Kogi guber: Kalu urges APC to replace Audu with son

Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu

Former governor of Abia State, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, has appealed to the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to replace the late Abubakar Audu with his son, Mohammed, in the December 5 supplementary governorship election in Kogi State.
He also pleaded with the APC National Executive Committee (NEC), President Muhammadu Buhari and the party’s National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, to see Mohammed’s choice as a perfect replacement for the late Audu.
Kalu, who made the appeal yesterday in London, where he is attending a Commonwealth conference on business, said it would be a befitting tribute to the memory of the Prince of Lokoja.
He said: “Mohammed’s candidacy is the only way to immortalise his father’s name in acknowledgement of his innumerable contributions to the transformation of the APC and the development of Kogi State.
“Substituting Abubakar Audu with Mohammed will foreclose any intra-party squabbles that could arise following fresh primaries as planned by the party. Mohammed is eminently qualified to assume this arduous role.”
