Prince Mustapha Mona Audu, a gubernatorial aspirant seeking the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket, has debunked rumours suggesting that he has backed out of the contest.

In a statement issued on Monday, Mona insisted that he is focused on becoming Governor of Kogi state.

The statement signed by Ibrahim Ufedo stated that Prince Mona is fully in the race and is well prepared for the primary elections.

“Interestingly, Mohammed Audu has been advised to step down for Mona based on his popularity and acceptability across the state. Also, it is worth stating here that out of the ten children of Late Prince Abubakar Audu, Seven stand with PMMA and the remaining two abstained from political involvement. However, it is prime we mention that the seat of Lugard house is not based on inheritance but purely due to Capacity, Competence and popularity.

“It is no more news that Prince Mona is enjoying the love and acceptance of the masses, elders, party stalwarts and major stakeholders in Kogi state. His philanthropic gestures and interest in human capital development count volumes for him as the most credible persona.

“We hereby plead with all aspirants to shun politics of prejudice and compete for the position on a level playing ground, to test their popularity. We will not stand for thug, blackmail, harassment, intimidation and manipulation of any kind.

“To all our supporters and Kogites; we want to assure you that we shall continue to fight for succor and liberation of our dear state. We will not surrender or bow to any pressure, for our faith is in God who is the actual maker of leadership,” the statement read.
