Kogi State APC Chairman, Alhaji Hadi Ametuo, has assured Kogi people
that his party’s candidate in the forthcoming governorship poll, Prince
Audu Abubakar, would return the over N11 billion he allegedly stole
while in office.
Audu is being prosecuted by the anti-graft
agency, EFCC, for misappropriating N11 billion of the states’s funds
while he was governor between 1999 and 2003.
Responding to the
questions from the media regarding Audu’s 11billion naira EFCC case, he
said “Nobody is a saint. No governor can claim he has not done any
malpractice or stolen anything during
his time in the office.
“We
heard of Saraki’s case, even Tinubu is being accused of stealing funds
but the truth is that Prince Abubakar Audu has pledged to return the
money to the Kogi treasury when he gets elected on the November 21st,
yes he will return the 11billion naira or even more than that and that
will add to the Kogi economy”.
Ametuo, who rated Audu’s first
term in the office more than the current government of Capt. Idris Wada,
added that Audu deserved the electoral votes of the Kogi people due to
his experience and achievements in his first time at the Lugard House.
