Kogi election: Faleke’s supporters to sue INEC& APC

Supporters of James Faleke, deputy governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in the Kogi election, have decided to sue the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for declaring last Saturday’s election inconclusive.

The group at a briefing in Lokoja, wondered why INEC declared inconclusive, an election that had produced a clear winner.

Messrs Achama Matthew and Mohammed Abdulahi, in a communique they signed on behalf of the group, also said the fresh primaries being proposed by the APC to replace late Prince Abubakar Audu, was unnecessary.


According to them, only 32,785 of the 49,953 registered voters in the area where INEC scheduled to hold the December 5 supplementary election had the Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).

“INEC should be courageous to declare Audu/Faleke as the winner of the election. With 240,867 votes, Audu was leading his closest rival and incumbent Governor Idris Wada of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), with 41,353 votes, having polled 199,514 votes,” they said.[/b]

Faleke's supporters or faleke personaly.. It is well

modath:
Welcome development......

The law should not be turned over his head to favour some people!! Minority ko!!!


Tonyebarcanista ;seems Faleke is about to take his destiny into his hands..

maupe:
He is evidently wasting his time. APC will pick Yahaye Bello, and that will be the final decision. He should forget about profiting of the death of Audu and instead hope he enters the government house as the deputy governor.

you people take this barcanista character seriously. At the end of the day, a fresh election will be conducted in Kogi, which is the only lawful thing to do.

donphilopus:


A fresh Election can never be conducted in Kogi State. Do you expect the INEC to conduct a fresh Election if the Candidate of PPA who has managed to secure 20,000 votes of the 35m accredited voters, dies after the Presidential Election is declared inconclusive? Hadn't been it was a Candidate of a small Party that died and Wada was leading, would you have said a fresh Election should be conducted?

FreeGlobe:

stupid analogy. The election was declared inconclusive. Either a fresh election is conducted with APC fielding a different candidate or it will amount to APC not having a candidate for the election. Either of These 2 options must play out. Modath should think everything is about yoruba interest. I dey laugh.

Xetima:
With Audu dead, the votes to him are automatically annulled or votes for the dead. This was the same way Abiola's June 12 was annulled. With his death, neither Kingibe nor SDP was declared. Wada should immediately seek an interlocutory injuction barring INEC from conducting the supplementary elections, rather Wada should be declared winner as APC has NO CANDIDATE to conclude the elections. Moreover, the Taraba tribunal ruling comes to play here.

teeboila:
But if INEC knows that the number of PVC distributed in the cancelled polling units is less than 41k why did they refuse to announce APC winner of the election.




This INEC has become more of the more you look the less you see.

FreeGlobe:

exactly my thoughts. So far a winner was not announced. That means the election is still in process and the period for substituting candidates according to INEC law has elapsed. Recall the supreme Court ruling of Amaechi vs Omehia. The Supreme Court ruled against substituting candidates. So the most logical thing to do is to either declare Wada as governor elect since APC has NO candidate or fix a new date for a fresh election
