That the former governor of Kogi state, Abubakar Audu, emerged as the All Progressives Congress candidate for the state’s gubernatorial election yesterday is no more news.
What is however news is the fact that so many Nigerians seem not to be happy about Audu’s emergence, with many berating the APC for even allowing him to contest the party’s primaries.
Audu polled 1,109 in the primaries defeating his closest rival Yahaya Bello who received 703 votes. The chief returning officer for the primaries, was Kaduna state governor, Nasir El-Rufai.
Interestingly, Audu has contested the governorship position of the state since the inception of the state, he contested in 1991, 1999 (which he won), 2003, 2007, 2011 and now 2015!

APC gave Audu ticket to run as a governor in Kogi State and ready to rig him in so that he will evade his case with EFCC under immunity….

So the idea now is to “Change” a prudent government for a certifiably “Corrupt” option. May God free us some wisdom. #Kogi — AED (@AdejoED) August 31, 2015
APC has shamefully coronated Abubakar Audu in Kogi. Thief, acid thrower, wife molester… add to the list.

Just spoke with a delegate why he didn’t vote for my Comrade Rotimi Obadofin in the Kogi APC primaries. He replied. “He too speak English”

For the sake of Kogi people, I pray the PDP offers them a better candidate. That state has suffered too much from poor governance.

Audu Abubakar is APC candidate in Kogi State. How I wish they had a 3rd force that can defeat both PDP and APC in Kogi. Audu again? Shior!
