While the candidate was waiting to collect his certificate of return, scores of protesters carrying placards stormed the gate of the secretariat, urging the party to get a credible candidate for the governorship poll.

Audu on Saturday-sunday defeated 27 other contestants to emerge as the party’s standard bearer for the Kogi State governorship election on November 21.

Some of the placards had inscriptions which read, “Kogi State says no to Audu,” “We need a credible leader,” and “APC, do the right thing.”

The APC candidate, however, dismissed the protesters as “noise makers” who lacked electoral value.

The leader of the protesters, who gave his name as Sulaiman Mohammed, told newsmen that the people of the state deserved better candidate than Audu.
