Governorship candidate of All Progressives Congress, APC, Prince Abubakar Audu has described the Senator representing Kogi Central, Alhaji Mohammed Salami Ohiare as having outlived his political usefulness.
According to Prince Audu, Senator Ohiare has no reason to complain, along with other politicians, about the choice of Honourable James Abiodun Faleke as his running mates in the November governorship election under the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC).
Reacting to Ohiare’s earlier statement condemning him, Prince Audu’s media aide, Suleiman Abdulmalik said the accusations by Senator Ohiare and his group are baseless and lacked substance.
He said that politician like Senator Ohiare has outlived his usefulness in the state politics, adding that majority of the defeated aspirants are working tireless for the success of the party whereas some of them were blinded by their naked ambition.
“So they should leave Audu out of their political predicament.”
The statement said that politics is all about dialogue and consultation and that, Prince Audu’s door is wide open to all stakeholders in the state in the interest of the party.
On the defection of Alhaji Yahaya Bello to Social Democratic Party (SDP), Prince Audu said that such move would not affect the chances of APC.
“Politics is all about grass root and that is where Prince Audu’s strength lies, Bello is just a rabble rouser seeking for attention, Audu defeated him in primary and he will still defeat him again at the general election” he said. [myad]
