THE CONSTITUTIONAL IMPLICATION OF AUDU'S DEATH:
section 181(1) of the 1999 Constitution provides: "If a person duly elected as Governor dies before taking and subscribing the Oath of Allegiance and Oath of Office, or is unable for any reason whatsoever to be sworn in, the person elected with him as Deputy Governor shall be sworn in as Governor and he shall nominate a new Deputy Governor who shall be appointed by the Governor with the approval of a simple majority of the House of Assembly of the State". In this scenario, Audu has not been duly elected as Governor because the election result in Kogi State was declared inconclusive by INEC. The Constitutional questions that need answers are: 1. Will INEC go on to conduct the remaining elections between Late Audu of APC and other political parties? 2. Will there be need for another primary election to select APC candidate or Audu's Deputy will carry on as APC candidate to conclude the election? 3. Since Audu has not been duly elected and is no longer a contestant by virtue of his death, will INEC pronounce Wada as the Governor being candidate with the second highest votes cast (runner-up) at the election? Many questions begging for answers. My learned friends please help!
