Governor of Oyo State, Senator Isiaq Abiola Ajimobi, has said that the best way to keep alive the memory of the late Prince Abubakar Audu is for the people of the state to ensure that the APC emerges the winner of the forthcoming supplementary election.
A statement in Ibadan issued by the office of secretary to the state government quoted Ajimobi describing the late two-time governor of Kogi State as a democrat and kindred spirit, who always wanted the best for his people.
While lamenting Audu’s unfortunate demise during Kogi State’s governorship elections, the statement prayed for the repose of his soul and wished the family, state and the APC family the fortitude to bear his irreplaceable loss.
It said: “The palpably favourable response of stakeholders and voters to his governorship candidacy during last Saturday’s election is a testimonial to their love for him and his good works in the service of the people.
“From the trend of the results announced from most voting centres by INEC before the stalemate, it is apparent that the people of Kogi State loved Audu, so much that they wanted him and his party, the APC to form the next government in Kogi State.
“Notwithstanding the unfortunate death of the Prince, the people of the Confluence State must remain committed to his great vision and modernist plans for a greater Kogi State, in which the security, welfare and good life of all stakeholders are paramount.”
