Faleke heads to court as APC adopts Bello as Audu successor

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Deputy Governor candidate in the November 21 governorship election in Kogi State, Hon. James Abiodun Faleke has announced his intention to go to court to challenge the decision of the party to adopt Alhaji Yahaya Bello as the successor of the late Abubakar Audu, the governorship candidate of the party in the election.

Audu, who was leading in the result of the election died on November 22 as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared the election inconclusive on the grounds that elections could not hold in 91 polling units.
Since his death and the position of INEC that APC could appoint his successor, the party has been engulfed with the crisis of succession.
