Kogi Electorate File Fresh Suit To Remove Bello From Office by Ehiscotch(m): 12:47pm On Jul 04, 2017 |
Some electorate in Kogi, have approached a Federal High Court in Abuja to declare the return and swearing-in of Alhaji Yahaya Bello as the governor of Kogi as null and void The suit, number FHC/ABJ/C3/535/ /2017, was filed on June 16 before Justice John Tsoho of the Federal High Court 3, Abuja, according to documents made available to newsmen on Tuesday in Lokoja. Mr Michael Elokun, Mr Ibrahim Sule and Mrs Hawa Adamu , all registered voters in Kogi are the electorate suing Bello on behalf of over 1.2 million registered voters in the state. Other defendants in the suit are: the All Progressives Party (APC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as well as the Minister of Justice and the Attorney-General of the Federation. In the originating summon supported by a 19- paragraph affidavit, the petitioners are asking the court to remove the governor on grounds that he is not a registered voter in Kogi. The petitioners also urged the court to remove Bello on the grounds that he was not validly nominated in writing to contest the 2015 governorship election by any registered voter in the state. They contended that this was in accordance with Section 32 of the 2010 Electoral Act as amended. Elokun, Sule and Adamu want the court to affirm that since Bello was not a registered voter in Kogi, he could not be nominated for any elective position or be voted for by the electorate in the state. On this premise, the petitioners are asking the court to declare as null and void the declaration of Bello as the winner of the governorship election held in the state in 2015 by the INEC. No date had been fixed to hear the suit. www.vanguardngr.com/2017/07/kogi-electorate-file-fresh-suit-remove-bello-office/ CC LALASTICLALA 1 Like

Lol. And people everywhere. Do they think because the constituents can recall a lawmaker then they can also call a governor? governor bello has been affirmed by the supreme court, the only way he can be booted out is through impeachment. Dino is on a long thing. |

tesppidd:. Bro, look at your laws very well. The case the Supreme Court delivered judgement on is different from this one. If you look at the electoral act, Bello is not qualified to be Governor because he's not a registered voter in Kogi state. We shouldn't allow these politicians to trample on our laws 1 Like |

The Supreme Court has spoken on the election of Bello. That decision is final. |

The ten million naira question: How is Yahaya Bello still governor of Kogi State? To be honest,what brought him to power was more of a selection than an election. Anybody who thinks otherwise is either being mischievous or economical with the truth. #Fact. |
