Abuja - The Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) on
Monday affirmed that the Late
Abubakar Audu remains the candidate
of the All Progressives Congress (APC)
in the Kogi State governorship election,
reports Vanguard.
INEC’s position came after a meeting of
senior INEC officials in Abuja called to
ponder possible options on the issue
was temporarily aborted after news
emerged that Audu had ‘resurrected.
In taking the decision, the commission
said it was ignorant of Audu’s death.
The commission said it will take a new
position on the inconclusive election
when the APC officially notifies the
commission of Audu’s death.
The commission, through its Director of
Voter Education, Publicity, Civil Society
and Gender Liaison at the Commission,
Oluwole Osaze-Uzi, said it is
meticulously studying the situation
with a view to coming up with an
appropriate position that would be fair,
lawful and acceptable to all.
