I Never Accused Tinubu, Others Of Killing Audu —Okorocha

Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha yesterday denied having a quarrel
with Senator Bola Tinubu, saying the envisaged rift only exists in the
imaginations of those who have chosen the path of dishonour.

Governor Okorocha, who was reacting to a report published in a social
media on Sunday, claiming that he accused Senator Tinubu and other APC
members of being responsible for the death of the APC governorship
candidate in Kogi State, Prince Abubakar Audu, described such claim as
"ungodly blackmail."

The governor said in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary,
Sam Onwuameodo, that the envisaged rift between Senator Tinubu and
himself "only exists in the imaginations of those who have chosen the
path of dishonor, because only dishonourable people could have
authored such an inglorious write-up. Decent people do not do such
thing."

The governor said he never accused the former governor of Lagos State
and one of the key pillars of the APC in the country, Senator Tinubu,
of being responsible for the death of the APC governorship candidate
in Kogi State, Prince Audu.

"The report came up on Sunday evening and, of course, few hours after
the news of the death of the Kogi Prince were still being doubted by
most Nigerians.

"Those who feel they can drag Governor Okorocha down through cheap
blackmail should better be advised to find something meaningful to do,
because whoever God has blessed, nobody can curse.

This is scriptural. And that is our joy and consolation." The
governor, however, regrets the sudden death of the APC governorship
candidate in Kogi State, Prince Audu, saying that death of the APC
gubernatorial candidate came when no one expected it, but God knew why
He allowed it to happened few poles to his coming back as governor of
that state."

According to him, the death of Audu should also be a lesson to all of
us to appreciate our limitations as human beings. We are all pencils
in the hand of the creator.
