On Tuesday a
trailer crashed into the party’s campaign convoy at Benin Bye-Pass, former
chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole narrowly
escaped death.
While
Oshionmhole was lucky, two policemen in the convoy died in the accident at
Oluku Junction.
It was not
clear whether the APC candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu was also embedded in
the convoy.
The accident
was being seen by some members of Oshiomhole’s party as staged by the political
opponents, while some said it was just a normal accident.
The gravity
of the accident and the fatalities involved led the party to suspend further
campaign, according to a statement issued after the accident.
The party
said it suspended the campaign to grieve with families of the victims.
Edo election
will be held on 19 September.
