Absolutely unconstitutional, but like I said earlier they must have smuggled in someone who will stand as the deputy which is still unconventional because we all know he did not contest the election with a deputy.
Very constitutional, Flake is d deputy to Yahaya Bello in dt supplementary election as recognized by inec and he (Flake) remains so until any changes.

Hahahaa... I don't think it's possible because his election is subject to observation by the constitution, remember there's already a litigation in the court and by all indication Faleke has a strong case @ hand
I hope the judiciary will follow due process and the rules of law else we will witness another wuruwuru judgement.

That shows that you are still in the dark as regard to this governorship saga in kogi. Now get it right, Faleke has long distanced himself with Yahaya by formally writing to both INEC and APC intimating them on his stance, remember Faleke is not a kid and he did all that through a learned lawyer. Finally before you start making conclusions remember that the court has the final say here.

the answer is "NO" the political problem of yahaya bello start today, without faleke because there is no supplementary election without a deputy governor candidate! The situation Is a lose lose situation for Apc as party and gives a wide opportunity for wada and pdp as a party.
I see! Let us wait and hear what APC will say about this wuruwuru arrangment. Maybe it is part of the chanji they promised.

There's no doubt about it because Faleke clearly made it known to all minds that he is not part of the supplementary election neither is he a deputy to Yahaya. Therefore, Yahaya can not claim to have won a whole state governor's seat through a supplementary election with 6000 total votes. He can't reap what he did not sow!!
Yep, Apc has done so many unconstitutional things in this case. It won't take the courts long to sack this guy

Flake is d 1 trying to reap where he did ntt Sow, Yahaya has sown by contesting primary election. Remember Amechi became gov without contesting d general election but only primary, go read electoral act and construction and ask question abt d importance of primary go election.

d letter he wrote to inec was not accepted. inec told him dt they deal with party n not individual, d party never send any name to inec b4 election for change of deputy cos it was late, change of name is done 30days to election. so flake is Bello's deputy till this moment by law

If no deputy, is this swearing constitutional?
In 1999 Bony Haruna was inaugurated as governor of Adamawa before he nominated Tukur Bello as deputy for confirmations by state house of assembly
. Because bony was originally the deputy of Atiku who after winning the governorship was elevated as vice president to Obasanjo

So no qualms! No constitutional lacuna in the swearing in
Re: Swearing In Of Yahaya Bello As Governor Of Kogi State - Live Updates by Fanirandele: 1:40pm On Jan 27, 2016
This inauguration is a big farce, Faleke no shaking jare. I see this Bello as Wike, in a few months the courts will bounce him smiley after doing anti party activities, he wants to reap where he didn't sow abi.

A party is an inanimate entity, so by law the flag bearer of the party holds the symbol of the party just as u can not have a party without a people, more so, as a citizen you have a right to belong and otherwise, so u can't force Faleke to be part of what he do not want.

That is to say that the party is @ lose here if not already lost, because if Faleke refuses to succumb to her decision automatically she has no deputy and by law a party fill the position of a deputy before the election not after swearing in. Its definitely going to be a serious case because it will be very hard to convince Faleke to accept that post. Let's wait and see..

You actually deduced that from your personal opinion.

Now check the electoral act and see what it says about a candidate to an election withdrawing from a contest.

you should know that:

1. Such withdrawal should be done at least 30 days to the election.

2. The party would have to communicate such withdrawal and replacement by a letter to INEC.

You can't pronounce judgement by a mere citation of a related case. Moreover, remember that Yahaya has long been forgotten @ the primary level where he lost to Audu and when Audu and Faleke were campaigning Yahaya was not in the picture, the people did not vote for Yahaya but Audu, Yahaya did not make campaign promises but Audu did and fact that Audu ran a joint ticket with Faleke he Faleke now becomes the recognised one in the absent of Audu both by law and the voters.

Master of the electoral act, now can you tell me what the act said about replacing a candidate after an election? What Yahaya is claiming now is Audu's/Faleke's mandate because a supplementary election is noting compared to the main election.

Both APC and INEC are suffering from constitutional blindness here, @ a point I begin to think that INEC is subject to APC's decision on this matter.

What APC did to Falake is not fair.He jointly got those votes together with the late Audu.Also they won the election conclusively before INEC declared the election inconclusive in order to scheme Falake out.

As u knw falake can't submit his name to inec for election, as it stands d party submitted his name as deputy to Yahaya B. N it remains so for now. If he fails to report report to duty, d gov will choose replacement

what a great God we have. tears of joy roll down my chicks, through the years of struggle for the position, we lost several great men of Ebira Land. today we have it just when we thought we had lost it all. God bless Nigeria, God bless Kogi State, God bless Ebira Land.
it is time for us to express the tru love of a mother which Ebira has for Kogi state.

With how many votes did Yahaya won the election? Yahaya's votes can not fetch him the governor's seat, people voted for the candidates not the party because party is not a human being. INEC and APC complicated the whole issue here, first INEC erred by declining a lost and won election inconclusive and asking APC to submit a replacement. APC in the other hand made an inappropriate decision by submitting the name of Yahaya that has long been forgotten @ the primary level and was not part of the whole campaign processes. In fact rumours has it that Yahaya worked against APC during the main election.

I will concur to your opinion because the way things are going on this days is as if every body is dancing to the tone of APC both the anti-graft agencies and judiciary, Faleke is also unfortunate to have lost endorsement @ the upper chamber of his party (APC) that can easily influence the decision of the court. Faleke will need a God fearing judges + miracles to win this case.
