Politics took the back seat on Friday after about 30 members of the PDP died in a fatal motor accident in Benue State.
No fewer than 30 persons have been killed in multiple ghastly motor accidents on Otukpo – Agatu road in Benue state. Those who died are mostly Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members travelling to Agatu for flag off of Abba Morro Senatorial campaign for 2019 election. Moro, a former minister of Interior, is the PDP senatorial candidate for Benue south.
Other oncoming buses with party supporters rammed into each other resulting to the high casualties. Governor Samuel Ortom and David Mark promptly visited those who sustained injuries at St Francis Hospital in Adoka, Otukpo Local Government area. The accident forced Morro to cancel the flag off scheduled to hold in Agatu, Benue south.
A statement by the PDP publicity secretary in Benue Bemgba Iortyom mourned the demise of the victims. He said the cancellation of the campaign was to honour their memories. He added that a new date will be announced for commencement of the campaign.
