Kogi Election: APC Group Endorses Late Abubakar Audu’s Son
The
All Progressives Congress (APC) critical stakeholders and delegates
from Kogi East Senatorial District have resolved that the late political
icon and APC candidate in the November 22 governorship election that
was pronounced to be inconclusive, Mr Abubakar Audu, be substituted with
his son Mohammed Audu in the event that the party goes for fresh
primary.
This was contained in a communique read by Daniel Isah, the Kogi East
Zonal Chairman at the party secretariat in Lokoja, Kogi State.
The decision by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)
to declare Kogi State governorship election inconclusive has continued
to generate controversies within the party.
Supporters and members of the party have appeared divided on who
should replace Abubakar Audu as the party’s governorship candidate.
Getting a candidate to fill the vacant seat was one of the major
reasons the delegates from the eastern senatorial district held the
closed door meeting which lasted for one hour.
While the closed door meeting was going on, some youths under the
auspices of Kogi APC Concerned Youths took to the streets with placards,
demanding that the son of the late Abubakar Audu should be the
substitute governorship candidate.
They claimed the son has been working closely with his father and understands his plans.
