2019: 3 APC delegates killed, others injured after primary election
reportedly died in a ghastly motor accident in Keana Local government
area of Nasarawa State shortly after the just concluded governorship
primary election in the state.
The delegates were supposed to meet with Governor Tanko Al-Makura in
Obi LGA, in preparation for his senatorial ambition on Tuesday.
The meeting with the Governor could not hold as a result of the accident.
Punch reports that the driver of the vehicle conveying the delegates
lost control when one of the rear tyres came off in Deddare area of
Obi LGA.
The vehicle subsequently ran into the bush, killing the three delegates.
APC chairman in Keana LGA, Abraham Ishaleku, told Punch that 10
persons were involved in the accident. Three of them died. Six others
reportedly sustained various degrees of injuries.
His words, "In fact, we have lost great personalities in this
accident. This happened after the governorship primary election and we
were to meet with Governor Tanko Al-Makura in Obi LGA, in preparation
for his senatorial ambition.
"On our way back from the venue of the primary, one of the utility
vehicles conveying delegates from Madaki and Gadima wards in Giza town
lost control. My deputy and two women leaders died instantly," he
added.
Three of the injured survivors have been transferred to the National
Hospital, Abuja.
