The governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano has described the recent passage the late gubernatorial candidate of the APC, Prince Abubakar Audu, as a huge loss to Nigeria, saying that the former governor of Kogi State who had dominated politics in the state for over a decade died when Nigeria needed his wisdom and experience most.

In a statement signed by James Eze, Senior Special Assistant on Media, Governor Obiano expressed his deepest condolences to the Audu family, the people of Kogi State and the members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the sudden passage of the former governor who was a top contender in last Saturday’s gubernatorial election in Kogi State.

Obiano who expressed shock at the sudden demise of the frontline politician further observed that “Prince Audu personified the political struggles of his people for quality governance all through his life, leaving an indelible mark on the memory of the people that the future generation will strive to emulate.”

According to him, Prince Audu “gave politics as much as he got from it in equal measure; playing by the book and rising through the finest traditions of democracy to become a beacon of hope for the masses of Kogi people. He was consumed by the passion to serve and make the world a better place for the Kogi people. He never quite got tired of trying to make a difference in their lives. He died in the very attempt to make a difference. Audu will be sorely missed by everyone who loves democracy and all lovers of humanity,” he concluded

Governor Obiano consequently urged the members of his family, the people of Kogi State and the members of APC to take heart as Audu’s death was not only their loss but a serious set-back to Nigeria’s nascent democracy.

He prayed that God would give his family, his shell-shocked supporters, the APC leadership and members as well as the great people of Kogi State the fortitude to bear the heavy loss of Prince Abubakar Audu.
