Bola Ahmed Tinubu, former governor of Kogi State, Audu Abubakar, an
unidentified member of the APC and Chief Bisi Akande one of the
leaders of the APC during a meeting with President Elect, General
Muhammadu Buhari before the May 29 inauguration
A group by the name, Kogi United Forum has called on the Inspector
General of Police to commence immediate investigation into what it
described as the suspected assassination of Prince Abubakar Audu a
former governor of Kogi State and gubernatorial candidate of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) in the November 21, gubernatorial election
in Kogi State.
The group in a statement signed by its National President, Tunde Aina
is accusing the National Leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu
of allegedly masterminding the assassination of the late Audu.
Audu, it was gathered started vomiting blood shortly after casting his
vote on Saturday and sharing a meal with the APC National Leader, Bola
Ahmed Tinubu in Lokoja. Audu eventually passed on at about 6 am on
Sunday morning while election results were being collated.
Efforts by his family members to make the news public was truncated as
Tinubu advised against it on the premise that it could work against
the APC, should his death be announced early.
Tinubu, for whatever intents and purposes was hoping Audu would be
announced winner after which his running mate, Hon. Abiodun Faleke, a
member of the House of Representatives, representing Ikeja Federal
Constituency of Lagos State who was single-handedly handpicked by
Tinubu as Audu's running mate would then be declared governor.
The question we are asking is simple: who would have been the biggest
beneficiary of the death of Audu seeing that he was already reported
to be leading the polls and coasting home to victory?
The Kogi United Forum smells a huge rat in the untidy events that have
played out in the death of Audu and therefore demands the following:
"The immediate investigation of the death of Abubakar Audu as a case
of cold-blooded murder and political assassination.
"That the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC),
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu be immediately arrested by the Nigerian Police and
investigated thoroughly for the murder of Audu."
