Faleke formally wrote to INEC to withdraw his deputy Governorship candidate to Bello!! As far as the law is concerned Bello had no deputy

anigbajumo:



shut up,u just dey spew trash anyhow. Both are Tinubu boy's...who sponsored yahaya bello primary election?


Either falake or yahaya both of dem gonna still be remote by jagaban.

I beg top disagree with you. Faleke can claim the supplementary election that brought Bello in is null and void since he has written to INEC and APC to remove his name as a deputy governorship candidate for the supplementary election. INEC and the APC cannot force a candidate to run in an election, and since one cannot run in an election without a complete ticket it makes the election null and void.

Faleke can dispute INEC's claim based on the PVC's distributed and the difference between the votes of Audu/Faleke's and Wada's. Yes, the electoral act only recognises the registered voters but Faleke's legal team will challenge INEC to explain who is a 'Qualified Voter' on an election day. If INEC's argument only supports 'registered voters and not of the use of PVC's, INEC would have shot itself in the leg meaning that elections conducted using PVC's are meaningless and unconstitutional and as such INEC cannot force the electorates to produce a PVC before voting since what they recognize is the registered voters only.

Thirdly, can you claim Bello has fulfilled all the constitutional requirements? Did Bello take part in the more than 2,500 polling units where elections were concluded in November? Isn't that part of the constitutional requirement?

Lastly, when the returning officer for the elections was returning Bello as the winner, he did not say APC alone but said Alhaji Yahya Bello of the APC haven polled the highest number of votes and satisfied all constitutional requirements is thereby returned elected'? Did Yahya Bello in actual sense pull the highest number of votes?

NAIRALAND LAWYERS, quoting laws on social media is not enough, y don't u guys offer to be FALEKE lawyer so as to say all those trash in court, the court is free; even you can go to court, YAHAYA BELLO IS THE GOVERNOR ELECT OF KOGI STATE: This is very simpls; I advise u guys to contact FALEKE on what to do next coz lawyers won't be tired of eating ur money ::

PassingShot:
One can only feel for Faleke that the laws conspired against him but there is NOTHING he can do about the situation. Even if he spends his entire savings on this case, I believe Yahaya Bello will be governor.

If not for the Electoral law that specifically demands that a candidate must have fully participated in his party's primaries to qualify for election, APC would have used Faleke as Audu's replacement.

The lesson of this Kogi election is that it's advisable to participate in the primaries that will throw up a substantive candidate (gubernatorial or presidential) even if your plan is to be deputy to the eventual winner. In the event that your principal kicks the bucket during election process, you will easily be made his replacement without much rancor.

Housing:
Tribunal will definitely decide the governor elect in Kogi, as for me it is either Faleke or Wada, but not Yahaya he may rejoice in the interim

ybalogs:
I believe Audu paved the way for Yahya Bello, but the truth remains that people just don't want Wada.

ThisMeansWars:
why are you so pained ? Soak garri o.. You need it

barcaboi:
I support Faleke but d law actually supports a candidate who has been involved in the primaries wch counts Faleke out if not PDP will use dat against him......lots of issues.....mk we see wetin d court go decide

gidjah:

anigbajumo:

Emmanueledu:

anigbajumo:

khattab02:

dokiOloye:
Exercise in futility.
Waiting patiently for d courts to quash this sham of an election and order a rerun.
So INEC wants man B to inherit man A's votes?
Why not dash him that his fairly new 18yr old wife too as part of d package?
Ndi ara.

dokiOloye:
That was a whole different scenario.

gidjah:
so the solution is to now abqndon the Faleke and go for d second fidsdle? Will HIS tribe every be happy with the was their own was treated with disdain? Dos this still potray the one Nigeria we all are singing about??. THE HAUSA MAN IN THE NORTH WILL NEVWR ALLOW a northern christain to rule over him, the ialamic man in the NORTH will never ALLOW another muslim from another part from the south or went to rule over him. IS THAT ONE NIGERIA?? or rather one disaccord?? This is the man point i am making!

Mjshexy:
Long expected, there was no way we would have given PDP a chance again in that state, we only had an effigy as a governor in that state for the past 4 years, in fact the past 16yrs of pdp was a disaster in kogi and if APC won't perform better, then we give kowa a chance shikena. Things must change & power must rotate, it's not any tribe's birthright...
