The Danger Of Allowing APC Nominate Another Candidate by futureniyi(op): 8:59am On Nov 27, 2015
Without further deliberations on the matter, I will get to my point.

There's looming danger in allowing APC select another candidate to inherit the votes of Audu.

Amongst other things this means INEC has granted APC the power of the people - the power to select a governor.

This is contradictory to the principles of democracy & it will create a loophole that could lead to increase in political assainations

For instance, A party can bring forward a candidate the electorate love, assassinate him before election results are declared & impose a tyrant as governor.

I am not a lawyer but I believe the best solution for democracy is to conduct another fresh election.

This solution might not favor APC, but it's the best democratic solution; as it allows people to once again vote for the best available candidate.

You mean GEJ killed his principal shey? Agony of a looser
. For your information, the office of Deputy was created to cater for emergencies like this: any contestant does not only has every right to protect himself, but to also try as much as he can to get a confidant he believes in.

Get it right.
