After nearly two years, eldest son of Prince Abubakar Audu, Mohammed, has finally revealed the cause of his father’s death.

Speaking in an interview with The Sun on Thursday, Mohammed said his late father died of ulcer and not spiritual attack as widely reported across the country.

Audu passed away on November 22, 2015, during the Kogi State governorship election, which was declared inconclusive by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

He said, “We didn’t grow up to believe in any spiritual attack. More so, I know that he died of bleeding peptic ulcer. I knew he was under pressure, I knew a lot of things went wrong at the time, but then, as for the election, he was coasting home to victory.

“Not that he was going to win; he had won. It was just for the miscalculation of INEC that made them to say it was inconclusive. But in my opinion, he had won fair and square.

“The family is good. We are just trying to put the pieces together,” Mohammed said on how the family is copping in Audu’s absence.

“You know when the head of the family goes like this, the process of recovery and trying to step into his shoes is not exactly very easy.

“So, we are all pulling together, trying our best to see how we can come out of the shock and continue with his legacy.”
