YAHAYA BELLO, THE ONLY LEGITIMATE RESOLUTION TO APC’S VICTORY IN KOGI POLLS

YAHAYA BELLO, THE ONLY LEGITIMATE RESOLUTION TO APC’S VICTORY IN KOGI POLLS

As politicking thickens in kogo state the only legitimate individual who the news is legally created around is ALHAJI YAHAYA BELLO.

The reasons are very clear and on the need to create a responsible and quality leadership value in Nigeria the APC can not do the wrong thing of fielding a wrong candidate to replace late prince Audu in the concluding polls slated for the 5^th of December amidst the eyes of the world.

In the following conditions stated or interpreted by the constitution Yahaya Bello stands as the only candidate to be fielded to represent the party as the flag bearer come 5^th December 2015.

1.      That late prince Audu stood in primary elections against others in the party and there was a result respected and duly accepted by the party.

2.      That Yahaya Bello also stood in that same election that brought prince Audu as the overall winner of that said election.

3.      That Yahaya Bello was the second in position in the results announced by the APC in kogi state before the general election. Against other political parties respectively.

4.      That INEC announced for a supplementary elections after an inconclusive condition was valued at the polls before the late flag bearer of the APC dead. And that the supplementary election shall hold on the 5^th of December 2015 which is following the regulations of our electoral process which provides that INEC shall give a due date for a conclusive part of the supplementary election date within 14 days (2weeks) from the date of the inconclusive election held.

5.      And that the new date of the election which is on the 5^th of December 2015 is basically a contravention of the original date given by INEC to present a new person to replace the dead candidate of the APC in person of prince Audu, and because of this timing, the APC MUST revert to the authentic primary elections results which was held in lokoja that brought prince Audu as its winner and flag bearer and pick the second winner in person of ALHAJI YAHAYA BELLO.

6.      And that the APC is left with no choice then to present the duly constituted and legitimate candidate in the person of ALHAJI YAHAYA BELLO as the official replacement for the APC without any waste of time so consolidations of the gains of his candidacy can be enjoyed by the APC supporters in the supplementary polls holding on the 5^th of December respectively.

7.      That INEC  has given the 5^th of December 2015 as the date for the supplementary elections which connotes that part  of our constitution which states that all political parties MUST hold a primary elections to present a candidate that shall stand as a party flag bearer for the general elections within a stipulated period of 30 days (thirty days) to the date stipulated for an election which is the 5^th of December 2015.

8.      That Yahaya bello is the only legitimate candidate to replace prince Audu or the party will provide a loophole in the electoral process where the PDP’s candidate will exercise the powers of remaining in office as the legitimate winner of the 2015 kogi state governorship elections respectively making it a factor after the election results must have been announced and a winner declared by INEC. It is very certain that because by law it will be said that the APC didn’t field in play the legitimate candidate for the election so all the mandate given to the party in the polls as votes are invalid votes which shouldn’t count at all cost.  This is a simple logic and that the APC MUST understand and this is a factor which brings out the greedy interest of the Igala tribalized nature that has put back the state over the years. We pray that this MUST be stopped by all and sundry. The mantle of leadership must be given to the honest and credible legitimate candidate so the rule of law in Nigeria can be respected in all its ramifications. This is factor that must be stopped for the betterment of our democracy.

Yahaya Bello stood in for the primary election and came second (2nd) in the rolls of the results and the national working committee of the APC MUST take this into consideration and use this as an opportunity to present Yahaya Bello as the beneficed  APC governorship candidate without any delay or favor or provide the PDP the privilege to remain in power as the winners of the said elections whereby the APC did not field into play a legitimate candidate to finish from where prince Audu stopped as the party’s flag bearer respectively.

This is condition that provides a clear case of victory for the APC and I can not understand why the legitimate candidate shouldn’t be announced as the flag bearer so that the air can be cleared for the said candidate to open up for a responsive consultation with party supporters who are on ground to supply the votes that the party needs to kill the remaining part of the elections in favor of the APC.

Prince Audu dead, yes we know, may his soul rest in perfect peace. The fact still remains that history must take its course for the people to enjoy the basic values of a nation irrespective of what had happened along the lines of the struggle for change to come in the areas of our national political history and stability

That on died doesn’t mean the truth or the rule of law shouldn’t be respected by a political party in Nigeria which is registered and regulated by the law under INEC.

Yahaya Bello remains the only legitimate resolution to the victory of the APC in kogi state election and the mandate he got in the primary elections as the second position winner held in lokoja where prince Audu came out tops should be the only reason why he MUST be given the rights as the next man standing in the kogi state governorship supplementary elections for the 5^th of December 2015 with due considerations.

APC should not disrespect the powers provided by the law to push out a legitimate candidate for the personal interest of any disgruntled selfish group of persons who are pushing for a new primary election and for a new candidate apart from the legitimate candidate in the person of ALHAJI YAHAYA BELLO who duly won the powers of our constitutional perspective to represent the party.

It is high time we all stand up to defend our political stability by showing some respect for the law and constituted authority of purpose.

The president Mohammadu Buhari’s administration should not joke with this huge mistake of not fielding the legitimate candidate for the election under the APC because it will go along way to buttress the image of the government in power and if allowed it will be a massive mistake that will continue as greater mistake in years to come.

For me this is the only chance we have to start correcting the abnormalities of draglines in nature in our constitution that needs serious and urgent amendments for future matters arising in same case.   

 That is if not taken into positive considerations it will tarnish the image of the campaign for change and the fight against corruption in Nigeria lead by President Buhari himself.

It is a huge pity that our legal practitioners can’t look the way of the truth in this matter.

We are building a nation that we should all must support in every way we can but its pity and shame that we are not ready to make amends in the areas of how the rule of law should run the affairs of governance in Nigeria.

The lawyers are particularly speaking mostly on the values of their own understanding and personal pockets instead of projecting the reasons for a more responsive democratic Nigeria where laws are respected as matters unfolds in our daily life as a nation on the move.

And for men like Festus Keyamu and others with due respect to their personalities to open up in the public and be saying that a deputy who didn’t stand a primary election should replace the late prince Audu in an inconclusive election. This is a serious mischief and a calculated character to overheat the polity as a someone highly respected by Nigerian youths who are following his track records as a lawyer who has a great respect for the law profession in Nigeria.

This is what we call a constitutional shame in the terms of legality and illegality because our lawyers should be able to interpret the law in matters arising without fear or favor, when it comes to a case for client it should be treated s such but when it’s a case of our national interest sort as this kogi governorship election saga we should try as much as possible to advise on the right thing so we wont pull our political stability in the mud as a nascent democracy.

Our lawyers should not incite words to words only because we have to opportunity to advertize our law potentials in a case with a national value. We must stop heating the polity no matter what anyone says or want to say it is certain that the APC MUST field in the legitimate candidate in the person of ALHAJI YAHAYA BELLO.
