that is too bad 4 development of dis country when opposition party refused to accept result, how can u win a state where u are having only one member of house of assembly.

i do not trust pdp to win any election without rigging as far as nigeria is concerned.

Same oponu GEJ that rigged his way into presidency was congratulating PDP for their job well done at electoral rigging 101 in Kogi.

Why congratulate this particular victory.

Backward state! All they know is how to bury their loved ones alone roadside  , as for the election, Wada a certified madman is declared winner  , Audu is certified theif is crying wolf  

Not surprised!

There are just two unconquered territories in Nigeria, Yoruba and Hausa/Fulani lands. All others will always be ruled by whatever party/person rules the center. Trying to rule Nigeria by working with these minorities is futile. So much for middlebelt.

scientific HIAN!

Dino Melaiye,Tinubu and co are just a bunch of clowns. How could you lose in 18 of 21 local govts and then allege"scientific rigging"?

Nigerians are rejecting the PDP but gullibly rooting for an ACN that is dominated by the same people who made the PDP what it is today.

This has gone a long way to show that the ACN cannot win elections save for states where there's division in the PDP. I can't wait to see how they'll induce their medieval courts to upturn this one

The ACN are riding on the back of Fashola's stellar performance and all that shall come to an end at the expiration of his tenure and then the regional party would forever become defunct,

Lwkmd! did they feed a virus into the system? Very soon they'll say its spiritual. Nigeria will always be nigeria

What is really happening in Nigeria? somebody has been defeated but can't accept the defeat but rather result to voilence. what is scientific rigging again?

Why is ACN feel so pompous in all ramification

These people are clowns. When they win it's victory for democracy but when they loose it's scientific rigging. Bad loosers ni awon ACN yi.

Why is ACN such a bad loser? Like the Liberian presidential contestant- Tubman.
ACN did not kick when they won in INEC organised elections in Lagos, Ondo, Osun, Ekiti, Oyo, Edo etc! They did not kick when Tinubu and Fashola led LASIEC to allot them all the LG seats in Lagos despite the Badagry Returning Offcier declaring PDP winner in the You Tube video:

When will ACN be MATURE enough to congratulate the winner when their party has lost

Abubakar Audu is such bad news that even his estranged wife contested against him! The ACN should accept defeat and move on!

How can ACN make Dino their spokesperson. Shame

Can someone please do the maths:

PDP at the Federal level with INEC organised elections nationwide and "allowed" other parties win how many seats in NASS and state assemblies as well as president and governor?
ACN at Lagos state level with LASIEC organised elections and "allowed" other parties win how many LG seats and chairmen?

Na who dey do scientific rigging- thief wey dey call another person thief!!!

any one who calls audu bad market is probably not a kogite, and if he is may be a bastard. compare him and ibro and judge for yourself. moreover, even wada knows that he didn't win.

PRINCE AUDU [b]suffered the kogites expecially teachers,owing some 2yrs areas,sack massively,refuse to pay pensions,he borrowed billions to buy houses in london and uk, for daily times to dare publish it,he attack them,he run the state into large debt that IDRIS after paying areas and salaries could not afford infrastructure,but then idris pay salaries to workers,and he was paid back by voting his in-law wada,even 2015 if he wants a re-election and the main opponent is AUDU,I BET KOGITES WILL NOT VOTE TYRANT AUDU,let him brought out those stolen money.in his regime then,he is described as the 1st and 2nd executive governor of kogi state,he irritated the hearing of kogites if you care to listen to the radio fm 94.0 as praise singing of Audu continues on the radio,no advice or constructive critism must be aired,every thing he does is perfect is the Audu's gov'nt concept.kogites endured this humiliation until GOV IDRIS defeated Audu 8 yrs ago,audu lost his appeal, a re run of election also saw audu defeated again,he joined the ACN but could not hide his identity HE LOST GALANTLY 18 out of 21 lgs, people of kogi loved to hate Audu,its a payback time,let him still come out again,he will still reject him in future anytime he contest,[/b]

scientific rigging indeed,

Im not for any candidate but i voted ACN for change. I also obersved the election all through. Gallantly, ACN WAS VOTED IN ALL THE VOTING CENTRES. PDP is however the winner. People are helpless in this state.

