KOGI APC GUBER ASPIRANT DIES IN AUTO CRASH

                  
A governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Kogi State, Abdul-Aziz Aliyu, is dead.
The victim and his younger brother, Salmanu Aliyu, fear dead in a ghastly motor accident  along Jere Town of Kaduna State on Saturday.
Abubakar Aliyu, who spoke on behalf of the family, told journalists in
Kano that the incident happened on Saturday afternoon when the victims
were returning from Abuja.
Mr. Aliyu said
the 36 years old APC stalwart was in Lagos for an official engagement
on Friday. He said the politician, who was to travel to Kano same day,
stopped over in Abuja as his flight from the Nigerian capital was
cancelled due to bad weather.
Salmanu, who was also in Abuja for a
private engagement, joined his elder brother for the road trip to Kano
during which the accident occurred.
“Omeiza (the late politician’s
son) spoke with his father around 1.30 p.m. on Saturday few minutes
before the ill fated journey. We received the shocking and sad news of
his demise from Samaritans at the scene of the accident,” the announcer
said on Sunday.
He added that “from the report we received none of
passengers on the ill fated Sharon car survived and they have been given
mass burial at a location at Jere town”.
Commenting on the
incident, the father of the deceased, Jimoh Aliyu, described the
accident as a “fulfillment of destiny”, adding that he “accepted it as
an act of God”.
He appealed to hundreds of his late son’s supporter
who had thronged his Gama quarters residence in Kano to move on with
their life, stressing that “Allah has done what’s best and suitable for
us and we should be grateful to Him.”
