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.
