THE leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kogi State has praised the decision of President Muhammadu Buhari to keep a distance from the choice of the APC governorship candi­date in the November 21st guber election in the state.

In a statement signed by its publicity secretary, Bode Ogun­mola and made available to Dai­ly Sun in Lokoja, the PDP com­mended Buhari for not allowing himself to be swayed by political antics to support the choice of his party’s governorship candidate, Prince Abubakar Audu who is standing trial for corruption.

The statement described the president’s action as wise and commendable so as not to dent his well-built image.

But president Buhari in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and publici­ty, Mallam Shehu Garba in a last week said he was not in any way against the candidature of the APC governorship candidate in the state, Prince Abubakar Audu as peddled by the ruling party.

The Kogi PDP remarked that the body-language of president Buhari is quite obvious, point­ing out that a man like him who is well known for his integrity, will not allow his image to be dragged to the mud.

The statement further vowed that the PDP will continue to support and join hands in the fight against corruption in Nige­ria.

According to the statement, the president has proven that he is above board and would not be swayed by his party’s senti­ments to drum his blessings to a candidate that is yet to prove his innocence in a corruption charge.

It described the PDP guber candidate and the incumbent governor, Capt. Idris Wada as the best choice for the people of the state, pointing out that Wada is not only incorruptible but pru­dent, transparent and humble.
