Bello is the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the forthcoming governorship election.
Apart from disqualification, the plaintiff also asked the court to bar Bello, from holding public office for 10 years. The senior lawyer also maintained that Bello underwent double voter registration as a voter in gross violation of the electoral law, and that INEC had sacked two of its employees who allegedly “aided and abetted Yahaya Bello in his act of double registration as a voter”.In the affidavit sworn to by Bar. Natasha Akpoti in support of the suit, she said she contested the March 23, 2019 Kogi Central senatorial election but lost.
Akpoti alleged that Bello first registered as a voter in Abuja in 2011 and procured the second voter registration in Lokoja, the Kogi State capital in May 2017. Akpoti stated, “The transfer was carried out and his Permanent Voters Card was issued to him on February 26, 2018, while his second registration at the government house, Lokoja was and is still subsisting.
