Late Prince Abubakar Audu’s son,
Mona Mustapha Audu, has thrown his hat into the ring for the November
gubernatorial election in Kogi State, pledging that he would sustain the
political ideals of his father which focused on infrastructural and human capital
development.
Speaking in Abuja on Wednesday on
his ambition to govern Kogi State, Audu, who is contesting the governorship
under the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), stated that
poverty and underdevelopment have become a brand in Kogi State for almost four
years.
According to him, his father has
always been prudent with the state resources hence was able to address poverty
and underdevelopment, adding that he would toe the same path.
“I am in politics to address the
challenges of poverty and underdevelopment.
“Today, workers are owed several
months of salaries; some are committing suicide, children are out of school.
“There is gross infrastructural
decay, there is poverty everywhere. This shouldn’t be because of the abundant
human and natural resources available in our state.
“Some of us have taken up the
challenge to get Kogi State working again. We are going to restore the pride of
our people.
“We want to provide qualitative
healthcare system, quality education and develop other critical infrastructure
for the comfort of our people. That is why we have come; I will build on the
legacies of my late father,” he insisted.
