Senator Dino Melaye,representing Kogi West Senatorial district said the late Audu Abubakar has been trustworthy to the people of Kogi state and he didn't embezzle the N11bn EFCC accused him of in 2003.

“How can a man who received N17bn in less than four years steal N11bn? This was a man who paid pensioners, did not owe workers and carried out a big infrastructural development in the state. What has the EFCC been investigating since 2003? It is all politics. Audu never stole Kogi’s money. This was a man who built Kogi State University, Kogi State Polytechnic, Obajana Cement Factory and signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Dangote Cement. Audu built all the institutions that exist in the state today,” he said while speaking during a late show on the African Independent Television .

When asked if Late Audu was poisoned, Melaye said;

‘‘I cannot say he was poisoned. I will not say what I do not know. God is the only one who sees everything. I can only weep. For him, it was the end of a cycle.’’
