The candidate of the All Progressives
Congress in Saturday’s governorship election, Abubakar Audu, has died.
“Audu is gone,” the distraught associate,
who requested not to be named, told reporters.
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.
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.
