Kogi State deputy governorship
candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the November 21 election in Kogi
State, Hon. James Abiodun Faleke, has warned his party and the Independent
National Electoral Commission INEC not to do anything that will compromise his
mandate as the deputy governor-elect.
In two letters written through his
counsel Wole Olanipekun SAN to INEC and the APC yesterday, Faleke informed both
parties of the court case he instituted and vowed not to betray the late Prince
Abubakar Audu by surrendering their joint victory.
He told the National Chairman of the
APC, John Odigie-Oyegun, that he was “not ready or prepared to negotiate,
compromise, surrender, mortgage or part, in any way whatsoever, with the
mandate already given to the said joint ticket by the electorate of Kogi
State.”
He again pleaded with the APC not to
submit his name as an associate or running mate to any person or newcomer into
the supplementary election which INEC is proposing to hold in 91 polling units
on December 5, 2015.
With Faleke’s stands now the All
Progressive Congress and the Independent National Electoral Commission are in a
quagmire over the Kogi State election debacle. As it stands now only a
political solution can solve the situation or better still outright
cancellation of the election and organizing another one in a later date when
all constitutional provision would have been followed.
