‘No man is good enough to govern another man without the other’s consent’ – Abraham Lincoln The above comment made by Abraham Lincoln a long time ago holds true today as it did at the time it was made. So it is with the out -going governor of Abia State, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, who never had the consent of the people by the plurality of their votes to govern them and, like all things acquired by dubious means , they never last.

Uneasy calm pervades the political landscape of Kogi today as James Abiodun Faleke and Mr. Mohammed Audu were invited by operatives of the Directorate of State Security in Abuja. Supporters of the two politicians were apprehensive on the fate of their principals. James Abiodun Faleke, a second-term House of Representatives member was the running mate to the late Prince Abubakar Audu. The late Prince Audu died before the governorship election was concluded in the state. In view of the legal vacuity of the scenario, Faleke has been consistently affirming that he was the right owner of the mandate given to him and the late Prince Abubakar Audu. He argued that the election of November 21, 2015 was concluded and that a winner had emerged. But contrary to Faleke’s position, the National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress presented Alh.

The man was then taken into a room, where he was forced to remove his manhood.
