No part of MMIA looks like that, at the very least they won't need to pass through where they are once they land at the terminal. Something doesn't add up esp with those pictures.

HCT
Hajj and cargo terminal....

Remember that there will be precedent. I will see how faleke can be prevented.

The mandate belongs to APC not Audu

Why James Faleke Cant be the APC Governorship Candidate
"In my candid opinion, those who are calling for a fresh party primary and statewide governorship election thereafter needs to factor in the provision of Section 178 (2) of the 1999 constitution (as amended) which says election to the office of the governor should be held not earlier than 150 days and not later than 30 days. Wada was sworn in as Kogi State Governor on January 31, 2012 and as things stand, INEC may not have the wherewithal to conduct a fresh election throughout the state within the next one month left for it to do so. For those pushing the joint ticket argument, Audu alone ran in the party primary while his running mate was nominated by him or his party after he emerged victorious at the intra-party election. Meanwhile, for a person to be a candidate of the party under our extant laws, particularly Section 87 of the Electoral Act 2010, as amended, he must have participated in all the stages of the nomination processes. That is, he must have undergone the party primary. Faleke unfortunately did not undergo primary with Audu. To my own mind, the cost and time-saving thing to do by the APC and INEC is for the party to nominate the first runner up to be its candidate while INEC should go ahead to conclude the election by holding supplementary poll in the 91 polling units where election could not hold or was cancelled. Meanwhile, it is not the first time INEC had declared election inconclusive and went ahead to conduct a supplementary election. It happened in the governorship election in Ekiti State in 2009, Imo State in 2011 and 2015 to mention but a few.
Last line, it is now imperative for political parties to ask for certificate of medical fitness from their candidates before they are nominated to INEC to run elections. Perhaps, that will guard against what happened with former President Umaru Yar’Adua and now Abubakar Audu".

IdisuleOurOwn:
Nop.

There was an agreement for power shift come 2020.

With who ? If Igalas produce another person do you think the person will serve only one term ?

barcaboi:
he was even contemplating defecting www.eaglereporters.com/2015/09/19/kogi-guber-election-on-the-planned-defection-of-yahaya-bello-to-sdp/comment-page-1/

Did he say he will defect .....
Was it not sources the news report quoted

IdisuleOurOwn:
You too follow me see the error ba?

Sen. Hadi Seriki is from Katsina State.

As for the replacement of late Audu, it is better APC replace him with another Igala man.

IS IT ONLY IGALA IN KOGI STATE

donphilopus:
Is Sen. Hadi Seriki not the Minister of State for Aviation from Katsina State? How come he came all the way from Katsina to support Wada in Kogi?

another senator sorry apologies, my mistake
Its Senator Alex Kadiri

barcaboi:
are u new to Nigeria? Bello said he and his fans will vote for Wada.....abi u no read am

When? where
Stop spreading false rumours

Alphaoscar:
Is it true that your man worked against APC during the election ? I heared he never associate himself with the party throughout the electioneering period.

I hope it's not true but if that happen to be true then he should just wave bye bye to the ticket.

He campaigned for Audu .... When he came to Okene
That line is just mere propaganda because he has the best chance

Pecca:
what am i supposed to make of that...?

You said

habatically, even ur Attah is a xtain.

Just correcting a wrong impression
Christian participation in politics especially Kogi state is actually very low

Pecca:
you misunderstood me. i have a lot of xtain friends who are of the Igala tribe. what am saying is that xtains in Kogi have decided to stay in the background in kogi politics. habatically, even ur Attah is a xtain. but i dont see a xtain rulling that state in the nearest future. that is wat i mean

Am not Igala.........

FemiFaniKayode:
What APC intends to do is do an internal consensus primaries that throws Faleke up as Gov candidate giving him legitimacy then appoint a deputy from Igala.
what the AGF said was APC should substitute so whatever method they want to use is solely theirs and legally binding.

