Kogi Election: Faleke Picks Audu’s Son As Running Mate.
The running mate to the late Prince Abubakar Audu in the November 21 governorship election in the state, Mr James Faleke, has vowed to reclaim the mandate of the people of the state given freely to the APC during the election.
Faleke who has been picked as the substitute for the late Abubakar
Audu, made this assertion while addressing hundreds of APC supporters in
Lokoja on Monday.
Quoting a section of the constitution while picking Mohammed Audu as
his running mate, he pointed out that attempts to snatch power from the
reins of the APC in Kogi State were fruitless as the party is poised to
chart a new course for the state.He explained that there is no contention between him and the immediate political family of late Abubakar Audu and described the task ahead as a moral burden on him to fight on, till the victory of APC is accomplished.
Going back to the primary election conducted on August 28, 2015, he noted that he remained the only person holding on to the votes cast for the APC.
Some APC leaders from the three senatorial districts of the state were present as Mr Faleke made his decision known to his supporters.
