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.

Source Of Former Kogi Governor, Audu Abubakar Reveals (DETAILS)
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 Saturday 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.”
