The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) may have declared Yahaya Bello, the gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) the Governor-elect of Kogi State, but intra-party wrangling is still going on heavily. The running mate to the late Abubakar Audu, the APC candidate in the November 21 governorship election and Deputy Governor-elect, James Abiodun Faleke, yesterday insisted that he would not be Deputy to the Governor-elect, Yahaya Bello.
Speaking through his media aide, Duro Meseko, Faleke insisted that no one could force him to be the Deputy to Bello. He said:
“That somebody is a member of a party does not mean that you cannot fight for your rights, if they are trampled upon. The result of Saturday’s supplementary election has further confirmed my earlier position that we won the election of Saturday November 21st. My position is that I have appealed the case and nobody can force me to be Deputy Governor-elect to Yahaya Bello.
