Governor
Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole survived a motor accident at Ewu Village along the
ever-busy Benin-Auchi road in Edo State at about 9.45am Saturday, 28th December
2013 on his way back to Benin City from his Iyamho Village. The incident
occurred at about 9.45am at Ewu, in Edo Central Senatorial District, when a
Peugeot J5 Bus filled with tomatoes and plantains apparently lost control and
rammed into the Governor’s Flag Car from the opposite direction before swerving
into a roadside ditch.
Three
vehicles in the Governor’s convoy were in front of the Governor’s Flag Car and
had passed the Peugeot J5 Bus before it [J5 Bus] had direct impact with the
Governor’s car, which had the Governor, his Aide-De-Camp [ADC] and his Driver
as occupants. The Governor’s Car was badly affected but both occupants of the
Peugeot J5 Bus and that of the Governor’s sustained no injuries.
The
Peugeot J5 Bus was following a truck that was descending the Ewu Slope when it
suddenly veered off into the Governor’s lane from the opposite direction and
directly impacted on the Governor’s vehicle, apparently because of brake
failure. The good story is that nobody sustained injuries in both vehicles. The
Comrade Governor is hale and hearty, his ADC and other occupants of the Peugeot
J5 are also in good condition.
The
incident has been reported to the Divisional Police Station at Ewu for further
investigation. This is to assure all good people of Edo State that there is no
cause for alarm. Their loving Comrade Governor is fine, hale and hearty as well
as other occupants of the other affected vehicle. The Comrade Governor is
wishing everyone a prosperous new year ahead.
Signed
Prince Kassim Afegbua
Special Adviser, Media & Public Affairs.
