Kogi guber poll bello replaces audu

You're referring to the 2023 Kogi State gubernatorial election!

Yes, you're correct. The All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced that Abubakar Bello, also known as "Bello", will replace Yahaya Audu as its candidate for the Kogi State gubernatorial election.

Yahaya Audu, a former governor of Kogi State, was the initial candidate of the APC for the election, but he passed away on November 21, 2022, after a brief illness. Following his death, the APC held a primary election to select a new candidate, and Abubakar Bello emerged as the winner.

Bello, a former Speaker of the Kogi State House of Assembly, will now contest the election against other candidates, including the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Musa Wada. The election is scheduled to hold on November 16, 2023.
