Communique Issued At The End Of The Emergency National Caucus Meeting Of The
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Held On Wednesday, November 25, 2015.
The National Caucus
of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) met on Wednesday, November 25, 2015 in Abuja wherein it
thoroughly considered the developments arising from the conduct of the
inconclusive governorship election in Kogi state and resolved as follows;
INEC Chairman, Yakubu
1.
Completely rejects the decision of INEC
in yielding to the unlawful prompting of a clearly partisan Attorney General of
the Federation (AGF), Mallam Abubakar Malami, to allow APC to substitute a
candidate in the middle of an election, even when such has no place in the
Constitution and the Electoral Act.
2.
Insists that with the death of its
candidate, Prince Abubakar Audu, the APC has legally crashed out of the
governorship race as no known law or constitutional provision allows the
substituting of candidates, once the ballot process has commenced.
3.
Insists that with the unfortunate death
of Prince Abubakar Audu, the APC has no valid candidate in the election,
leaving INEC with no other lawful option than to declare the PDP candidate,
Capt. Idris Wada as the winner of the election.
