The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo state
cancelled its Governorship campaign rally in Usen on Tuesday after
a road crash involving party members.
An unconfirmed number of policemen were reportedly killed in the
crash, which occurred at Oluku junction when a trailer ran into the
vehicle of a travelling campaign entourage, the APC said.
In a statement endorsed by the Chairman of the APC Media
Campaign Council, Mr. John Mayaki, the campaign said it was
suspending the scheduled event, to honour the dead.
On behalf of Pastor Ize-Iyamu, the APC Governorship candidate
for the election and the party, Mayaki condoled with the families
of the victims, saying they were not alone in their grief.

It pledged that the campaign would do everything within its
powers to ameliorate their grief.
Reaching out to the families of the policemen involved in the
fatal crash, the campaign said Edo would never forget their supreme
sacrifice.
It called on everyone to pray for the soul of the dead, and
against the recurrence of such tragedies.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have also condoled with the
APC and Ize-Iyamu over the accident.
“We sympathize with the families of the victims and pray that
God grant the family the fortitude to bear this loss as well as
grant the policemen eternal rest,” a statement signed by spokesman
Chris Nehikhare, said.
