LATE PRINCE AUDU: WHEN DID HE DIE?

The news of the death of Late Prince Abubakar Audu was received, across the the, with rude shock on the 22 of November, 2015. His death has threw up a constitutional crisis. The way out of the lock jam has remain controversial with different  people and groups canvassing for divergent course of action.

However, this impasse is as a result of the constitution not providing for the unfortunate event. Only death before an elections and after an election with a duly elected candidate was captured  in the constitution and the electoral act.

While the Independent National Electoral Commission, on the behest of the Attorney general, has gone ahead to fix  December 5, for the supplementary elections, the Peoples Democratic Party has kicked against it and asked to be declared winner instead. And some argued  for judicial interpretation at the Supreme court, which I think seem more plausible.

After the announcement of the results it became very obvious the All Progressive Congress, APC, candidate, Late Prince Audu, has won the elections. The supplementary elections notwithstanding.

Supporters of the candidate and the party rushed to his compound to rejoice with him just immediately, the man died. Is this the case of another Moses seeing but not entering the promised land

The family said he took ill the day before, election day. And that they have concluded arrangement to fly him to Abuja For medical treatment.

My argument, if Audu  were alive as at Sunday morning, that is if he had not died,  and very ill to warrant urgent attention, how come no medical attention was sought in the state preparatory to his supposed planned  movement to Abuja. He was, most probably, not living.

The All Progressive Congress was only waiting for the announcement of the election results before announcing his death. Unfortunately, the inconclusive declaration of the election created another unforeseen political  quagmire

Let them come out now and tell us when did Late Prince Abubakar Audu die.
