did not participate in all the process as required by law because he wasn't in the primary election so giving the ticket ab initio was like handling the governorship to PDP hence they gave the ticket to runner up, as it stand Yahaya bello participated in all election process as required by law. 2, This Faleke is a member house of reps representing a constituency in Lagos state and at the same time claiming to be Kogi governor, talk about eating cake and still having it. 3, My fear for Faleke is at the end of this drama he will be politically irrelevant both in Lagos and Kogi 4 Likes 2 Shares |

In the case of CPC vs Ombugadu. Page 45 of the judgement. The supreme court affirmed that votes belong to the candidate and also affirmed that a primary expires as soon as a winner emerges. So Bello really has no claim over primaries section 141 of the electoral act as amended was enacted to correct what is called the amaechi mischief in legal parlance. That section affirms that a CANDIDATE that does not participate FULLY in all stages of an election cannot be declared WINNER. Note the emphasis on CANDIDATE and WINNER. not party but candidate. It is a no brainer to know that votes belong to candidate and not to party. The judgement of the kogi tribunal did not come to those who are conversant with electoral cases as a surprise. The kogi case is a political case and justice can only be done at the apex court- the supreme court. Expect political judgements from the first two courts- tribunal and appeal. Bello knows he is in trouble hence his resort to using scare tactics to prevent the major actors in the case- faleke and wada from apealing. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

He has a slim chance of winning, the tribunal did a nice job only that there is limit to when a party presents its candidate. Faleke should get stronger legal team. APC played it's game well, reconciliation should be considered. |

KOGI- PLOT TO PREVENT WADA AND FALEKE FROM GOING ON APPEAL REVEALED. There are indications that following the tribunal ruling that controversially dismissed the petitions of James abiodun faleke and former governor idris wada, plans have been set in motion to ensure that the major petitioners do not proceed on appeal. This plan was hatched when the tribunal judgement was procured from the trial judge via the influence of the president court of appeal- justice zainab bulkachuwa. Our source who is an insider in the Bello camp revealed that the first stage of the plan was to purchase the judgement for over a billion naira. The next stage is to deny both parties of the judgment transcript so that they cannot file their appeals on time- thus giving the court of appeal the opportunity to throw the appeals out on the technicality of late filing. Already that plan is underway as the tribunal chairman, justice halima muhammad has been incommunicado since last week. Without her presence, the judgement transcript cannot be released. Another aspect of the plan is to use the security agencies to harass and intimidate the petitioners. Already, many people are held up in underground cells undergoing torture to force them to implicate the petitioners in crimes so they can be picked up and forcefully prevented from going on appeal. |

He should appeal the ruling already... The votes belong to the party, therefore the party can transfer it to any tom dick and harry... Why didn't parties reclaim the mandate from governors who defected to other political parties... That election had already been won technically...by Abubakar Audu.. 1 Like |
