It was reported that 16 persons were killed and 27 were injured in the fatal road crash that occurred at Audu Jhangon village along the expressway on Sunday evening.

The PDP flagbearer offered his deepest condolences to the families who have lost their loved ones and wished a speedy recovery to those who were injured.

“This devastating event, which claimed 16 precious lives and left 27 individuals with injuries, is a profound loss for our nation and the affected families.
“In these difficult times, my heart goes out to all those who have been impacted by this tragedy. I offer my deepest condolences to the families who have lost their loved ones and wish a speedy recovery to those who are injured.

Olumide Akpata, a former president of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA has denied reports that his governorship ambition is bankrolled by Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki.
Akpata clarified that there is no truth to the suggestion that Obaseki would support him if his preferred candidate in the People’s Democratic Party does not secure the ticket.
He also countered allegations of attempting to purchase the Labour Party ticket with money, labeling such claims as immature.
Akpata made these remarks in Benin while attending the award day of the 2023 Press Week of the Edo State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) as a Special Guest.
He said, “That I am sponsored by Godwin Obaseki is an unfounded and baseless rumour. It was bandied around by two irresponsible online blogs that I shall be going after with all the venom that I can muster because my approach to fake news is that you nip it in the bud and you deal with it before it festers.
“It has also been bandied around by some disgruntled politicians including my party and I said to them that it is a very weak argument or reasoning.
“My relationship with the governor has never been hidden so it is only politicians who don’t know how to agree to disagree that quickly conclude that when two contenders sit together, they must belong to the same camp.
“In the old Bendel State, my father’s elder brother Sen Olu Akpata was in the UPN in 1979, and his cousin Tayo Akpata was the chairman of NPN in the same state. They had lunch and dinner together.
“The family I belong to are honourable people. Those who know the Akpata family in Benin know that we are honourable people. If I cannot go into politics on my own, and get the prize that I am looking for I will stay at home.
“I am a successful lawyer. Politics is not my job. It is out of interest that we have come to the rescue of this state and Nigeria. I cannot be the hireling of anybody,” he added.
On the issue of being a money bag, Akpata said, “As the Americans would say, I put my money where my mouth is and you know, these people who say I am a money bag, have been spending before I came into the scene. So I just wonder what the issue really is. You know when people get uncomfortable with a competition that they cannot match up to, they must look for something to say.
“They are only giving a dog a bad name to hang it. The LP is not as financially buoyant as the other parties. So all of us who are true party members must come together and help our party. I shrug off the claim that I am a money bag. However, Politics is expensive all over the world.”
The Deputy Governor of Ondo State, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, and the State House of Assembly Speaker, Olamide Oladiji, were reportedly summoned by President Bola Tinubu to Aso Rock in Abuja for an urgent meeting.

The emergency meeting will be the second one summoned by the President to resolve the leadership crisis in the state following the governor’s absence from office since July 2023.
