Nigerians on Twitter have joined other eminent personalities in the nation to pay tribute to the late Kogi’s All Progressive Congress (APC) governorship candidate in last Saturday’s election, Prince Abubakar Audu.
Tributes and opinions written about his death, rumoured resurrection and eventual burial have been making wave on the social media, thus making his name #Audu alongside #Kogi trend on Twitter (Nigeria Trends) for the past three days.
Below are some of the tweets:
Breath sapping and convulsive trepidation….that Audu Abubakar died as we narrowed our heads up to make him governor. Vanity, all is Vanity

I am taking the Audu commiseration statements from #PDP and #PMB with a large pinch of unrefined ocean-type salinity.

If Audu is dead I need to start respecting Kogi people more. Ah ahn… Small play like this and you people have deleted somebody’s daddy

Many Nigerians need to recover their common sense. Audu confirmed dead – R.I.P Audu has risen from the dead – Yeeah What’s wrong with us?
— Lauretta Onochie (@Laurestar) November 24, 2015
Why exactly would anyone want to revive Audu though?

Audu’s death a huge shock- Oshiomohole. Especially to all old men who married new wives hoping for new lease on life

Mugabe’s wife looking for a special wheelchair for him to continue to rule. Kogi people are now asking, "Did we bury Audu too quickly?"

Audu buried amidst resurrection rumours

Buhari’s media team made statements on Abubakar Audu’s Death. Same day, Boko Haram killed over 20 Nigerians. Not a word from Government.
