Abubakar Audu, APC's Governorship candidate in Kogi State last moments

According to Sahara Reporters, the gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi state, Mr. Abubakar Audu is dead. Mr. Audu died of undisclosed medical reasons shortly after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared his victory at the elections inconclusive.
He is pictured above just yesterday while casting his vote.

According to the National Enquirer, family sources told them Prince Abubakar Audu's health predicament began yesterday when he was said to have complained of stomach cramps before going to bed.

“He complained of stomach cramps last night, Saturday, November, 21st, 2015 and we
all thought it’s something normal owing to the stress of the forthcoming election, but he went to bed and nothing happened”, the source told National Enquirer.

We gathered reliably that trouble started however when Prince Audu woke up this morning looking very pale and jittery, he subsequently suffered stroke this morning around 9am but was slightly okay and was able to manage his health to the polling booth where he got accredited and later voted. 

The source told National Enquirer that, the politician who was said to be 72 years old had been so anxious about the outcome of the election so much so that, he kept compelling his aides to get feedbacks from all LGs and by all possible means.

Later in the afternoon, after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared the election inconclusive, Audu suffered another stroke and when people around him sensed that, it was getting out of hand, they decided to rush him to Abuja for necessary medical attention in a bid to save his life “by fire by force” and it was on their way to Abuja that he died of cardiac arrest.
While another source says:

Family sources have revealed how APC governorship candidate, Audu Abubakar died yesterday Sunday November 22nd, hours before INEC declared the state governorship election inconclusive. A member of the late politicians family said Audu started vomiting blood on Saturday November 21st, the day of the election. He was so weak and had blood transfusion to enable him go to his polling unit to vote.

His condition however deteriorated on Sunday morning when he suffered a stroke and died at his home in Ogbonicha. "After a while he became unconscious and died around 5 a.m. on Sunday morning," the family source said. He will be buried today according to Islamic rites.




It would be recalled that, the politician had faced tough and stringent criticism over his candidacy as the APC guber aspirant for the Kogi 2015 election with so many groups kicking against his candidature and even integrity due to the account of his last stewardship.

The 72 year old is survived by 12 wives and children. May his soul rest in perfect peace.
