Kogi Poll: Faleke Picks Audu’s Son As Running Mate

Despite APC picking Yahaya Bello to replace the party’s late candidate, Abubakar Audu, James Faleke who was Audu’s running mate has now picked the late politician’s son, Mohammed Abubakar to run the race with him and now wants the party to endorse them. You will recall that, Faleke had written INEC through his lawyers to declare him the Kogi-Governor Elect, stating that since he was Audu’s running mate, he should automatically inherit his votes, but APC shunned all that and went ahead to pick Mr Bello.

It will also be recalled that APC youths had also said they want Mohammed to replace his late father and had started ‘campaigning’ for him in that regard.The supplementary poll in the 91 polling units has been fixed for December 5 by INEC.
