Audu’s Replacement Splits Buhari, Tinubu
Category: Kogi News
The replacement for the governorship candidate of All Progressives
Congress (APC) in Kogi State, Prince Abubakar Audu who died recently may
have caused friction between President Muhammadu Buhari and the
National Leader of APC, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
According to reports, the party has named Alhaji Yahaya Bello as its new
governorship candidate and retained Hon James Faleke as the deputy
governorship candidate for the Kogi governorship supplementary
election.
While President Muhammadu Buhari is believed to have given the party
leadership the nod to replace Prince Audu with Yahaya Bello, Senator
Tinubu is rooting for his political godson, Hon. James Faleke to step in
as governorship candidate.
The camp of Senator Tinubu is irked by the reported interference of
President Buhari in Kogi politics as against his renowned quote, “I
belong to everybody, I belong to nobody”.
As a counter action, Tinubu has reportedly hired a team of legal
luminaries led by Chief Wole Olanipekun SAN to mount legal landmines on
the path of Buhari’s choice, Yahaya Bello.
Hon. Faleke in the four page letter written by his counsel, Chief Wole
Olanipekun and entitled RE: JUST CONCLUDED GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION IN KOGI
STATE -APC SHOULD NOT SIDETRACK JAMES ABIODUN FALEKE OR SUPER IMPOSE ON
HIM ANY OTHER PERSON OR CANDIDATE, indicates he may heads to court if
the party eventually settle for Yahaya Bello as its governorship
candidate.
A party leader confirmed the internal wrangling within the APC: “There
was also some conspiracy behind the refusal of the ticket for Faleke.
Some presidency forces stamped their feet that he must not be allowed to
step into Audu’s shoes because of internal power struggles in APC.
“I won’t give you names but the forced were more powerful than Oyegun and other NWC members.”
