A particular issue raised by a source was the withholding tax ought to have been paid to the state government on the 600 million naira property she recently acquired which may amount to about 30 million naira only.

She is not responsible here. The seller is to withhold the amount and not the buyer.

FIRS assesses and collects taxes from companies while states deals with individual taxpayers. Linda will have to answer to LIRS since it involves individuals (WHT inclusive )

Viktor1983:
All muscles on linda's tax matter, All dumb on fuel scarcity.....

Does linda have a physical office in lagos?
Or does she only exist online?
Are there Laws in our constitution as regards internet concerns?
Does Lagos state have exclusive taxation rights on Nigerian cyberspace?

Dalu nu ooo!

Am sure she didn't study in Nigeria. Please guys I have a question, I have a friend who studied law in the UK, she is intending to come work in a Nigerian firm according to her.

What I need to understand is, is the Law universal? I had thought each country has her law and cases which are particular to a her, how then can someone study law in another country and practice it in another.

Please no abuses, it's just an honest question that deserves an honest and simple answer.

You are pardoned because you are not a lawyer. He will reclaim his mandate in the court. Just keep this in mind. Well, I can as well tell you the position of the law on the issue. Prince Audu was leading the incumbent governor with more than 45,000 votes at the time he died. Inec has reasons to believe that elections in some 99 polling units were marred with irregularities and therefore cancelled the votes casted in those units. The cancelled units have a combined number of over 49,000 votes. But here is the drill that made this election interesting. From last years' elections, inec introduced the pvcs that the electorate use to accredit themselves before the actual voting. Out of those 49,000 that were to vote in the supplementary election, only about 25,000 collected their pvcs thus making them eligible to vote. Even if all of them vote for the PDP, prince Audu will still emerge the winner because of his superior margin. Inec shouldn't have declared the election inconclusive. They should have declared the apc candidate the winner of the election. That inec didn't do that does not change this fact. In the eyes of the law, Prince Audu was the governor elect the time he died. Section 181 of the constitution is clear on what should happen if the governor elect dies before taking the oath of office and allegiance. The deputy governor will become the governor elect and will nominate a new deputy governor. I will send you a pm when Faleke reclaims his mandate through the court. Thank you.

...Amaechi's situation can never happen again because the Electoral Act 2010 has amended that provision..so if you don't take part in an election then you can't be declared to be d winner not even by the court...

Aguntasolo1:
The problem with Nigerian judiciary is that it is not predictable. From Awolowo's 12 2/3 to judicial activism in Amaechi's case, it's difficult to say where the pendulum would swing. Bear in mind that there would be some political interference as well.

However, Faleke should still go to court for the following reasons:

(a) The death of a candidate does not render the votes wasted as being canvassed by Wada. Since we can't say because a voter who voted either Audu or Wada last week is dead, his or her vote should be subtracted from collated figures, it follows the votes are not dead with Audu. Therefore, the votes are still valid but questions do arise as to the ultimate beneficiary.

(b) Faleke has a strong case. The election was already concluded and all he has to do is prove the obvious. If he could show that the election was not inconclusive, he would have destroyed the basis for Audu's substitution. With the number of voters with PVC less than Audu/Faleke's lead over Wada, the contention would be the role of PVC in voting process. If it could be established that a voter without a PVC cannot and should not vote, then there is a great question mark on the inconclusiveness of the election. Thus, the real question begging for answer is whether a voter without PVC can cast a ballot constitutionally.

(c) He can't work with Bello. Since a deputy governor is as powerful to the extent the governor allows, it's obvious he would be rendered redundant. He might even be impeached outright. So, he needs to fight it out while continuing his legislative duties at National Assembly.

Let there be silent over one that has ruled Lagos before can't rule kogi...emmm...shut da Bleep up mouth. I don't know maybe its a sin to welcome anyone from another tribe or state into Lagos politics...is lasgidi's one man state? Instead for them to give a kudus to Asiwaju for helped their soil boy to discovered his political career through Lagos state.... they started saying jargons! The truth of the matter is that these kogi people don't want to be rule by the Yorubakogi. But, I don't think these people foresee things the way they are in kogi that state is not growing at all...its lack good things since it was created! And both Ebiras and Igalas had ruled but nothing good to show for it. why can't you allow Yoruba Faleke to rule you guys, so that you can also enjoy part of what westerns are enjoying..like good roads, transportation and other social amenities? Don't you see that Lokoja is not part of it at all?

teamchocolate:

It may be difficult for Faleke to stomach but Yahaya Bello is the least problematic choice for APC.

Alphaoscar:
apart from Leke Pitan the other aspirants listed above later endorsed the candidature of Ambode before the election and worked for the party in one capacity or the other.


no political party can satisfy the aspirations of all its members even Tinubu , Buhari and other leaders cant have it all in the and they will have or two areas where they feels they can be better handled by the party and having one grievance against your party is not an excuse for working against the party. Now turning around to aspire to be the ultimate beneficiary of that struggle will be a great disservice to the members of the party in Kogi state.


My main issue against him is on his anti party conduct during the electioneering period.

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.

Bello Yahaya should be running mate to Faleke who has won the election for APC. Period.

jamace:
Why didn't you go to court when Faleke was made running mate to Audu? Audu/Faleke cooked the food and you don't want Faleke to chop but want your brother who was no where near the fire to come and chop, abi? Stop that tribal politics, my friend!

justmenoni:
I also got surprised anytime Apc keeps announcing that they have won the election, what if they eventually loose this election sef

Has the elections been concluded
Yes or NO

seunmsg:
It doesn't matter. Audu's political machinery controls the party in Kogi state and as at today, they are behind Faleke. Yahaya Bello cannot reap from where he did not sow.

Alphaoscar:
talking about being loyal is Yahaya bello a loyal party man??

Was he even at the late candidate's burial ? I can't remember him issuing any condolence message to the party and the family of the late candidate.


I don't know either of them but Bello is undeserving of that post.

there was a primary organized by the party and a winner emerged but he got so bitter that he refused to support the party during the electioneering period and he worked against the party and the candidate now he expects to reap the fruit of that same candidate that toiled day and night to ensure that the defeat an incumbent governor to the extent that the candidate lost his life.

seunmsg:
Ordinarily, this matter should not generate so much controversy as it it currently generating if politicians are ready to do the right thing irrespective of personal interest. Audu and Faleke contested jointly and won the election. After Audu's death, it's only normal for Faleke to step up and take over the mandate.

Bringing in Yahaya Bello after over 90% of the election had been concluded and won is very pointless. It can never withstand any legal scrutiny. APC should do the right thing and stop courting trouble.

seunmsg:
No peace move can succeed without justice. The party should do the right thing and there won't be any need for a peace move. It's even good to see that Mohammed Audu and Faleke are working together. Between them, they control the party machinery in Kogi state. APC better be wise in their decision.
