“His Excellency, Muhammadu Buhari has therefore ordered the removal of his pictures from the campaign materials of Prince Audu Abubakar and has directed the Director General Prince Audu Abubakar Campaign Organization to comply with this directive effective immediately,” the statement signed by presidential media aide Femi Adesina, said.
The president had backed out of the National campaign committee of Prince Abubakar Audu at a recent meeting with the APC stakeholders, owing to the integrity of the candidate and his unconvinced answer to the allegation of the embezzlement of N11 billion by the EFCC.
Vice President Yemi Osibanjo, who was said to have been made head of the National Campaign Committee for the coming Kogi governorship election for APC, reportedly opted out at the last minute of the inauguration of the committee in Abuja, apparently due to similar reasons. The APC Chairman, Chief John Odigie Oyegun, had since appointed Governor Abubakar Bello of Niger State as the chairman of the campaign committee in place of Osinbajo.
