In a recent turn of events, the nomination of Prince Shaibu Audu as a ministerial candidate from Kogi State has sparked controversy and raised questions about the underlying motives behind the decision. Contrary to speculations, it has come to light that no politician from Kogi State had a hand in the nomination process.

The decision to nominate Prince Shaibu Audu was solely made by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu himself, as he had announced earlier during the build-up to the nomination. President Tinubu, in a heartfelt tribute to his late friend Prince Abubakar Audu, chose to honor his memory by nominating Prince Shaibu Audu for the ministerial position.

It should be noted that Hon. James Falake was also not considered for the ministerial post, as President Tinubu personally made the selection without any political interference from Kogi State or its politicians. This has, unfortunately, widened the gap between the Falake camp led by President Tinubu's and Yahaya Bello's camp.

The recent nomination of Prince Shaibu Audu has reignited discussions about his political ambitions and history in Kogi State. Some recall his move to seek the position of Kogi State governor immediately after his late father, Prince Abubakar Audu's demise in 2015, even before his father was laid to rest. This controversial move opened the path for Yahaya Bello to eventually become the governor.

President Tinubu's decision to acknowledge and honor his late friend Prince Abubakar Audu through Prince Shaibu Audu's nomination has been viewed as a gesture of respect. Prince Shaibu Audu's perceived neutrality may have played a role in his selection for the ministerial post.

As the political landscape continues to evolve in Kogi State, this nomination has undoubtedly brought forward various perspectives and discussions. While the true intentions behind the nomination have been clarified, it remains to be seen how this decision will impact the political dynamics in the state.

As the nation awaits the confirmation and subsequent role of Prince Shaibu Audu as a minister, it is essential to remember that this nomination was a personal choice made by President Tinubu, in memory of his late friend and without any external influence from Kogi State politicians.

In the video below, the Senator representing Kogi East, Isah Jibrin Echocho was seen kneeling in a viral video and thanking Yahaya Bello for nominating the Senator's kinsman. a move that many are frowning at. Owing to the fact that Bello was never instrumental to the emergence of Prince Shaibu as a ministerial nominee.

Yet with such 'agreement' in the box, Bello yet nominated 2 candidates from the Central including a serving senator as his preferred candidates. Why did he make such nominations since he was aware of the standing agreement?

Disregard that nigga.

His stock in trade is to come online and brandish claims of political alignments and agreements as if he attends Bola Tinubu's bedroom meetings where these discussions are had. Lot of folks no longer give him attention in the politics section.
