APC has picked and forwarded to INEC Yahaya Bello's name to be its substitute for late Prince Audu Abubakar in the Kogi state supplementary governorship election come December 5th. This move puts a note of finality to who will be representing the party in the supplementary election.
INEC’s Deputy Director in charge of Publicity, Nick Dazang. who confirmed this new development said " They have sent the name of their replacement candidate, the first runner-up in their primaries, that is Yahaya Bello, to the commission.”.
This development comes despite the grumblings from James Faleke, the deputy candidate of Prince Audu Abubakar in the Kogi state November 21st governorship election, who had expected that he would be declared Governor following Audu's death.
Faleke James has also disassociated himself from the report and says he his ready to take APC to court.
