I said it that neither did INEC nor APC erred.

1. Election was not won or lost based on the Electoral Act as there were more registered voters than the margin with which APC/Audu was leading. And since the Act recognized only registered voters and not PVC collected, the election became inconclusive.

2. Faleke did not participate in APC's primaries whereas the Electoral Act clearly stated that for any candidate to be elegible for election into office, he/she must have participated fully in his/her party's primaries. So, how will APC have used Faleke who didn't meet this criteria? Doing so would have handed the governorship to Wada through the courts later.

The case of Boni Haruna and that of Amaechi or any other similar ones are clearly different from this Kogi's case. In Kogi, no winner has emerged and it's the reason Faleke is unfortunate here.

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.

The decision of the court is neither a victory for INEC or APC. The court just said the matters brought can only be dealt with by the Election Tribunal

who will be the APC deputy governorship candidate since Faleke has withdrawn his candidacy for the supplem,entary polls? Can a candidiate run without a running mate? Will Bello/Another deputy inherit votes cast for Audu/Faleke? A very interesting days in the courts in the coming days .The way I see this,fresh elections are in the offing

Only the political party according to law can withdraw a candidate.

I will challenge the highlighted again and again.

-Know that the whole election process is in phases.

-The phase of primaries ended with the nomination of Audu/Faleke as flag bearers.

-The election proper belongs to Audu and Faleke. With the demise of Audu, which is a force majeure, Faleke automatically becomes the main flag bearer. To complete the APC election team, Bello should be seconded to be Faleke's running mate.

-Faleke as main flagbearer and Bello as deputy/running mate is more appropriate and legal.

- I urge Faleke not to be part of the supplementary election if he is not made the main flagbearer. I hate used and dumped politics.

The best thing to do is for INEC to conduct fresh election.


sorry sir, we are not supposed to look for "the best thing to do"; but the legal and right thing.

The court (or judge) says these are post election matters, meaning the election is concluded. only the tribunals can adjudicate on the matter.

going by this judgement, Falake is the governor elect.

Governorship Candidate is a joint ticket between Governor/Deputy. As long as Audu participated, it equally means that Faleke participated. That Augument that Faleke didn't participate is non and void. Bello didn't participate in the main election, he is just participating in the supplementary election which means how can INEC announce that that Bello having polled so so no of votes is declared elected when obviously about 240,000 is not his vote.

According to the court, the election is concluded and Falake is the only flagbearer of APC left with the in the election after the demise of Audu. And without Falake as the main flagbearer, APC has no case to continue in the supplementary elections.

Has faleke formally write to INEC indicating he is not a running mate to Yahaya Bello? As it stands ,officially, he is still the running mate to Yahaya

because APC submitted both yahaya and faleke names for the supplementary election.

Let the drama continue
As far as INEC is concerned Faleke is still the APC running mate despite his purported withdrawal. INEC will only accept the purported withdrawal if APC informs them and presents a new running mate for the elections.
