How APC Guber Candidate, Abubakar Audu Of Kogi, Died by simongonner: 8:56pm On Nov 22, 2015
SaharaReporters has learned that Abubakar
Audu, the governorship candidate of the All
Progressives Party (APC) in yesterday's
election in Kogi State, died as early as 5 a.m.
Nigerian time on Sunday.
According to family sources, Mr. Audu started
vomiting blood on Friday night in what family
sources described as a bizarre deterioration in
his health condition. One of the family
sources described the late controversial
politician as hypertensive.
"He started vomiting blood after he returned
from Lokoja," said the family source who
witnessed Mr. Audu’s deterioration.
He added that Mr. Audu woke up very tired on
Saturday, the day of the governorship election.
He said doctors had given the former governor
blood transfusion which gave him enough
energy to go to the polling booth to vote in
his hometown, Ogbonicha.
According to the source, Mr. Audu returned to
his home on Saturday and began vomiting
again. "After a while he became unconscious
and died around 5 a.m. on Sunday morning,"
said the source, who requested anonymity.
The family's timeline of Mr. Audu's death
indicated that he passed on before officials of
the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) started collation and
announcement of results.
A source at INEC told SaharaReporters that
electoral officials knew of Mr. Audu’s death
before they announced the results of his
election inconclusive on Sunday.
Mr. Audu was a former governor of Kogi who
was accused of stealing billions of naira from
the state's treasury. SaharaReporters had
exposed a multi-million dollar home bought by
the ex-governor in Potomac, Maryland near
Washington, DC.
The APC chose Mr. Audu as its governorship
candidate despite the fact that he was being
tried for money laundering and embezzlement
of state funds by the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Mr. Audu will be buried tomorrow according to
islamic rites in his hometown. www.saharareporters.com/2015/11/22/how-apc-guber-candidate-abubakar-audu-kogi-died

Vanity of Vanity, All Nah Vanities.



The question I asked myself the first I met this man was "what does he still want"?

He's old.

Looks sick.

And yet he didn't want to retire.

Too bad he died without paying back the money he stole.

If 2 say nah deziani, some people for say make em carry am go meet TB Joshua make he wake her.
