Governor Idris Wada of Kogi State yesterday broke his protocol as he stopped his convoy to attend to accident victims personally along Kotonkarfe-Abuja expressway.


The governor, who was returning to Lokoja, Kogi State capital, ordered his convoy to stop to attend to victims of the accident involving a trailer and two 18-seater Toyota Hiace buses traveling from Lagos to Lafia.


A statement by Governor Wada’s special adviser on media and strategy, Jacob Edi, said the governor got out of his official car and ran across the road to give a helping hand to the victims and promptly used his mobile phone to call officials of the Federal Road Safety Commission who arrived at the scene within a short time.

Moved by the fatality of the accident, Governor Wada said he will pick the medical bills of the victims who sustained various degrees of injury.

No fewer than three people were feared dead in the accident while several others were rushed to the intensive care unit of the Federal Medical Centre in Lokoja.

Governor Wada commended officials of the FRSC for the professional way they handled the accident and sympathized with the victims.

You can tell this man is one of character and integrity. There is nothing like compassion from someone in power. Nigeria will be a better place is our leaders can emulate this more. I believe this story is inspiring and should be on the front page, moderators please move to the first page. News like this should have more traction than the exposure it is getting at the present moment.

Proud of our governor and deputy. Really making a change in our state. FRONT PAGE PLEASE!!!
