Abiodun Faleke, the running mate to late Prince Abubakar Audu in the November 21 governorship election in Kogi State has vowed to challenge the decision of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to pick Yahaya Bello as the replacement for Audu in court.

Abiodun Faleke vows to go to court

This followed the deadlock at the meeting of the APC held in Abuja on Monday to resolve the Kogi state crisis.

Faleke, who described the meeting as a “mere briefing”, said he would seek legal redress against the nomination of Yahaya Bello as the party’s governorship candidate.

Faleke also distanced himself from the supplementary election scheduled to take place on December 5.

“We met for more than two hours, but we discovered that the meeting was a mere briefing,” he said.

“The party told us that they have nominated Alhaji Yahaya Bello as the substituted Kogi governorship candidate. But we told them that, that was not acceptable.

“I have submitted a letter to the party that I will not be paired with Yahaya Bello because, I am governor-elect.

“I will not be part of the election, and because I have pulled out it will be null and void.

“We are going to challenge the decision of the party in court. I am not a deputy governor to anybody. They party took the decision and just invited us.”
