The All Progressive Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Kogi State, Prince Abubakar Audu, is dead.

He died on Sunday, shortly  after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared the state governorship election as inconclusive.

A  source close to the ex-Kogi governor confirmed his death on Sunday.

The APC National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, told CEOAfrica source that , the party is trying to establish contact with the deceased’s family.

Audu was on the verge of a sensational return to the Kogi Government House before INEC ordered a supplementary election in some local government areas because of perceived irregularities.
