APC considers replacement for Faleke
Category: Kogi News
All Progressives Congress is considering replacement for the Kogi State Deputy Governor-Elect, Hon Abiodun James Faleke, who on Tuesday returned to House of Representatives in Abuja after Yahaya Bello was declared Governor-elect of Kogi State.
Faleke had on Tuesday announced that he would not be available for the inauguration as a deputy governor.
He told reporters in Kabba, “I will not
disappoint (the late) Prince Abubakar Audu. I, James Abiodun Faleke,
will not be there for the swearing-in if we don’t finish the case before
January 27, 2016.”
However, the National chairman of the party, John Oyegun, said that, "On the Faleke issue, it is
rather a straightforward and easy issue. We have replaced a governorship
candidate, if the need arises and subject to what the law says, we will
also get a deputy governorship candidate but we will cross those
bridges as they arise but they have not arisen yet.
He added that, “As a political party, we simply
understand the frustration that emanated from the death of the late
Prince Abubakar Audu, however, it is normal for us to accommodate the
immediate reactions coming from the people involved.
“They were at the gate of victory but
was shut at their faces because of the unfortunate death of their mentor
(Abubakar Audu) who would have been our governor in the state.
“So, a lot of things which normally we
would not have accepted happened but we have to accept them. Wielding
the big stick in a situation like this might not be appropriate but
there will be a timeline to it, enough will be enough at a certain
time.”
As to whether Faleke would be sanctioned he said, “All I will say is that we should not jump the gun.”
He expressed the party’s preparedness to defend the mandate won by its candidate in Kogi at the tribunal.
“Those who feel aggrieved; it is for
them to call to question whatever they feel aggrieved about and we are
going to meet them on those grounds.
“For us in the APC, Kogi is a settled
issue, if you want to go to the tribunal, we’ll meet you there, if you
want to go to court, we’ll meet you there,” he said.
