Nigeria - James Abiodun Faleke, APC's Deputy Governorship candidate in the recent Kogi elections yesterday emerged from a meeting with the party's leadership with a set mind and a strong opinion.

Speaking at the party’s secretariat in Abuja, he declined to run with the party's choice candidate, Yahaya Bello, saying a governor-elect can never be a deputy governor candidate.

“The issue of Kogi state was paramount in the minds of national leaders and they wanted a solution to it.

“However, we met for about two hours as you have observed and we discovered that the meeting that we were invited for was just a mere briefing rather than it being where we could have deliberated and solved the quagmire we find ourselves in. We were only briefed about the position of the party.
“The party told us that it had nominated Alhaji Yahaya Bello and of course, we made it clear that as the political family of Prince Abubakar Audu, because it is not acceptable and we are not going with it.

“I personally observed that my name has been submitted to INEC as deputy governorship candidate to pair with Alhaji Yahaya Bello and I told the National Chairman clearly and in clear words, that I have submitted a letter this morning distancing myself from that decision and that on no ground will I want to be associated with the decision of the party to pair me with Alhaji Yahaya Bello because I am already governor-elect.

“I also told him, Mr. Chairman for us as a family, Kogi state political family, we are not taking part in that election and my name cannot be submitted because I was not even consulted in the first instance. The Governor-elect cannot become another deputy governorship candidate.

“I want to make it very clear that Alhaji Yahaya Bello did not take part in all our campaign process and we are only contesting election in 91 polling units out 2,548 or there about polling units and we have made it very clear that if they go ahead to conduct election because I have pulled out, that election would be challenged in the court of law, it will be null and void.

“We won’t be addressing you today if the party had followed the path of honour we championed there is for the party to go to court and challenge INEC and Mr. Chairman told us directly right away without considering it twice that the party will not go to court and since the party is not going to court, we have taken it upon ourselves to defend ourselves in court and we are challenging the decision”.

The Game is On !!!!!

GAME OF THRONES

Please which season of Kogi decides is this?






...but this man is somehow right shaa ooo, except that he is not the governor-elect yet...Am'Igala a' je n!

In other news, former governorship aspirant has this to say:

" I Olumoroti George Olusola (OGO) hereby wish to state that I
have not and will not accept to participate in the Yahaya Bello
endorsement as a replacement for late Audu in the capacity of a
deputy gubernatorial candidate.
I hereby dissociate myself from the criminal hijacking of mandate freely given to the joint ticket of Audu/Faleke, and restate that the election was concluded on November 21.
Additionally, I will work with our governor elect Abiodun Faleke (the joint ticket owner) to reclaim the mandate that was freely expressed by the good people of kogi state on November 21. We appeal to our various supporters to remain calm and be law abiding. We are confident that justice will be done and the mandate reclaimed without violence.
Thank you. Olumoroti George Olusola (OGO)"

Hmmm.....inec messed up big time....they should haave gone to the supreme court for clarification on this issue...now...it is still this court that will be consulted in the end and its decision is final...I won't hand mind bello at all..but because he lostat the primaries ,he allegedly engaged in anti-party activities...that's unfair...he will now reap where he did not sow

go back to your Lagos constituency and stop causing confusion in Kogi State.

Power drunken party. APC party trying to destroy the Democracy GEJ administration has suffer to build

Now that the APC have a candidate, Falake/Mohammed should go and form 'FAMO' political party. If the party reigned on other loyal party members to accept you as their deputy governor, I wonder why you think that all this nonsense you are doing will take you to anywhere.

Good.... He should just go to court and prove dat 41,000 is greater than 49,000

Noted. The lines are from Robert Stevenson's novel Treasure Island. I'm no cultist. Please read the book. It's a very good book. It could be for kids but adults will find it resourceful.
