Two buses conveying supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Benue State, loyal to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume, have been involved in a road accident while travelling to Lafia, the Nasarawa State capital, for the party’s North Central Mega Rally.
The accident reportedly occurred on Saturday morning near Government House Junction in Lafia town.
The spokesperson for Akume’s APC camp in Benue State, Dan-Morgan Ihomun, confirmed the incident in a telephone conversation, stating that some of the supporters sustained injuries but no lives were lost.
According to Ihomun, the injured victims were taken to hospital for medical attention.
He said, “Yes, two vehicles conveying supporters of our party APC on their way to the venue of North Central Mega Rally today in Lafia were involved in an accident. Some were injured and taken to hospital for treatment. Nobody died, and we thank God for that.”
Meanwhile, the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, is expected to attend the APC North Central Mega Rally in Lafia in support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Governors from the North Central states, alongside APC members and supporters from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), are also expected to participate in the rally.
