The Caterpillar Sarkin Aiki of Kogi State, His Excellency, late Prince Abubakar Audu would have been 70 years old yesterday, 27th October, 2017. His sudden death has continued to cause pain to the majority of Kogites who have become like IDP .
It is with a profound sense of loss and yet gratitude to God whose will in our lives we cannot question, that I, on behalf of my family, write to condole the family and people of Kogi State on the death of our elder statesman who was coasting home to victory in the last gubernatorial election.
Although, I heard he was in poor health for some time after he voted for himself at his polling unit, his death nonetheless, came as a profound shock.
I greatly value his counsel and I never cease to be amazed by his concern for the well-being of his state rather than his personal interests.
Let me extend my sincere condolences to the family and friends, the government and people of Kogi state and Nigerians as a whole for this most heavy loss.
He was an avowed and highly respected personality, a core democrat, fearless politician, exceptional orator and an accomplished public servant. We shall not soon see the like of him. May God forgive his sins and admit him to Paradise.
