The numbers of those backing the gubernatorial ambition of
Prince Mustapha Mona Audu to become the next Governor of Kogi state have
increased.
Bola
Okolie the Chief Executive Officer at Bonix Drinks has
joined the rank.
The
highly popular drinks service provider is from Kogi state as is well known as
the favorite niece of Federal House of Representatives Member James Abiodun
Faleke.
Faleke
was the deputy governorship candidate to Prince Abubakar Audu, the former
governor who won the November 2015 Kogi gubernatorial election for the All
Progressives Congress but died before he was officially declared the winner.
The
vacuum created by Audu’s death provided the opportunity for the incumbent
governor, Yahaya Bello, to occupy his present position.
The
late Audu was Prince Mustapha Mona Audu’s father.
Bello’s
performance in office – including allegations of owing state workers backlog of
salaries – is threatening his re-election within and outside his party.
Some
of the major players within the top echelon of the APC consider Mona Audu as
the perfect alternative and are pushing for him to become the party’s
gubernatorial candidate for the November 2019 election in Kogi state.
Obviously,
House of Representatives member Faleke’s favorite niece who has transformed
Bonix Drinks into a major brand – hand in glove with her husband, Bernard
Okolie – shares the conviction that Mona Audu would make a better governor than
re-election seeking Yahaya Bello,
As
part of ongoing discussions on how to achieve the Mona Audu for Kogi governor
dream, the Bonix Drinks CEO and friend Mrs Khalifat of OS Celebration met with
the gubernatorial aspirant, his wife – Princess Zahrah – and some members of
the campaign team which includes justumagazine.com publisher Wale Ademokoya in
Abuja yesterday – Wednesday, June 26, 2019.
