The national leader of the All Progressives Congress(APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has condoled with the family of Prince Abubakar Audu over his sudden demise. The condolence was contained in a statement signed by Tinubu. According to the Tinubu, " The sudden death of Prince Abubakar Audu is sorrowful and shocking. He died before his time. This is a wrenching loss that saddens me greatly. Prince Audu’s death reminds us of our mortality. None of us are on this earth forever. While here, we must make positive impact. We must strive towards good.



"I first knew Prince Audu Abubakar roughly 30 years. He was a good friend. A good man. Some may not have known this but Prince Audu was a renowned financial expert well-known in banking circles before his entry into politics. From banking to politics, Prince Audu became a dominant feature of our national landscape. He was an industrious man and a determined, hardworking leader with few equals. He was consummate in the art of politics. Yet, Audu was also dedicated to the betterment of his people. He was an honorary title holder of Lagos, honored by the late Oba of Lagos, Oba Oyekan.



"Very kind, generous and at ease with his friends and with the people, Audu wanted to make his state a better place. That was his driving concern. His people loved him because of this and he loved them in return. He was a man of great vision, committed to the Nigerian project and committed to the well-being of his people. He loved Kogi passionately. As was his character, Prince Audu gave his all during this election campaign because he wanted to move Kogi to a better place.



"His death is painful and has stunned us his friends, political associates and particularly his family. My heart reaches out to his loved ones. My prayers are with them. May God comfort them as only He can during this sad period. And may they take solace in the fact that Prince Audu was an outstanding figure and great leader of men. They have a right to be proud of who he was.


"We must serve his memory well by continuing to serve the people and by carrying on as he would want us to do. We celebrate his life and times. Both his deeds and dreams will outlive him no doubt. I sympathize with the people of Kogi State on the passing of their illustrious son, who was such a colorful and progressive politician. Whenever the history of Kogi politics, nay Nigerian politics, is written it will be remembered that a Prince of the Niger was once here."

Hmm after killing funsho Williams ,I didn't hear this o .Jagbagan thr killer

What a heartfelt piece from Jagaban!

Am tired

He really gave his all, no wonder he dropped dead.

Politics in Nigeria is now Permanently Life and Death Toggle and Maiming anyone from the masses to the Political Party Aspirants...

Hope an autopsy was carried out on Audus body?

This death doesn't seem natural!

Igala people should not just sweep this issue under the carpet. If not for anything but to prevent a recurrence!

I rest my case!

Jagaban of africa. The man that single handedly re packaged a once unelectable PMB and bankrolled him to Aso Rock with his boy as VP.

its obvious he killed the man. always over ambitious, why not start from deputy first

*clears throat*

Well said

Hahahahahaha I dey laugh ooooooooooo but I commiserate with the deceased family
Only God knows what is hiding but I don't think Tinubu can kill Audu though I'm not Tinubu fans but Audu has been dine and wine with Tinubu since 2007 since AC days before ACN and APC

Hmmmmmmn, the vanity of life. Talking on the allegation against tinubu as the killer, as a Yoruba boy, am aware of something that can be done to prove the killer of a deceased person. The igalas should try such out too.

Prince of Niger R.i.p

Bro,stop reasoning like those Igbo bigots.They dont see any good in other people nt even people of their own house. Reason like them at your own peril.

If Tinubu really wanted Audu dead in other to give way for his deputy. Why didnt he wait until Audu had been sworn in.? Dnt u think it would have made more sense? Besided, the deputy can even stay more terms a la gej style.

Feck you, bro!

Mogidi:
Buhari is next on Tinubu's hit list.

No offence, but you're very stoopid!

crocodile dey cry.

ACN and APC

Sometimes I try to understand somethings.... must we say wrong things or tell lies against the dead just because we want to glorify their life.....how can tinubu say audu was a good man.. someone that confessed to looting 11 billion naira... some one whose scrupulous deeds have been exposed.. even a child knows he is not a very good man.....


when will truth start being an important part of our society? until this happens, then we are not going to progress.

Opin aye...... Uwa mmebi

Audu confessed to you personally that he looted N11billion right? How can a liar like you be talking about truth? Jeez! Hypocrites everywhere.