Unubi:

. . .ACN WAS VOTED IN ALL THE VOTING CENTRES. PDP is however the winner. People are helpless in this state.

So you were physically present in all the polling centers in Kogi to know how people voted? Nonsense. . .people come to NL to lie alot.

Amidst the various claims by the ACN, a former governorship aspirant on the platform of the party, Mr George Olusola Olumoroti said that PDP won and that ACN lost to the rigid authoritarian in the party’s national leadership, noting that at the apex of the leadership, there is a lack of internal democracy.

According to him, “the coming of Audu into ACN in July was welcomed with mixed feelings. The apprehension was that Audu was never a democrat so what is he doing in ACN. As soon as he joined the ACN every party member realised that he was in the party to pursue his selfish aim of getting to the Lugard House having realised that ACN had a better structure than the All Nigerian Peoples Party (ANPP), which he nurtured and used in previous elections. An anti-Audu sentiment started to brew across the party ahead of the primary, and it was obvious that the stage was set for a woeful outing for Audu.”

He disclosed that four days to the primary all the governorship aspirants were invited to Ekiti House in Abuja by the party national leadership of for a meeting, which was chaired by Ekiti Governor Kayode Fayemi. The instruction was handed down that Audu had been nominated as the flag bearer.

“The aspirants vehemently objected to the imposition and insisted on the party conducting a proper primary while promising support to whoever emerged. After three days of unsuccessful lobbying, cajoling, and threat, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu came down to the fourth meeting on September 20, to hand down “the take it or leave it” instruction. He said that he had made up his mind on the candidature of Audu, and that ACN will not hold any primary. We expressed our reservation on the imposition highlighting various reasons Audu will be rejected at the polls. But we were talking to the deaf.

“The meeting closed but none of us attended the ratification of Audu’s candidature at the ACN secretariat in Lokoja on September 21. From the benefit of hindsight, after the PDP primary saga, Governor Ibrahim Idris, initiated the reconciliation process that allowed Abdulrazaq Kutepa’s camp to produce the deputy and explored the Presidency to work on Jibrin Isah Echocho. In contrast, Audu refused to come down from his Olympian heights, and instead of exploring ways to unite the party and seek reconciliation, he aggravated it by alienating the core ACN members by projecting his co-travelers who decamped from ANPP over and above the core ACN members. His deputy, Henry Ojuola, the Director General of his campaign organisation and other positions were selected from ANPP defectors, while the core ACN were marginalised.

“Several attempts were made to communicate the doom that was awaiting ACN at the December 3 polls if remedial actions were not taken and on time too. But the pride of Audu and the larger than life mentality of Tinubu did not let them hearken to the words of wisdom. They believed that they knew more than any other person. Now the election is over and the refusal of Audu to accord respect to other people and realise that politics has gone beyond master-servant arrangement, and Tinubu’s attitude that his wish must be done at all time in ACN has cost us this election in Kogi.

“I hope Tinubu will leave Kogi ACN alone and let us drive our party and chose our candidates in future. We have worked assiduously by investing our time and hard earned money since January 2009 without input from Tinubu or the national secretariat and Audu. I am almost certain that Audu will abandon the party now having failed to achieve his selfish agenda, so that we can rebuild the party again.”

A public analyst, Mr. Olusegun Iselaye, described Melaye’s claims as mere fallacy. He added that the “neither Tinubu’s nor Audu’s style catches anyone’s fancy. Their opinions are always too fixated. ACN is gaining grounds today because it is still growing and people have not realised that yet. I am afraid if ACN leaders continue with this kind of “take it or leave it” attitude, the party will never do well in other states outside the South West geopolitical region. Posterity will tell. Kogi people are not foolish; people are becoming more enlightened daily.”

It's only on NL that people who are not on ground in Kogi state claim to know better than those who really are from Kogi.
