The source said Mr. Audu woke up very tired on Saturday, the day of the governorship election. He said doctors had given the former governor blood transfusion which gave him enough energy to go to the polling booth to vote in his hometown, Ogbonicha. .

He returned to his home on Saturday and began vomiting again. After a while he became unconscious and died around 5 a.m. He passed on before officials of INEC started collation and announcement of results.

A source at INEC told SaharaReporters that electoral officials knew of Mr. Audu’s death before they announced the results of his election inconclusive.
