National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and a former governor of Lagos, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on Monday said the death of Prince Abubakar Audu stunned his friends, political associate and particularly the family he left behind.
In a condolence message he issued through his media office, Tinubu stated that his death was painful, sorrowful and shocking, saying Prince Audu’s demise reminds us of our mortality.
“None of us are on this earth forever. While here, we must make positive impact. We must strive toward good. I knew Prince Audu roughly 30 years. He was a good friend. A good man. Some may not have known this but Prince Audu was a renowned financial expert well known in banking circles before his entry into politics.
Tinubu also described late Audu “an industrious man and a determined, hardworking leader with few equals. He was consummate in the art of politics. Yet, Audu was also dedicated to the betterment of his people.”
“Audu wanted to make his state a better place. That was his driving concern. His people loved him because of this and he loved them in return. He was a man of great vision, committed to the Nigerian project and committed to the well-being of his people. He loved Kogi passionately. As was his character, Prince Audu gave his all during this election because he wanted to move Kogi to a better place,” he added.
