Ekiti State governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has described as unfortunate the death of about eight persons in a fatal accident which occurred Monday along Eksu/Iworoko road.
Mr. Fayose spoke on Monday night when he visited some of the survivors at the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital.
“I sympathise with them, it’s unfortunate, it’s not a good news, it is one too many. We are saddened but we have to take solace in God,” Mr. Fayose was quoted as saying.
“Reckless driving and overspeeding has cost us eight lives and some others in intensive care unit, I just want to commit them into the hands of God because there is nothing to say for now rather than to pray that God should intervene and console the families and the people of Ekiti”, he added.
