Group Accuses Faleke Of Planning To Cause Chaos

There is palpable tension in Kogi state over an alleged plot by James Faleke and his supporters to throw Kogi state into chaos ahead of the January 27, 2016 swearing-in ceremony in the state.

 

 

 

Faleke has opposed Bello’s emergence as governor on the grounds that he was supposed to be declared governor-elect, not running mate or deputy governorship candidate.

Recall that Falake was the running mate to late Abubakar Audu, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the November 21 governorship election in the state but the party leadership chose Bello as the late Audu’s replacement to contest the supplementary election which Bello eventually won.
