‘Blame INEC for Kogi political impasse'

A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi State, Mr. Ben Adaji, has blamed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the recent political impasse in the state. That was following the sudden death of Prince Abubakar Audu, the party’s flag bearer in the November 21 governorship polls in the state.

Adaji, who disclosed this yesterday at a press conference in Jalingo, Taraba State capital, explained that naturally it is demands that the successor of late Audu should have been the person running a joint ticket with him as the deputy governorship candidate, Mr. James Falake. He argued that although APC had won the gubernatorial election in Kogi State, the declaration of Yahaya Bello, has left much to be desired because the mandate bestowed on him was wrong and that Falake has to be given back his mandate through the legal process.
