Audu’s Replacement: APC Submits Yahaya Bello's Name To INEC

Yahaya Bello

The leading All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Kogi State Governorship Election has submitted the name of Yahaya Bello to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the party’s new candidate for Prince Abubakar Audu's replacement for the supplementary poll.

Yahaya Bello replaces Prince Abubakar Audu, who died last weekend after leading the poll with 41,000. Also APC has retained Hon. James Abiodun Faleke as the party’s deputy governorship candidate.

Mohammed Audu, the son of the late governorship candidate, was dumped by the party because the party felt that fielding him might vitiate the entire governorship poll in the state.
