I Stand out with you...I term this as having a carnal knowledge on the rule of law..A democratic rape and a political bipolar disorder ...

INEC and the AGF should wake up from the delusions..

If this rape on democracy going on in Kogi and orchestrated by INEC and the Attorney General of the Federation is allowed to stand, and the citizens accept it, then we have really entered a dark era.
If you don't speak out now, don't complain when it reaches your doorstep.
What section of the Constitution did INEC and the AGF rely on to arrive at the conclusion that APC can present a fresh candidate for the re-run elections and credit that candidate with Audu 's votes?
If una like, make una keep silent. Me I don talk my own. My conscience don free.[/quote]

I am not a political fan, let not be sentimental in presiding over key issues that will/might have a bizarre effect on our generation just because we need an instant appraisal of political dominion..

my Question is, what stopped the AGF And the INEC to organise a fresh election and allow the APC to feature their new candidate..?

If the APC Believes in their new candidate,propaganda and manifestos, I see no reason taunting a fresh Election to determine the political will an choice of the masses by conducting a fresh election rather than transferring the mandate of the dead to the living in the middle of an election.

Let the political franchise of th masses exercise to choose who they want to govern them an let see if they actually voted the party or the deceased candidate..

Let's not transfer an electoral blunder to our generation because of selfish and egocentric interest. Lets not make a caricature of the constitution of FRN..

A fresh free and fair election is obviously needed in Kogi state to avenge the existence of the rule of law.

The Peoples Democratic Party has demanded the resignation of the Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, and the Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, over the decision to allow the All Progressives Congress to replace its governorship candidate for Kogi State.

The AGF and INEC had in the afternoon given the APC the go ahead to pick a replacement for the late Abubakar Audu, who died on Sunday – a day after contesting in the governorship election.



INEC had also decided to hold supplementary election in the 91 units where election was cancelled on Saturday on December 5.

However, the PDP condemned and rejected the decision to allow the APC replace its candidate, arguing that the decision was unconstitutional and that INEC was biased.

The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Olisa Metuh, told journalist in Abuja that the party had asked Malami to vacate his office “for harrying and misleading the Independent National Electoral Commission into arriving at an unconstitutional decision to allow the APC to substitute its candidate in the inconclusive Kogi state governorship election.”

Metuh said the party was shocked that INEC could allow itself to succumb to the antics of the APC “by following the unlawful directive of an obviously partisan AGF to substitute a candidate in the middle of the ballot process.”

The PDP described the decision of INEC and the AGF as bizarre, saying, “We are all aware that the two legal documents guiding INEC in the conduct of elections; the Constitution and the Electoral Act, have provisions for electoral exigencies as well as empower the electoral body to fully take responsibility for any of its actions or inaction without undue interference from any quarters whatsoever.

“We are therefore at a loss as to which sections of these two relevant laws, INEC and the AGF relied on in arriving at their bizarre decision to substitute a dead candidate in an ongoing election even after the timelines for such has elapsed under all the rules.”

According to the PDP, the implication of the decision will be that the APC will be fielding two different governorship candidates in the election, meaning that INEC will be transferring votes cast for late Prince Abubakar Audu to another candidate.

This, it said, were “scenarios that have no place in the constitution of the land.”

It added, “Whereas the PDP, in honour of the sanctity of human life and respect for the dead, had since Sunday refrained from making comments on the conduct of the election, we can no longer maintain such in the face of the barefaced attack on our democracy.

“This INEC under the leadership of Prof. Mahmood Yakubu has shown itself as partisan, morally bankrupt and obviously incapable of conducting a credible election within our laws.

“In view of the foregoing therefore, the PDP demands an immediate resignation of the INEC chairman, as the nation’s democracy cannot afford to be left in the hands of an electoral umpire that cannot exert its independence.”

Please permit me to say your opinion that votes are been recorded or cast solely for political parties ,not the candidate is totally against my school thought..In as much as the votes counts for a political party same way it does for the flag bearer or the candidature of the political party.

Take for instance, a political party propagandas is not enough reason to win an election with out a censored or competent candidate with great zest of leadership, who the masses believes can lead them forward without any political blunder and ambiguity.

Thus presenting a social miscreant with proficient lack of integrity will never guarantee success to that party in spite of the rich and fertile propagandas of the party.

Hence the candidate or a flag bearer of a party has more role to play in the electoral system than the party itself.

DropShot:
Great decision. Votes were recorded for parties and not candidates. Beside, it's a joint ticket of a governorship candidate and his/her deputy. PDP will be disappointed but INEC gets this one right.

I just took a look at your profile...I ain't surprise at your post..please try to go for deliverance so u can see beyond your human reasoning...No hard feelings

Anti corruption search light should turn for once to the northern elite instead of the cajole on the minority of the south south...

I am in no means in support of corruption the fight against it should be free from political witch hunt..

the last time I checked,corruption started from the north but no single politician from the north has ever faced any reasonable prosecution..

People like IBB, Abacha crew and other numerous corrupt northern elites are busy living a flamboyant life..

Equity and the rule of law should cut across every facet of the government and regions..Stop the cajole on the SS and the sycophantic neo colonialism...

Let other soiled northern politicians be hacked to death same way as Diepreye and be tried same as Ibori.
