the shocking death of Abubakar Audu, the gubernatorial
candidate of the All Progressives Congress.
According to Sahara Reporters, Audu died around 5 am on
Sunday, November 22. In what was considered a bizarre
occurrence, his health had suddenly started to deteriorate on
the night of Friday, November 20 when he started vomiting
blood.
A family source said: “ He started vomiting blood after he
returned from Lokoja,”
The family source said that the late politician was very tired
on the morning of the Election Day, Saturday, November 21
and doctors had to give him blood transfusion which
provided him with enough strength to go to his home town
in Ogbonicha to cast his vote.
The source added that when he returned to his home, he
started vomiting again.
“After a while he became unconscious and died around 5 a.m.
on Sunday morning,”
According to the source, Audu had died before the collation
and announcement of the result of the election which was
later declared inconclusive by the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC)
An INEC source also said that INEC officials were aware of
Audu’s death before the announcement of the results. The
late politician is expected to be buried on Monday,
November 23 in his home town according to Islamic rites
Meanwhile, Nigerians took to social media to express their
grief and dismay over the news of the death of Audu with
some praying for his soul to rest in peace.
