Following the death of Abubakar Audu last Sunday, the leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in Kogi East Senatorial District, have nominated Mohammed, 43, first son of Abubakar Audu, to replace his father as the party’s governorship candidate.
The APC is to conduct a fresh primary to choose a replacement.
The Kogi leaders, who made their decision known in Lokoja on Thursday after a meeting, said they chose Mohammed Audu after due consultations.
Their spokesman, Daniel Isah, who is the vice chairman of APC in Kogi East, said they had resolved and were determined to back Mohammed Audu to replace his father when the National Working Committee orders fresh primaries.
Mr. Isah thanked the Independent National Electoral Commission and the national leadership of the party for the opportunity given to them to find a replacement for Mr. Audu who died at Ogbonicha, Ofu Local Government.
He appealed to the national leadership of the party to give their decision utmost consideration and approval in the overall interest of the party and the state.
Present at the meeting were Lincho Ocheje, Hassan Omale, Benjamin Ikhani, and Emmanuel Dangana, among others.
So it’s a family affairs
Thanks @Lionheart for your comment, it’s obvious before the election APC has nothing to offer this country, they only get through to Nigerians by causing misunderstanding, like blaming the former administration for mismanagement of funds and other threats to national security. If you pay close attention to their manifesto, you’ll realize they’re just trying to use gullible and lazy Nigerians weakness of the wants for easy and shining things #5000 scheme project.
They’ve been lagging behind since taking over from the last administration and instead of focusing on the change they promised, they’re busy playing the blame game.
And the election in kogi, is a proof they don’t have a backup plan, they don’t even have a good replacement for their candidate, I’m sure the deputy to the late candidate must be a figure head, who stands no chance at all. So now they’re trying to play the fast one by emotionally blackmailing the voters, this is so low of APC, the literally treat politics as a game, they just wanna win at all costs, they don’t even care about the people at all, all they care about is winning.
It’s a shame, Nigerians can’t see through their fakeness, they just buy into whatever they presents to them. I pray this administration won’t be worse than the last.
