Three All Progressives Congress (APC) youth leaders from Benue State’s Ogbadibo Local Government Area perished in a terrible car accident while their route to Lafia, Nasarawa State, for the party’s North Central Zonal Congress.
The victims include Hon. Abraham Enenche of Olachagbaha Ward, Hon. Ogbe Enemari of Ai-oono Ward 3, and Hon. Anawo Benjamin of Orokam Ward 3.
While a number of other delegation members suffered varied degrees of injuries and are presently undergoing care, they perished at the scene of the collision.
The young party leaders who were reportedly on official party duties lost their life in the deadly tragedy that happened on Wednesday along the Makurdi–Lafia expressway.
In response, Comrade Daniel Onjeh, the 2023 APC Benue South Senatorial candidate, said he was deeply saddened by the loss and called it a devastating tragedy.
He pointed out that the deceased were devoted grassroots politicians whose devotion and hard work greatly aided in the party’s expansion.
Onjeh sent his condolences to the APC family in Ogbadibo and Benue State as well as the grieving families, asking God to give them the fortitude to deal with the terrible loss.
Additionally, he extended prayers for the quick recovery of those hurt and urged party members to unite at this trying time.
In a similar vein, Comrade Abba Moro, the Senate Minority Leader and Senator for the Benue South Senatorial District, called the occurrence “traumatic and devastating,” particularly considering that several people died simultaneously from the same local government area.
He prayed for the deceased’s souls to rest in peace and for heavenly consolation for the surviving Ogbadibo residents as well as their families, friends, and political associates.
Additionally, the senator wished the injured a speedy recovery.
