APC should either choose Faleke or 4get Kogi state! Tinubu be wise!

TolstoyFan:
The All Progressives Congress (APC) running mate in the deadlocked governorship election in Kogi State, Mr. Abiodun Faleke has opposed the party’s choice of Alhaji Yahaya Bello as replacement for the late Prince Abubakar Audu. This disclosure was made known in a second letter written by Faleke yesterday to the party’s national chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun. According to Faleke, he is not prepared to give up his ‘mandate’ for any reason whatsoever.


Faleke in the four page letter written by his counsel, Chief Wole Olanipekun and entitled RE: JUST CONCLUDED GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION IN KOGI STATE -APC SHOULD NOT SIDETRACK JAMES ABIODUN FALEKE OR SUPER IMPOSE ON HIM ANY OTHER PERSON OR CANDIDATE, said:



“While reiterating and adopting the position of our client as highlighted, expressed and conveyed in our first letter, permit us, most humbly, but frankly to add the following points on behalf and instruction of our client, that is to say:

(i)The Issue involved is that of constitutional, formal and legal imperatives, rather than political expediency. In the eyes of the Constitution and the law, our client is the governor-elect of Kogi State. There is no gainsaying this fact. It is a truism that cannot be discounted.

(ii) It is the duty of the APC to champion the actualization of its mandate, as well as that of our client. In this wise, we most humbly advise and caution that the party should be minded of the Ides of November, because the idea being sold to the APC by the INEC to go and hold a supplementary primary election for the purpose of bringing forth a governorship candidate to contest a supplementary election in 91 polling units is saturated with deleterious legal and constitutional landmines. We posit without any hesitation that at this stage, INEC and all the political parties that took part in the concluded election have reached a point of no return. Thus our client can neither be jettisoned by the APC, nor can a new or fresh candidate be imposed on him as his Principal. The law also does not recognize this type of supplementary election in 91 polling units, with total number of eligible voters with PVCs not more than 25,000 or thereabout. Otherwise, if the law and Constitution allow it, Kogi State would end up holding a supplementary election, which would also produce a supplementary governor. Put bluntly, there cannot be any legitimate Governor of Kogi State who would emerge from the supplementary election (outside our client) with a maximum of 25,000 votes, assuming all the registered voters with PVCs cast their votes for the anticipatory supplementary governor will also be likened to a Governor of 91 polling units. May we quickly draw your attention to Section 179 (2) (b) of the 1999 Constitution which states:

“(2) A candidate of an election to the office of Governor of a state shall be deemed to have been duly elected where, there being two or more candidates-

(b) He has not less than one-quarter of all the votes cast in each of at least two-thirds of all the local government areas in the state.”

Continuing, he said: “It was the contention of PDP that the then Deputy Governor-elect, Boni Haruna automatically became and assumed the position of governor-elect. The PDP took the matter to court and, at the end of the legal pilgrimage, the Supreme Court agreed with the PDP. Then the Deputy Governor-elect, Boni Haruna, not only assumed position as Governor, but spent two terms in office. With very high respect, we do not expect the APC to do less.

“When the late Umaru Yar’Adua was terminally sick, some leading members of your party in coalition with some decent forces in the country, bandying the ‘doctrine of necessity’ championed the cause of the then Vice President, Goodluck Jonathan to be appointed President. At the end of it all, the National Assembly acceded to this clarion call and Vice President Goodluck Jonathan metamorphosed to acting President. Thereafter, he became substantive President for six years. The point being made by us is that if we could rely on the doctrine of necessity and maximally utilize same to make Vice President Goodluck Jonathan, the sitting President, it then goes without saying that both INEC and the APC must submit themselves to the doctrine of constitutional imperative and/or necessity to allow our client to be Governor -elect of Kogi State."

Wike tried painting Amaechi black but God stood up 4 Amaechi... Ya, Amaechi deserves all d GRACE of God he's enjoying 2day because, he truly did well 4 Rivers.

Amaechi’s confirmation: Wike has been put to shame – Rivers APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has described today’s confirmation of the immediate past Governor of the State, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, as a Minister by the Senate as a victory over the forces of darkness.

“These dark forces as represented by Caretaker Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, went to absurd lengths in their plot to stop Amaechi from becoming a Minister but Almighty God has used President Muhammadu Buhari and the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to scatter their evil plans,” Rivers APC said in the statement signed by the Chairman, Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya and issued Thursday in the State capital, Port Harcourt.

According to the party, “Today, 29th October, 2015, will remain a great milestone in the annals of Rivers State when against all odds, centering around the mischievous propaganda by enemies of the State led by the impostor Governor Nyesom Wike, the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria confirmed one of the best sons of Rivers State, Rt Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, as a Minister despite the sinister petitions against him by misguided enemies of Rivers State.

