Fatima Abubakar Audu, the wife of the late All
Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate for
the November 21 election in Kogi State, Prince Abubakar
Audu, has said that life has not been easy for her since
her husband died.
Fatima spoke after a special prayer session held to mark
the end of the 130 day mourning period (Takaba) in her
late husband’s country home in Ogbonicha.
She said the mourning period has been ‘therapeutic’,
adding that it afforded her the opportunity to reflect on
her life, the future and also come to terms with the
reality that her husband is no more.
“This mourning period has made me to come to terms
with the fact that my husband is no more. I have used
this period to reflect on my life, my late husband and the
future. But I know that even though he is not with me
physically, he is with me in the spirit. I give thanks to
Allah, who has been my strength”, he said.
She also commended members of her late husband’s
family, government and people of Kogi State for their
support and encouragement.
“The children have been so supportive; they showed me
love. Also, my mum has been there for me. I also want
to use this medium to thank the APC women, especially
James Faleke’s wife; she has been really supportive and I
want all Kogi women to know that all hope is not loss.
Everything happens for a reason but God has the final
say”, she said.
Also speaking, younger brother to the late politician,
Prince Yahaya Audu, expressed appreciation to President
Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo,
government and people of Kogi State for standing by
them during their trying moment.
On his part, paramount ruler of Ogbonicha, Chief Tijani
Audu, said the late politician died while struggling to
bring emancipation to the masses and urged his
successor to build on the legacies he left behind.