Good one from APC NEC now let the serious politicking begin

Time for primaries has passed

MEILYN:
Ocholi Vs Wada, who would have won?

Wada
Ocholi could not win even ApC primaries

sholatech:
Yahaya Bello that came second would easily have taken the position. If only he had known! But he openly canvassed for the PDP during the elections and spent huge sums of money for the PDP and didnt contribute any quota to APC's leading Votes. Morally, should not even benefit from the votes already secured by APC

OnlyMotors:
I don't get. Is it the same Yahaya Bello who actively campaigned for PDP during the election? Cause that anti party activities he demonstrated very much disqualifies him as a replacement. He played 4k each to voters from Okene local government to vote Wada of PDP. Even the party is aware as I heard over the radio today on political platform

Have you both heard of name dropping??

barcaboi:
bello is out.....he sided with the opposition. ..thats a bad and disloyal party man...Ocholi is my choice

how is he bad, all this propaganda against Bello cant work

meforyou1:
do you want her to lie to you? Igalas wount allow igbira or Okun rule. Igala and [b]igbira [/b]combined wount allow a Christain rule

It is Ebira not Igbira kindly correct your self
The Ebiras have never governed the state before

meforyou1:
where in the constitution or electoral act is that stated?

the constitution does not specifically provide for it, the Electoral act does find a way but it isnt expressly stated...
Besides it need not be the runner up, a contestant is enough

donphilopus:
Lol. . .Owky na. .Are you from there?

yes

MEILYN:
You are not from Kogi, so you shouldn't be saying things you know nothing about. I am from Kogi, Igala Christian to be precise and I know my people don't engage in politics of religion.

You dont live in Kogi......

meforyou1:
bello contested primaries and lost. In taraba, they gave it to the APC woman that contested general elections against the PDP man.
So far the primaries were properly conducted and a winner emerged.

a runner up exists.......

GoodGovernance:
Any other ticket cannot be supported either by the electoral act or the constitution.By virtue of the provisions of the electoral act,Faleke cannot contest for governorship because he never partook in any primary election!

FALEKE CAN ONLY REPLACE AN ELECTED GOVERNOR ,AS A DEPUTY GOVERNOR, WHICH HE IS NOT YET!

Bello participated in the Primaries so he is qualified
Faleke remains dep-governor and unless you have Judicial authorities please dont quote me

miqos02:
what happens to the Audu/faleke joint ticket?

Bello/Faleke

dustmalik:
I'm Ebira. I just don't support treachery.

What Treachery ??
that is how Anebira keep bringing themselves down
If anyone was treacherous remember Sen Hadi Seriki

APC Appeal Panel Calls For Cancellation Of Primary Election

Indications are rife that the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi state may produce two candidates for the upcoming November 21 governorship election in the state.

This is because the appeal panel set up by the national leadership of the party to review the primary election in the state, has called for the disqualification of the winner of the election, Prince Abubakar Audu, who is also the former governor of the state.

The panel indicted Audu on a variety of allegations, bothering on corruption and violation of the provisions of the constitution of the APC and the guidelines for the conduct of the primaries.

Recall that other APC aspirants in the primaries had challenged Audu’s victory, while the runners up at the election, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, had written a petition condemning the exercise.

Petitioner, Alhaji Yahaya Bello
Petitioner, Alhaji Yahaya Bello
Chaired by Dr Sam Sam Jaja, with Mr Ahmad El-Marzuq and Mr Tunde Imolehin serving as secretary and member respectively, the appeal panel in an 11-page report, called for the nullification of Audu’s election and asked the party to replace him with Alhaji Bello.

The panel made reference to the case o of Hope Uzodinma vs Senator Osita Izunaso, where the court insisted that ”a political party must obey its constitution”.

In his petition to the party, Bello had accused Audu of not resigning as a member of the BoT of the party before contesting in the primary, as stipulated in the constitution of the party in Article (I) iii which states that: “Any such party office holder or officer of the party who is interested in contesting for an elective position within or at a general election shall resign 30 days before the date of the nomination or party primary for that office he is contesting for.”

