Kogi Election: Faleke Loses At Tribunal

Mr. James Faleke has no locus standi to file
petition against the election of Yahaya Bello as
the duly elected Governor of Kogi State, the
State Governorship Elections Petitions Tribunal
ruled on Monday.
Consequently, the Tribunal dismissed his
petition. Faleke was the running mate to
Abubakar Audu, the initial governorship
candidate of the All Progressives Congress,
APC, who died on the day of the election.
Faleke had approached the Tribunal to
challenge the election of Yahaya Bello as Kogi
State Governor.
Bello was chosen by the leadership of APC to
replace late Abubakar Audu, in the
supplementary election and won.
Faleke had prayed election petition tribunal to
declare him as the authentic winner of the
November 21, 2015 governorship election in Kogi
State.
He anchored his prayers on the ground that
Governor Yahaya Bello never participated in the
said election.
