Kogi East All Progressives Congress (APC) elders have passed a vote of no confidence on a former governor of the state and leader of the party, Prince Abubakar Audu, for the way he is handling the affairs of the party.

This was contained in a communiqué issued and signed by all the APC elders in Kogi East at the end of their meeting held at Ome Hotel, Egume, Dekina Local Government Area of Kogi State.

They alleged that Audu committed several offences which led them to take the decision.

Some of the members that took the decision were Senator Alex Kadiri, Chief John S. Odawn, Ocholi James (SAN), Alhaji Abdul Kaka and Hon. Positive Ihiabe and others.

They accused Audu of handling the affairs of the party just like his personal estate.

“Prince Abubakar has hijacked the APC party machinery to his personal benefit.

“His unilateral decisions and actions on party issues have created bad blood in the party – a situation that is threatening to tear the party apart.

“He was, indeed, solely responsible for the loss of 14 seats in the Kogi State House of Assembly Election of 11th April. 2015. Prince Abubakar removes, suspends and replaces elected party officials at his whim and caprices”, said the elders

They also alleged that Audu directed a man to slap the APC woman leader in Kogi State.

“Abubakar Audu is very much high-handed; for instance, he at a meeting in his house, directed a man to slap the State Woman Leader of the party, Hajia Rabi Haruna for no just cause.

“The party is heading for imminent collapse if it is left to remain under the leadership of Prince Abubakar Audu.

“In conclusion,  we decided to pass a vote of no confidence on Prince Abubakar Audu. Hence-forth, the elders of the Kogi East APC will not recognize him as the leader of the party in the state.”

The elder’s statement is coming on the heels of Audu’s declaration to run for governor of the state.

It would be recalled that Kogi Central APC elders also issued a communiqué against Audu few weeks ago.

Efforts made to reach Audu proved abortive as his phone was switch off at the time of going to press.