His argument is that “By virtue of his membership of the BoT pursuant to Article 14 (III) (e) of the 2014 Guidelines for the Nomination of Candidates for Public Office, such party officers are not allowed to vote as statutory delegates.”

According to a source close to the panel members, “Part of the findings of the report was that there was video evidence showing Audu casting his vote at the primary election. The appeal committee had already recommended that Audu be disqualified while the runner up in the primary election (Yahaya Bello) be presented to INEC as the APC gubernatorial candidate for the state 2015 governorship election.”

Some members of the party are already suggesting that the election should be shifted by a few weeks to allow the APC address the issues arising from the panel’s decision.

“In the event Audu is retained, Bello is not trusted to be willing to mobilise for him due to the loud cry for power shift by his people in Kogi Central. If Audu is substituted for Bello you, guess is as good as mine. That it has become clear to President Muhammadu Buhari and the party that the anti-corruption stance of the new government and its renewed commitment to rule of law will be jeopardized if it doesn’t do something about the candidacy of Audu.

“Yahaya Bello in his petition also raised the allegations of embezzlement of N11 billion and the court case involving the former governor instituted by the EFCC. Giving President Buhari’s staunch anti-corruption stance and APC change mantra of the APC, it is left to be seen if such a seminal report can be swept under the carpet,” a source told Thisday.

Remember Ohiare, Sanusi gamji and co
Despite entreaties Bello did not defect to SDP or Leave APC, he campaigned alongside Audu and ensured APC won his polling unit and ward losing the LGA by about 500 votes but Audu won Kogi central thanks to Bellos impact and Finance

meforyou1:
if you use taraba theory, it will be given to wada. Check it well

Bello contested

donphilopus:
Bros, that would be very hard. I dunno though but I guess the present Speaker of the State House of Assembly is an Egbira man. If he's from there, I don't think they can produce the Governor as well. BTW, I just saw a heady that another Primaries would be conducted by the APC, lemme go view the thread first.

the speaker is PDP and ebira ...
please it is Ebira not Egbira

Pecca:
are there really xtians in Kogi?...never heard of one. "if u believe me, u'll believe anything. xtians there just sidon de luuk...even late Audu mama na xtain!!

Am A christian........

dustmalik:
He claims that late Audu didn't resign as a member of APC board of trustees, yet he was allowed to contest for primaries. Though, that isn't right. But he shouldn't have resolved to anti-party activities. He even took the case to court

he didnt take the case to court https://www.naij.com/599462-kogi-polls-prince-abubakar-audu-may-lose-apc-ticket.html
stop lying

DropShot:
Was it not Yahays Bello that openly supported Wada because he lost to Audu? That's anti party act and should not be rewarded.

It was Sen Alex Kadiri not yahaya Bello
Apologies for mentioning hadi seriki

kestolove95:
Yahaya bello but his egbira, nd ebira can't rule kogi state, so let dem giv it to sanusi abubakar...to fill d vacuum left by prince audu abubakar

sanusi is ebira and its not egbira

dustmalik:
Yahaya Bello messed up big time. His kinsmen are very angry with him right now. He actually made it known that he was going to support Wada, and even made money available for that purpose

Which kinsman?? my people already planned to vote Wada because APC did not give its ticket to Bello But many softened thats why Audu won Adavi, Ogori, Okehi and lost Okene by about 500 votes
Stop lying against the good people of Ebira

CACAWA:
Fact i sthat no matter who APC wins, whether Igala supports or not, APC will already win,

because, the gap is already 41,000 votes, and out of the 49,000 people that can vote in the supplementary election, only 25,000 have PVCs.

I trust Tinubu to push for Faleke by all means

he cant push faleke because Faleke is not qualified

Abjpikin:
Who will APC field as their new Governorship candidate? Cuz d Igalas will not want a non Igala to become Governor....

Yahaya Bello that came second
