A non-governmental
organization in Lagos State has requested the Independent Electoral commission,
INEC to declare the seat of Mr. Abiodun Faleke vacant as a member of the House
of Representatives representing a Constituency in the state following his transfer
of his electoral right to Kogi State where he is presently the Deputy Governor-Elect
under the platform of All Progressive Congress, APC.
In a statement by
then organization, Mr. Olanrewaju Osundairo, warned that should the commission
fail to do the needful, the group would resort to legal action.
‘’By virtue of the
fact that Faleke had transferred his franchise away from Lagos to Kogi State,
he ceases to be a member of the constituency. He lacks the moral and legal
rights to speak for us in Ikeja at the lower legislative chambers.”
Faleke, who contested
the recent governorship election in Kogi state with the late Audu Abubarka and
on the demise of the governorship candidate, had futilely protested to be
considered as a replacement. However, he has approached the court for the
actualization.
