Late Audu Never Stole Kogi’s Money - Dino Melaye
\A senator representing Kogi-West, Dino Melaye has said late
Abubakar Audu never embezzled the alleged N11bn EFCC accused him of stealing while
in office. According to Melaye, the late politician was a faithful, down to
earth man who had transformed Kogi State when he was in power.
“How can a man who received N17bn in less than four years
steal N11bn? This was a man who paid pensioners, did not owe workers and
carried out a big infrastructural development in the state. What has the EFCC
been investigating since 2003? It is all politics. Audu never stole Kogi’s
money. This
was a man who built Kogi State University, Kogi State Polytechnic, Obajana Cement Factory and signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Dangote Cement. Audu built all the institutions that exist in the state today,” he said while speaking during a late show on the African Independent Television .

When asked if Late Audu was poisoned, Melaye said;
‘‘I cannot say he was poisoned. I will not say what I do not
know. God is the only one who sees everything. I can only weep. For him, it was
the end of a cycle.’’
