Ordinarily, this matter should not generate so much controversy as it it currently generating if politicians are ready to do the right thing irrespective of personal interest. Audu and Faleke contested jointly and won the election. After Audu's death, it's only normal for Faleke to step up and take over the mandate.

Bringing in Yahaya Bello after over 90% of the election had been concluded and won is very pointless. It can never withstand any legal scrutiny. APC should do the right thing and stop courting trouble.

Wrong analysis there. A deputy never participated in primaries thereby making him ineligible to stand in the run off. Had the election been conclusive then Faleke would have simply mounted the saddle. PDP will oust Faleke legally based on the Taraba case.

Oga, I think u have to call for igala state before dis thing u are saying can work...because d kogi state I knw isn't for igala alone...I'm presently in idah now...from the look of things, since ur pple have been ruling d state has there been any tangible development that a state can be proud of?....just suffering and smiling all in d name of tribalism

What is wrong with tinubu? He is bitting more than he can choose .igalla people are not yorubas


That's what his brain isn't processing

Let's watch how this will work

That's the major reason Audu was killed

adaweezy:

Has the elections been concluded
Yes or NO

yes. alll that is left is counting. even late audu voted.

dats wat he wanted all the way

dunkem21:


Simply put, INEC is clueless and the APC brainless

GBAM

Before nko? I don't expect him to insist on the late Audu's son.

I can sense the truth that tinubu killed Prince in order to put his loyalist. he's a threat to democracy and nation, landlord of Yorubaland.

God bless you man, you are intelligent, dont maind that igala fool.

Slimteiz:

Who made Kogi State an Igala land? Can Igala people produce governor unanimously without the the other tribes? When the Ebiras and Okuns are agitating for Kogi State the Igalas were agitating for Okura state. The Igalas are merely accepted to Kogi State as neighbours and because of lack of unity among the Ebiras it self made them to continue ruling and you are here saying the state is Igala land. Check out the primary election results, 2nd, 3rd and 4th were Ebiras. Combine them together and tell me if the late Abubakar will be able to smell victory if the Ebiras had combined their vote for one person as the Igalas does. Rubbish. Igala People who were called agatu (labourers) in the then Benue state before kogi was created now have mouth to say rubbish because of disunity among other tribes.

ShowYourCertificate:
APC won't last as a party. They are just a conglomeration of different politicians with different vested interests.

I wouldn't blame anyone who believes Tinubu was behind the grand scheme of making Faleke a deputy governor so that he will emerge as governor after killing Audu. If Buhari is not a dullard, he should be watching his back as well because Osinbajo must have been planted there for a reason. Tinubu has an agenda which is obviously different from those of Buhari or Kwakwanso or Rochas. They are not united as a party and thus will crumble.

YOUR LEVEL OF REASON IS VERY LOW I DOUBT YOU GET BRAIN AT ALL

Na only igala go vote? What about other tribes?

Gelengelen:
igala people will vote for wada of pdp. they wont allow bello to rule them.

igala people will vote for wada of pdp. they wont allow bello to rule them.

can you see that it's already late

anyone the party choose (APC)is the governor
so weda the igalas vote for wada or not, it won't mater

I can sense the truth that tinubu killed Prince in order to put his loyalist. he's a threat to democracy and nation, landlord of Yorubaland.

ok

Whether Tinubu is the one that killed Audu or not, the point is that it's unreasonable to transfer the votes of a joint ticket to a third party, especially when the person in question is reputed to have worked and is working against APC and Audu ticket in Kogi state

If APC does not field any candidate then Wada wins. If APC fields Fairplus, then those street urchins called Area boys will have no option than to keep shut.
They want to spoil the name of Igalas. How can people say the Igalas are fighting the choice of Yahaya Bello? Just because some few jobless boys blocked road and burnt tyres? It's like saying Yoruba are fighting when some area boys fight at Oshodi.

Coming from the royal clan of Igala, I can say with precision that Igalas do not care whether it is Bello or Faleke. Why those boys are pained about Bello is that he fought against Audu's victory. If not we all know both of them have something to prove. A governor that has something to prove will surely perform better than that sees the position as his right. Ask Ngige and Fashola and the current Abia Gov

ok

adaweezy:

Has the elections been concluded

You really need to understand the Taraba case before referring to it. PDP have no valid candidate in that election. They never participated at all in the election. And please note, winning a primary does not make an aspirant a valid candidate before the law, he must also choose a running mate and both of them must be presented to INEC within a stipulated period before their candidacy can be valid before the law.

As regards Kogi, the issue of having a valid primary before the law is to determine the candidate. In this case, Audu is the candidate and that is not in dispute. The law also provides for the candidate to choose his own deputy who will contest jointly with him. Without the deputy, his candidature is invalid irrespective of whether he wins the primary or not. So therefore, whoever he so chooses as his deputy is assumed to have jointly emerged from the primaries with him and will automatically step into his shoes when situations like this arises.


That Yahaya Bello participated in the primaries as no legal significance since he was not the winner. Faleke was validly nominated and he should legally step up and inherit the mandate since the election process as commenced already.

I hate that name Tinubu but I love Jagaban

Pls stop imposing candidate on the masses or else

stinggy:

It's a concluded election already bro. Only 25k can vote and will never upturn a 41k deficit, unless if 6 is greater than 9
Even a non-indigene of the state, if fielded will win.



Wash
You need to read how Kogi was formed

My brother 49k can vote. Get ur info right b4 coming here.

adaweezy:
Tinubu cant impose his will
Yahaya Bello is our candidate

It's not about Tinubu, it's about doing the right thing.

By the virtue of being the running mate of Audu, the prerequisite of participating in primaries does not count. The constitution has mandated the person who won the primaries to nominate a running mate.

There is a reason the constitution mandated the person to nominate a running mate before his candidacy can be deemed to be valid. A running mate is a spare per adventure anything happens to the principal.

The Taraba case you are citing as an example is still before the Appeal Court and may even go to the supreme court for judicial pronouncement, so you cant use that as a justification just yet. Moreover, you are not looking at the core details of that judgment, but just picking the peripheral.

One thing you supporters of the 1st runner up in the primaries fail to realize is the constitutional provision I stated above which will be very difficult for the Bello guy to meet.

According to the 1999 constitution as amended, the candidacy of a party flagbearer to contest can ONLY be valid if the person nominates a running mate.

There is no way the guy can nominate another person for that position, his hands are already tied by circumstances.

Although, he may later claim in court that he nominated Faleke after he was pushed forward by the party, but that will be too cosmetic and cannot stand any legal scrutiny as Faleke was already constitutionally nominated by Audu and his nomination to contest as Deputy Governor still subsists and as such, another individual cannot claim he nominated HE whose nomination is still standing and very much valid!

because tinubu know that faleke go dey deliver to him directly

I always know Tinubu cannot leave Faleke to fight this injustice alone. He will surely help him in court. Faleke has a good case!!!
