Kogi State APC Chairman, Alhaji Hadi Ametuo, has
assured Kogi people that his party’s candidate in
the forthcoming governorship poll, Prince Audu
Abubakar, would return the over N11 billion he
allegedly stole while in office.
Audu is being prosecuted by the anti-graft agency,
EFCC, for misappropriating N11 billion of the
states’s funds while he was governor between
1999 and 2003.
Responding to the questions from the media
regarding Audu’s 11billion naira EFCC case, he
said “Nobody is a saint. No governor can claim he
has not done any malpractice or stolen anything
during his time in the office.
“We heard of Saraki’s case, even Tinubu is being
accused of stealing funds but the truth is that
Prince Abubakar Audu has pledged to return the
money to the Kogi treasury when he gets elected
on the November 21st, yes he will return the
11billion naira or even more than that and that
will add to the Kogi economy”.
Ametuo, who rated Audu’s first term in the office
more than the current government of Capt. Idris
Wada, added that Audu deserved the electoral
votes of the Kogi people due to his experience
and achievements in his first time at the Lugard
House.
