I Am Still In APC, My Relationship With Wada Is Personal – Governor Audu

Former Governor of Kogi State, Prince Abubakar Audu, has debunked speculations that he has dumped the All Progressives Congress, APC, for the ruling People’s Democratic Party, PDP.

He told The Nation that it was wrong for some persons to say he had dumped the APC because he stood alongside the state governor, Captain Idris Wada, during the groundbreaking ceremony of the Kogi Unity House in Abuja.


Audu stated that he was not amongst “bread and butter politicians” who move from one party to the other.

“I remain in APC, I have been a friend to Governor Wada for about 40 years and when a party has won an election, I will not say I no longer belong to the state, that is for political jobbers and idlers who have nothing to offer”, he said.

“When a party wins in an election, it is incumbent on all to join hands and move the state forward. Do you see that, in say America that when an incumbent wins in an election, all other opposition should deny them?”, he added.

On his purported endorsement of Wada, a PDP governor, he called for discernment, saying he was not one to jump from one political party to another.

He said, “I am one politician that has never left my party for another. Governor Wada came to visit me and nobody said he dumped PDP and I wonder where all these came from. I remain in APC and nothing can change that”.
