Now that the job is done, I feel free to comment on a specific candidate and interrogate his rise and rise on the political ladder amidst barrels of attacks and mudslingings. The ordinary Igala folks epitomize the people of culture, traditions ,profound appreciation, and yearning for development and all the good things of life.

Bola Ahmed Tibubu, the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, has today rewarded his late friend, Prince Abubakar Audu, by nominating his son as minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The news came following the second batch of the list submitted by the chief of staff to the president, Femi Gbajabiamila, today at the national assembly. It could be recalled that, the former governor of Kogi state, who is a bosom friend to Bola Ahmed Tibubu, died on the day he was to be declared governor of Kogi state, but the recent development will no doubt play a huge role in the dream the late political icon has for Kogi state and Nigeria. Prince Shaibu Audu, the son of a late political icon, was nominated today as he is set to face the Nigerian Senate for confirmation in the coming days. This is without doubt a huge sigh of relief for the Audu political dynasty following the shocking demise of the political guru.
