The deputy governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in November 21, 2015 governorship election in Kogi State, James Faleke has stated that he did not got to court to object Yahaya Bello’s inauguration because he will be sent out of the Government House soon.
In a series of tweets, Faleke denied shunning the inauguration ceremony because he is not the running mate to Yahaya. He further said Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) accepted his position.
He further said he is not against the Ebira people but the process that produced Bello as a supplementary governor.
Faleke who did not attend the inauguration ceremony on 27 January, said he was optimistic because he has strong confidence in the judiciary.
Faleke contested the governorship election alongside Audu Abubakar but the former Kogi governor passed on before the election was concluded.
The unprecedented turn of events caused the Independent National Electoral Commission to direct the APC to produce another candidate as its governorship candidate.
APC then presented Yahaya Bello because he finished behind late Abubakar in their party’s primary.
