A group known as” Prince Abubakar Audu Political Family,” has alleged that the late All Progressives Congress governorship candidate was killed by anti democratic forces to stall the development of the state and keep the people under their grip.
In a statement issued by the group and signed by Dr Tom Ohikere in Lokoja on Tuesday,the group explained that the utterances of some people during the campaigns were still fresh in their memories.
According to the statement, “It was the same elements that killed the touch-bearer of Ebira land, Senator A T Ahmed in their desperate bid to put the area in disarray,” that are responsible for Audu’s death.
While he appealed to the people of the state to rise and complete what their leader, Prince Audu started by supporting the APC, Ohikere equally urged them not to allow enemies of the state realise their wish to sustain their grip perpetually on the state.
“we can not be swayed by their crocodile tears. We see beyond their pretenses. We know how they have been celebrating what we see as momentary victory,” the statement added.
The group said it appreciated the teeming supporters and admirers of the late politician for the heroic burial accorded him,describing his sudden death as shocking.
The political associates of the late statesman also said they were overwhelmed by the crowd that thronged Ogbonicha, the country home of Prince Audu on Monday to pay their last respect, urging supporters to keep the memory of the late politician alive.
