How APC Governorship Candidate, Abubakar Audu, died

There are indications the  candidate of the All Progressives Congress for Saturday’s governorship election in Kogi, Abubakar Audu, may not have died as a result of the news of the declaration of Saturday’s election as inconclusive.

This newspaper learnt that Mr. Audu’s health problem started on Saturday evening.
A relative said his problem started when he complained of stomach cramps on Saturday.
“He suffered a stroke yesterday morning and annother fatal one occurred in the afternoon.”

A close friend and close associate of the late politician had confirmed his passing.
“Audu is gone,” the distraught associate, who requested not to be named, said the telephone.

Though too shattered to provide details of the politician’s passing, he confirmed he was in the candidate’s company when he passed on.

The source said the former governor suddenly took ill and was being rushed to Abuja preparatory to being flown abroad when he passed on.

Mr. Audu’s son, Mustapha is not answering or returning calls and so were all the other close family members we tried to contact.One of his media aides, Phillip Obin, also did not answer or return calls.

The Independent National Electoral Commission had declared the Saturday governorship election inconclusive, but Mr. Audu was in a pole position to be declared winner eventually.

God is gradually dealing with all criminals who looted Nigeria's money.
