Governor Adams Oshiomhole
Survives Road Accident
Press Statement from Edo State Government
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.
