Prince Abubakar Audu, first Executive Governor of Kogi State was born on 27 October 1947, to the family of his Royal Highness, the late Pa Audu Oyidi, Orego Atta of Igala Land and the paramount ruler of Ogbonicha-Alloma in Ofu Local Government Area of Kogi State.
He started his education at the then N.A. Junior Primary School, Alloma, and later N.A Senior School Ankpa, from where he proceeded to Dennis Memorial Grammar School, Onitsha. He later transferred to the Jos Commercial College where he obtained both the GCE O and A level.[2]

Now you know why Afis is happy that Audu is dead. Is Ayo Ojuotele also jubilating?

To: africanw...@googlegroups.comI know that Audu spoke Igbo fluently and in fact I know he grew up in Onitsha. I also know that there are Igbo in Kogi who are indigenes of that state but I never actually knew that Audu was one. Now I know the reason for his warm welcome to Umuigbo from the East.

Grew up in Onitsha, studied briefly at Dennis Memorial Grammar School, and then at a commercial school in Jos following the civil war; and the rest is history. He has done his bit on earth. I suspect his death would be from a massive cardiac arrest. He looked quite unfit and heavy, and his face showed signs of a possible, long condition of diabetes/High BP. I will doubt that anybody poisoned him. But of course, stranger things also happen.Obi NwakanmaOn Monday, November 23, 2015 10:04 AM, "walead...@yahoo.com [NaijaObserver]" <NaijaO...@yahoogroups.com> wrote:
Re: Tinubu Others, Kill Kogi Guber Candidate- Okorocha. My attention has been drawn to the above story which is trending on social media. When I first read the concocted tale full of thrash and libel told by enemies of democracy, my initial decision was to ignore it but on a second thought I have decided to put the record straight. The story which is written in poor English purported that Gov Rochas Okorocha, the Chairman of Progressive Governors Forum gave an interview where he accused Tinubu of being behind the death of Kogi state APC candidate, late Prince Abubakar Audu. Firstly Gov Rochas Okorocha spent the better part of yesterday, Sunday 22nd November, 2015 till about 7 pm chairing a stakeholders forum of South-East Leaders and returned to Owerri same night, it is bewildering where and when he gave the interview which thrended same night on social media? Secondly, Prince Abubakar Audu is not yet a member of APC Governors Forum and Gov Okorocha could not have granted the interview on that score. The family of Prince Abubakar Audu has not blamed anyone for the death of their son neither is Gov Okorocha a member of the Audu family. The story was written as an interview Governor Okorocha granted yet no medium was mentioned. Can one grant interview to thin air? The purported interview is a wicked machination of people who are envious of the towering profile of Gov Rochas Okorocha and aim at bringing him at loggerheads with leaders of the Party especially Sen Bola Tinubu, a former Governor of Lagos State and a man Gov Okorocha holds in very high esteem. It is also remarkable that the story has no source but emanated from the Facebook wall of a PDP apologist who must have been paid by her handlers to cause disaffection within APC family. The story started by referring to Gov Okorocha as a former Special Adviser to former President Obasanjo on Inter -Party Affairs, an office he held several years ago indicating that the authors do not know him well enough. I wish at this point to remind the harbingers of libelous, concocted and devious news on social media that there is now a law on social media as the liberty enjoyed casting aspersions on people has ended.

Bolaji Aluko:
There isn’t that much difference in the brief bio of the departed Prince Abubakar Audu you provided from that of Obi Nwakanma except the words, “was an Igbo”. Other embellishment, that is, “is indeed "Igbo'' - ethnically, culturally or politically?” were added by you. Even without you adding those embellishment, most readers know the man was an Igala Prince from Kogi State. He couldn’t have been Igbo. So, don’t make a mountain out of a mole hill.
Cheers.

This is what your angst is all about; that, “Nwakanma calls part of Kogi an igbo area,..” and for that, you are shitting and peeing in your pants. I hope you don’t go into fearful cardiac arrest on a account of Nwanna Dr. Obi Nwakanma.
