The constitutional brouhaha or imbroglio we have at hand is no doubt a curious one. Never in our history have we ever envisaged such to happen, but it has happened. Audu is gone in the midst of an inconclusive election.
Here though is the take of Festus Keyamo on the imbroglio and I know other legal luminaries will have different view on it.

PRESS STATEMENT ON THE REPORTED DEATH OF PRINCE ABUBAKAR AUDU AND THE LEGAL IMPLICATIONS.

The reported death today, Sunday, November 22nd, 2015, of the APC candidate in the Kogi State Governorship elections, Prince Abubakar Audu, is extremely shocking and sad. I would like to express my condolences to the entire family of Audu and to the people of Kogi State.

However, the real question agitating the minds of everybody is the legal implication regarding the inconclusive Governorship elections at the time of his demise. To state it correctly he was said to have died AFTER the announcement of the results by INEC and after INEC had declared the elections inconclusive. Admittedly, this is a strange and novel constitutional scenario. It has never happened in our constitutional history to the extent that when an election has been partially conducted (and not before or after the elections) a candidate dies. What then happens?

This is a hybrid situation between what happened in the case of Atiku Abubakar/Boni Haruna in 1999 and the provision of section 33 of the Electoral Act, 2010.

In the case of Atiku Abubakar/Boni Haruna [which is now a clear constitutional provision of section 181(1) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended)] the Supreme Court held, in effect, that “if a person duly elected as Governor dies before taking and subscribing the Oath of Allegiance and oath of office, or is unable for any reason whatsoever to be sworn in, the person elected with him as Deputy governor shall be sworn in as Governor and he shall nominate a new Deputy-Governor who shall be appointed by the Governor with the approval of a simple majority of the house of Assembly of the State”.

In the case of section 33 of the Electoral Act 2010 it provides, in effect, that if a person has been duly nominated as a candidate of his party and he dies before the election then the political party has the right to replace him with another candidate and not necessarily the Deputy Governorship candidate.

Now, does the Kogi situation fit into section 181(1) of the Constitution as quoted above or section 33 of the Electoral Act mentioned above?

My simple position is that the Kogi situation fits more into section 181(1) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and as such James Abiodun Faleke automatically becomes the governorship candidate of the APC. This is because even though the election in inconclusive, votes have been counted and allocated to Parties and candidates. As a result the joint ticket of Audu/Faleke has acquired some votes already. James Abiodun Faleke is as much entitled to those votes already counted as much as the late Abubakar Audu. He has a right to cling to those votes going into the supplementary election.

There is only one problem, though. Who nominates Faleke’s Deputy? Unlike section 181(1) of the 1999 Constitution, he cannot approach the House of Assembly of the State to approve a nomination by him of a Deputy. This is because, in reality, he is not duly elected yet. Therefore it is only reasonable to conclude that it is APC (Faleke’s political party) that should submit the name of a fresh Deputy Governorship candidate to INEC for the supplementary election.

This is the only position in this situation that accords with reason and good sense.

[size=38pt]May his soul rest in peace.


His heart bump too much blood because of the joy. Which is responsible for the blood coming from his mouth.

The valve of his heart most have given out causing the blood to flow to his month.

I will say. I believe from written what is said online, my conclusion is that he had previous history of heart high blood pressure , which was not treated.

He should have taken medication before the election.

Basically excessive bumping of blood by the heart was responsible for the blood coming out of his heart.and mouth

High blood pressure kills. And can cause brain damage and stroke.

He die of over joy

Sources said he was vomiting blood at some stage, but was stabilised by doctors around him.

However his condition worsened this morning, culminating in a massive stroke.

His opponent at the polls, Idris Wada who is incumbent governor of the state has declared
seven days mourning for the late Audu.

Its a sad news. This is what happen when the elderly ones refuses to give youths the chance in governance, politicians are always funny. At that age with his health condition, he should'nt be stressing himself. I see ppl trying to amend the electoral act in order to suit their interest.

godoluwa:
muslims wit their funny rites, let them conduct autopsy on Audu corpse b4 dem go bury am
Ofcourse you are even funnier by not using God in your moniker as you use god instead to show respect to the IMMORTAL BEING. By the way, would an autopsy ever bring him back to life if conducted? If it were to be conducted and His death is proven to be through poisoning, from who would that have been? Or where you expecting him to dine and whine with the opposition camp during the electioneering period? Or would his Wifes and family be jealous of him becoming Governor , hence the poisoning? MKO Abiola of blessed memory, of what use is the result of the autopsy conducted on his corpse till date? Didn't that amount to waste of resources? Don't you know that it's this kind of comments that breeds fundamentalism because it amount to an insult on every muslim irrespective of age, status or gender? going by the use of the plural 'muslims'? Brother may GOD ALMIGHTY FORGIVE YOU because I know that christianity also acknowledge that 'THE LORD GIVETH AND THE LORD TAKETH' meaning GOD doesn't consult anyone before giving and before he takes

This makes a lot of sense. I concur. They can't cancel d elections and start again. If they do, apc will demand for more time for campaigns, which will make d incumbent overstay as governor, which is a constitutional issue.

The constitution section 181 is more applicable here Dn d electoral act. Constitution deals wt "upon completion of elections", the electoral act deals wt "before d elections". Well in this situation d election was 80% completed so it tips d scale to d 181 side.
