A youth group within the All Progressives Congress, Kogi Youths for Probity, KYB, has dissociated itself from the candidate of the party, calling the candidature of Prince Audu “an aberration of the ideals of a progressive party”.
Speaking to a select group of journalists in Lokoja, yesterday, the Director of Public Communications of the group, Mr. Tony Shaibu said the group has resolved not to be part of the Audu project due to the unresolved alleged acts of corruption around him.
“We want the world to know that we remain members of the All Progressives Congress. We came together to campaign for the candidature of President Muhammadu Buhari because of his stance on corruption. Buhari remains an incorruptible leader respected by all.
“There is no doubt in the fact that Idris Wada has failed the people of Kogi State. But the decision of the National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress to ignore several intelligence reports by fielding Audu will spell doom for the party.
“As men of integrity, we found it difficult to back someone who has allegations of corruption woven around his neck. Though Prince Abubakar Audu has not been convicted, he hasn’t been cleared either.
“Our idea of a governor of Kogi State is someone who is credible, incorruptible and democratic. Audu, by our own perception, lacks these qualities. However, we remain solidly behind the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari and his fight against corruption”.
