Tragedy struck on Monday as members of the All Progressives Congress from Imo State travelling to Abuja for the inauguration of the 10th National Assembly on Tuesday died in an auto crash.
A chieftain of the party, who doesn’t want his name in print, said that the victims were coordinators for the senator-elect for Imo North, Patrick Ndubueze, and House of representatives member-elect for Okigwe North Federal Constituency, Mirriam Onuoha.
The source said, “They were travelling in two buses. It is a sad development. The party is saddened by the development. It is a sad commentary and we pray God accept their souls.” When contacted, the spokesperson for the APC in the state, Cajetan Duke, confirmed the sad development, noting that only two persons had been confirmed dead by the party.All rights reserved.
