'APC will substitute Audu with another candidate for Kogi supplementary election'

The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami has said that the All Progressive Congress (APC) will substitute its governorship candidate in the Kogi State governorship election.

This is coming on the heels of the sudden ‎death of the candidate of the APC, Abubakar Audu before the last Saturday's election was concluded.



The AGF who spoke in Abuja at a seminar organised by the Nigerian Law Reform Commission on the reform of the National Environmental Standards and Regulation Enforcement Agency (Establishment) Act‎ said the election has to be concluded.

Malami said that APC would have to substitute its candidate for the purpose of the supplementary elections.

He however did not say if the party deputy governorship candidate would automatically step in as the party candidate.
