I am Kogi State Governor-elect.

.......James Faleke


The running mate to late Abubakar Audu, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Saturday’s governorship election in Kogi State, has asked the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to declare him governor elect.

James Faleke, in a November 26 letter to INEC Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, insisted that under Section 187 of the 1999 Constitution, he was duly elected as deputy governor of Kogi State.

While expressing sadness over the demise of his principal, Abubakar Audu, the deputy governorship candidate said INEC had no right under the law to declare the election inconclusive.
He accused INEC of deliberately creating what he called “legal conundrum” and urged the APC not to be a party to the action.

“In law and logic, no new candidate can inherit or be a beneficiary of the votes already cast, counted and declared by INEC before that candidate was nominated and purportedly sponsored,” Mr. Faleke wrote through his counsel, Wole Olanipekun.

“Assuming without conceding that INEC is even right to order a supplementary election, the votes already cast, counted and declared on Saturday, 25th November 2015, were votes for the t constitutional ticket of Prince Abubakar Audu and our client.

“Therefore, no new or ‘supplementary’ candidate can hijack, aggregate, appropriate or inherit the said votes.”

In another letter to APC Chairman, John Oyegun, Mr. Faleke urged his party to distance itself from the “Greek Gift” being offered to it to nominate a new candidate for a planned supplementary election in 91 polling units.

He said the election had already being won and lost, and that the party should rather him in actualizing the mandate already given to APC and its candidates.

Good to see that Hon. Faleke has decided to fight for what rightfully belongs to him. Any attempt to bring in another candidate at this point in time will not only be illegal, but unjust and immoral. We must learn to do things right all the time no matter the situation or circumstance. APC leadership better be properly guided.

I said it that their will be lots of litigations on this issue and at the end of the day both the APC planned primary and the scheduled DEC 5 supplementary election may not hold.



Wada is already in court

Yahaya bello is in court

Faleke is in court


Audu's son will soon be in court


PDP will go to court

APC will go to court


Every living soul in Kogi will go to court on this matter.

let thr be fight in the devil's camp, amen.

Hahahaha!!!


Game of throne!!!


Season............



APC=dubious party!!!

the AGF goofed on this issue, he should have requested for a judicial interpretation from Supreme court, this would have prevented series of litigation that will cost the nation more.

IbokUtoroh:
let thr be fight in the devil's camp, amen.

It is not a fight. It's about asking for what is legally his.

The death of Audu the Apc candidate exposes a huge lacuna in our Constitution

You begin to wonder how the Court would interpret the law when they themselve (court) would fall back on the constitution for guidance.

Oloshi...na so governor dey come cheap? I go write INEC too. I'm the governor elect.

Fuji APC house of commotion

Welcome to kogis state

Do you care to loose that tummy fat, click my profile

Good! Even Metuh will fight for himself if he is in the same shoe

But to be candid, I think he is the rightful owner of the mandate after the death of Audu. Whether elected or electing, the position of Deputy is constitutionally reserved whether at Federal, State or Local government level to cater for emergency like this.

Out of 3 boys that are running relay-race when representing their school, 2 fainted: whether the fainted ones survive the predicament or not, the fact is that the living one would collect the benefit/gift given to the school(APC) they represented .

Therefore, APC should not practice ojoro oooooo cos it may backfire.

Yeah! He Should Be!

This isn't common sense. I hope they don't kill him off.

I am from Kogi State and I happen to be an Igala man. I don't see anything wrong with Faleke becoming the Governor of Lagos state. They should better give him what he owns and stop this ridiculously planned tactics to sideline him.

The closest association I want with Politics is me fvcking A Politician's daughter or Wife or a Sugar mummy. Its too risky

With this his attitude one wld tink he has a hand in d death of Audu. Anyway I knw there wld be plenty court case in this kogi state stuff. Iheard Audu is a bad man.
My take on this is that the best person shd occupy that seat.

Let the game begin

End time ......

Faleke, I'm begging you to stick with deputy governor's post.
.

The witches & wizards that visited Audu are still very much around.

It's better to be a living Deputy than being a dead Governor elect

Na wa

I jus hope say dem nor go bluetooth ,kill dem themselves finish

Niqqa pls.....


This Tinubu stooge should go and rest abeg!!!

it seems kogi just dont want a yoruba governor.

Yes, Hon James Faleke, you are the Incoming Governor of Kogi state whether any cabal like it or not. The law is behind you! But DON'T fail your people..

Issues!!

right thing to do!
Are Okun Yorubas not bonafide Indegenes of Kogi State ??
What qualifies an Igala man to rule in Kogi also qualifies an Okun(Yoruba) man, and an Ebira man ! with this attitude in this country of some ethnicity feeling arrogantly superior and showing lack of acceptance nor recognition of other indigenes , I laugh at the believe that we are standing United as a country!

Is he sick?

[size=30pt]END TIME POLITICIAN[/size]

APC should have gone to the Supreme court for interpretation.... They are just living room for litigation.

agreed

lildrop:
End time ......

If they work another Audu in ... The case will be like father...like son.

looool

When you think you’ve heard it all more twist keeps coming up.

If care is not taken this could destroy Kogi APC

The death of AUDU is the End of APC
