Former Akwa Ibom Deputy Speaker Slumps, Dies During Campaign

The former Deputy Speaker of the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly, Hon. Okon Uwah, on Wednesday, March 18, 2015 slumped and died during a campaign at Nkek, in Ukanafun local government area of the state.

Uwah, who is running for the Ukanafun State Constituency on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, slumped at the residence of his in-law, one Godwin Udoko while holding a political consultation.

A source present while the incident unfolded disclosed that the deceased tried to escape the venue during a hassle for the consultation money he dropped.

The considerable fight led to a budding stampede and in his bid to escape, the aspirant reportedly slumped while the surging crowd trampled on him.

In the meantime, the details of his shocking death is still shoddy and there is yet to be an official statement in that regard.

RIP to the dead.

You guys should stop this silly habit of sharing money during campaigns.

Why can't you emulate Buhari??

Dude doesn't share money but is overwhelmingly supported by Nigerians from all walks of life and social strata.

Jeez. U see! His money killed him. He threw money at them and in their quest to fight for the money, he was trampled and he died.

This is why they don't allow Buhari to stand for more than 2 minutes at campaigns.

Wow!!!

He was killed by his own money..


Why we still play money politics is still beyond me. This years election has been more about sharing money than previous ones.

Now people have collected his money, killed him and someone else would get that office.

What a way to die.
