Faleke formally wrote to INEC to withdraw his deputy Governorship candidate to Bello!! As far as the law is concerned Bello had no deputy

And INEC told him to write tru his party that, only d party has d right to remove and replace a candidate and not d individual. the law recognises Him (Faleke) as the deputy, cos he has not been withdrawn by his party, probably because he hasn't written tru his party

Koolmexxi:
From what I hear PDP may end up winning at the tribunal. Don't know if the APC eventually decided on a running mate for the Bello guy. Apart from involving in anti party activities simply becos he lost out to Audu at the primaries, he even didn't cast a ballot during the main election. His case is dat of monkey work, baboon com chop.

Bros, u can lie o. You guys are just making cheap propoganda.......There hasn't been any proof he did all u said above. why do u chose to believe in lies. Only a valid evidence would make me believe.

cktheluckyman:
Oga who is your deputy in today"s supplementary poll? This would be a very easy case to decide at the courts.Better start preparing for another election in few months to come

Mumu dey smell, u think they are dat dumb?, INEC recognises faleke as his deputy so far. he (FALEKE) wrote letter to INEC directly that he is no running mate to Bello, INEC told him that only the party has d right to inform them of such that he should write through the party which he belongs buh he hasn't done dat till now.

Eruditor:
Wrong. The court only said they had no jurisdiction to instruct INEC on what to do. Only the tribunal, Appeal court and Supreme Court can, following the proceedings.

1. Even though your point 1 is plausible and fair it is inappropriate for the time because the doctrine of necessity should have been implemented instead of wasting tax-payer's money to conduct UNNECESSARY supplementary elections.

2. Absolutely flawed. GEJ didn't participate in primary elections in 2007 but was sworn in as the president. Audu being alive or dead right now is immaterial. What role would he have played leading to the supplementary elections? INEC should have gone on to conduct the supplementary elections as though Audu was still alive and then declared him the governor whilst Faleke is sworn in.

3. In Kogi a winner should have emerged. Audu met all the conditions as stipulated by the constitution and electoral act. INEC should have declared him the elected Governor whilst disagreeing factions should have gone to the Tribunal to challenge it (which they would have failed).

INEC caused this mess.

Thank you.

this ur teeth wey join like dis, how we wan take separate am.

jamace:
Running mate, deputy, assistant, vice are one and same, it is a matter of jargon.

I give up

jamace:
I laugh at highlighted. So you don't know that running mate is same as deputy? Wow!

A running mate becomes a deputy only after elections are concluded and they emerge winner. So even if he loses he becomes the deputy?? think na

jamace:
A running mate is a deputy and with the demise of the principal, the deputy steps into his shoes as principal.
Faleke for governor!

yeye dey smell, so running mate automatically becomes deputy even without the election being concluded?
Use ur head na

OK

Sant1m:
A lot of school boys view on Nairaland is affecting my interest.these days Why do we always attribute conspiracy once we do not like a decision?. (I just tire), must APC take a decision that is against the electoral act, just to satisfy Falake. The courts have established in various cases, that for any one to be declared Gov he must have gone through primaries. Falake did not go through APC or PDP or KOWA primaries, unfortunately since Audu was not declared outright as winner by Inec, Falake cannot be sworn in. Now, the argument that the vote margin of 41000 is more than 25000 or so pvc in the cancelled polling units, hence Falake should ve been declared winner though sweet to the ear, cannot be the right and legal thing to do.
Our electoral Act does not recognise PVC or the number of voters with PVC, what it does recognise is THE NUMBER OF REGISTERED VOTERS in the cancelled polling units, which in this instance is 49000, more than the 41000 vote margin. Falake i believe is aware of this legal limitations, hence should know better.
I don't like Bello, i don't know him, i don't like the idea he will reap from where he did not sow viz the accusation he played anti party. But one thing is sure in both the Bible and Quoran, it is GOD that gives power, he may ve decided to favour Bello by ticking for him the whole legal reasons, Falake won't win this case in court, in the court of public opinion and sentiment yes! He will win, unfortunate our courts will rely on the constitution, Electoral Act and decided cases to draw up their decision. Falake should rein in his supporters, probably nominate his proffered deputy to Bello, become a top party stalwart in Kogi, in 2019 go to the senate, allow Bello run his two terms, who knows with the support of stake holders it may be his turn in 2023 in a new power rotation agreement. Just my take, i am not from kogi

GBAM......MOST COMPREHENSIVE COMMENT I HAVE SEEN SINCE THE KOGI ISSUE STARTED. SENTIMENTS WILL NOT ALLOW THEM TO UNDERSTAND AND SEE FROM THIS UNBIASED POINT. THEY HAVE MONEY AND THEY WANT TO FEED THE LAWYERS THIS YULETIDE SEASON.
YOU POURED OUT MY THOUGHT ON THIS ISSUE.

babyfaceafrica:
nice one...but please why cant APC challenge inec decision....?..or is there something we don't know

THERE WILL BE A COURT HEARING TOMORROW, IT IS SAID THAT ALL WILL BE CLEARED BY THE LAW TOMORROW, WE FOLD OUR ARMS AND SEE WHAT THE LAW HAS FOR US. THIS DEVELOPMENT IS BASED ON THE FALEKE'S PLEA TO THE COURT TO MAKE HIM THE WINNER OF THE ELECTION. REGARDING APC DRAGGING INEC TO COURT, THERE IS NO TIME FOR THAT AS THEY ARE ALREADY ON THE VERGE OF VICTORY, ALL THEY NEED IS PLAY BY THE RULE OR THEY LOSE OUT.

frisky2good:
Is APC trying to tell us that Faleke (as much as I don't like him) did not contribute to Audu's votes? This is broad daylight robbery. A running mate in an election also has his own loyalists and in this case I'm sure Faleke contributed more than 50,000 votes which if added to PDPs votes would have changed the outcome of that election.

BROS U DONT UNDERSTAND, THIS IS ALL THE FAULT OF INEC AND NOT APC, INEC MADE A DECISION AND APC IS MAKING SURE THEY FOLLOW THE RULE OR THEY LOSE OUT. HENCE THE INTRODUCTION OF YAHAYA BELLO. PEOPLE MAY NOT LIKE HIM BUT HE IS THE SAFEST OPTION APC CAN GO WITH UNLESS INEC CHANGES ITS MIND ABOUT THE DECISION FIRST MADE.

sunnyking001:
Yahaya bello can't be kogi governor dat is what I know,he work against Audu and faleke, all the effort of faleke can't be in vain if his running mate is no more. Many of us travel from long distance country to our state to vote and we did not do that for bello but for Audu and faleke.

CRY ME A RIVER......AS IF HE VOTED

ok o

Hope He is not planning to impose Faleke on Them this time around.......Stewpeed politiefshian

MyMouth:
Is it a lie? Did he win his LG? And those guys talking actually won there LG or contributed one way or the other to the victory of the party. What did yahaya do? He was busy sponsoring PDP!

Yahaya Bello is a wise man.......silence is the best answer in this situation.....the more u talk the more u put urself in trouble.....it is still not yet clear to the Igalas/Faleke that it is God at work. Suddenly Faleke and Audu's son are now on dsame page. SMH, THE IGALAS HAVE SUDDENLY DECIDED TO BECOME SECOND TO SOMEONE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE STATE, SOMEONE WHOM THEY ACCUSED OF KILLING AUDU. Listening to Mumu Igalas by "The wicked".

Ballmer:
But Yahaya that worked against the man that almost won the election no never assisted in securing a single vote can take advantage of the dead man ba ? What happened to your brain ?

what is ur proof dat he worked against his party?

picx, videos and audios or i don't believe u...

so shameful u fell for this cheap propoganda.

danny56:
I am not an Okun nor ebira guy...but any bias comment supporting Bello at this point will be most likely an ebira fellow. This seat belongs to Mr. Faleke with all due respect to anyone...election has been won with or without supplementary election with every records on ground. This is a conspiracy between the APC and INEC.

Tell dat to INEC

gebest:
bros u ar wrong amaechi won d primary, falake is a deputy and did not contest at all in d primary. u kn go school at all?

faleke is not even a deputy, he was a running mate

opalu:
After 4 years, you will note who e pain

E pain am

Tunami:
i think this is cheating to james faleke, after toiling hard with audu to win votes in kogi then another man from behind will and enjoy where he didnt sow. Anyway am not supporting anybody because all of them ar the same polithiefcians.

APC is not fighting for "me" they are fighting for "we" in this case.........if u like do monkey style during campaign, You are on your own if ur nomination will make their party a loser.

E pain dem........

Igalas,

Tiefnibu,

Faleke,

Audu Mohammed,

All the bad belles,

Greedy people.........

If you u are greedy and you are reading this.......E pain you too.

.

Anoneism:
Yahaya Bello has been scammed! He should watch it because I suspect coup from Faleke's camp.
My perception is that, While Yahaya Bello is there to defeat PDP in court in terms of legal justification, Faleke would just step in to snatch it from Yahaya Bello thereafter.

If faleke cannot defeat fairplus now, he can never defeat him in court, for him to do dat, he has to defeat INEC first.

E pain dem........

Commission confirms receipt of party’s
communication
The Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) has confirmed receiving a
request by the All Progressives Congress
(APC) to replace the late Abubakar Audu’s
name with that of Alhaji Yahaya Bello for the
supplementary governorship election in Kogi
State.
The confirmation by INEC showed that the
APC has settled for Bello as late Audu’s
replacement in Saturday’s supplementary
election in Kogi.
The receipt of the request was confirmed by
INEC’s Deputy Director in charge of Publicity,
Mr. Nick Dazang.
He said, “They have sent the name of their
replacement candidate, the second runner-
up in their primaries, that is Yahaya Bello, to
the commission.”
He, however, failed to disclose when the
request was made.
Dazang assured the people of Kogi that the
commission was fully prepared to conduct the
Kogi supplementary and Bayelsa governorship
elections on Saturday.
He added, “The commission is committed to
conduct the two elections, that is why in
respect of kogi, despite what happened, we
came out with public notice inviting the APC
to submit its replacement candidate for the
election.”

Okay..... I think if true, it would have been part of their consideration.

Serious Issue

modath:
Yahaya Bello is a lucky guy, reaping fruits without planting seeds.. If indeed the allegations that he worked against his party's interests are true..

Heard he left the buses he used for his primaries for the party's campaign