“Today, we have come to understand that truly God is with Amaechi and none of the plots by his enemies can have any impact in his life if the meanings of his names are anything to go by – Chibuike, which means ‘God is all Powerful’ and Rotimi, an abridged version of Oluwadurotimi, meaning ‘the Lord stands by me’, while Amaechi means ‘who knows tomorrow?’ plays a lot in most of the actions of this patriotic, an enigma, the Lion of Niger Delta Politics, the Pillar and embodiment of the change mantra in the politics of Nigeria and a true son of God.

“The Eighth Senate has by this action proved that they are not only patriotic and nationalist but also that they cannot allow petty politics to becloud their sense of reasoning as they seek to accomplish the onerous task of building a virile, vibrant, united and strong Nigeria.”

Rivers APC warmly commended President Buhari for nominating Amaechi and the Eighth Senate for confirming him, “thereby disappointing the very enemies of Rivers who by their devilish acts painted Rivers State and her people as ingrates who have no regard and respect for her leaders.”

The party pleaded with Nigerians not to judge Rivers people by the vindictive actions of Wike and his cohorts as Rivers State and her people are good-natured and great people.

Rivers APC thanked God that “Wike, who has done everything humanly possible to bring down Amaechi, who made him politically, has been put to shame along with his collaborators, especially Senator Thompson Sekibo.

“They should not only bury their faces in shame but should also apologise to Nigerians for their failed coup against their benefactor,” the party said.

It declared that Wike and his co-travelers have formally buried their political careers as they have proved that they are the greatest enemies of Rivers State and Nigeria as a whole.”

It said that “to show practical appreciation to God, the party has set in motion machinery for thanksgiving services to our great God for shaming the enemies of Rivers State and upholding his son at this critical time. In this regard, Muslims should use this Friday, 30th October, to worship in their mosques while Christians should embark upon thanksgiving this Sunday, 1st November, 2015. We must pray out the evil cabal currently ruining our State in the name of governance.”

May not be hygienic but necessary whn ur babe is around . Lol

Amaechi may hav Steped on peoples toes during his quest to retain power but dat doesn't mean we hate him NO! Goodluck & his wife Pepe pushed him to d wall thus, he sold out to d north. Technically, I think Wike is sound in politics by his early intrduction of GDI(Grassroot Development Initiative) he did not only win d PDP primaries wit dis body but also registered members of d group in INEC as officers.
Dis move, I believe aided all his rigging successs. Wike, is a don, rog & thug no doubt. D masses on d street never likes him rada, dey love Dakuku because of his gentle nature, inteligence & God fearing approach to d game so far. But its just unfortunate dat d Rivers people r being sentimental abt dis whole tin. Dia conclution now is if Amaechi could work against his Broda Goodluck from d southsouth den, dey wil vote against him & Dakuku. I guess dis is d reason Wike may triumph in Rivers... Not dat he truly deserves.
Amaechi, is 1 great man I can not forget. His tenure was gr8, he performed very well. I think I love his guts! In every, I think he won d battle even if he loss d state to PDP. He only xchange his state for federal, he's going higher while Jona & Prow r coming back to Otueke. Love u so much Amaechi! May God bless u more as u join d likes of Sai Buhari, Tinubu, Fashola to decide way happens in our gr8 country Nigeria.
God bless Nigeria!

quote author=atlwireles post=32643401]

People dislike Amaechi, the destruction he caused Rivers state for the past three years is beyond understanding. Peace has now returned to Rivers. Let Amaechi go and make his noise in Abuja. The shock of his life awaits him.[/quote]

I bow ooooooo! Is dis d democracy we r talking abt? No! Too bad for our country. Even a deaf & dumb, blind or infant knows Dakuku is better besides, he's d peoples choice. PDP & wike r forcing themselves on us. Dis isn't Democracy... No! Never!

otokx:
Cooked results, we in UNIPORT just voted an hour ago yet they have announced results for Obio/Akpor, so much for democracy, interested parties should go to court.

No election is taking place here in Obi Akpor LGA of Rivers State. We don't know wats happening. No INEC officials, No Ballot boxes.
News of gun shots all over d town.
Why can't Wike & his boys let our votes count... Guess, he's biting more than he can chew.

Nomata how hard Wike tries, Dakuku must win. Cos, he's d man of d masses, d 1 d cap fits... He's lov & democratic style is enof for us. We need no rog, thug or evil Mafia to lead us in Rivers. In Dakuku & Amaechi we TRUST!

God bless Rivers State!

I pray we all say all is well that ends well by the end of the year. Big respect to PST EA Adeboye.

mandarin:
If these are prophesies and prophets say pray and you prayed what do u think will happen? God is one and can't be saying different things, many speak out of cleverly crafted out analysis or emotion.
People have roles to play in bringing prophesies to pass as well and I think God is the God of all. The prophesy is whosoever will favor Nigerians will get elected and then we will revisit your post, I simply don't believe these as the Bible says" woe unto him that says thus sayeth the Lord when God has said nothing"

ellechrystal:
