Blessing Agbomhere Vows To Sue Fed Govt After Mysteriously Surviving A Ghastly Auto Crash That Claimed 3 Lives


The news of Dr. Blessing Agbomhere’s involvement in an auto crash along Lokoja/Abuja express way on Thursday, came to many as shock, particularly the people of Etsako, in Edo State, many of whom had wished him safe journey a few hours before the unfortunate accident that claimed three souls.

The only part of the news which consoled family members, friends, supporters, members of the Edo State chapter of the PDP and Etsako people was that he survived the crash mysteriously and many who saw the amount of damage done to the Land Cruiser SUV wondered how he was able to make it out alive of the car and unhurt.

While speaking to OLIKA REPORTERS in Abuja, the 2019 Etsako Federal House of Representatives hopeful, asserted that his survival was actually mysterious to him.

According to Dr Agbomhere, “I was on holiday to my hometown to celebrate Salah with my people, while returning back to Abuja, this happened”.


He said; “I must confess that only God could have saved my life from that particular accident and I give all the glory to the Almighty God, without Whom, I may not have been alive today”.

“I also thank the good people of Etsako for their love, prayers and thanksgiving to God on my behalf”.

The 3 occupants of this were burnt beyond recognition

Narrating how it happened, Dr. Agbomhere told OLIKA REPORTERS that he left Auchi that faithful day hoping to get to Abuja on time, but had the car crash around 1: 25 pm between Lokoja and Magajiya Village in Kogi State when the SUV stepped on the ridges and construction defects on the express way.


Agbomhere went further to blame the dilapidated state of the road as the cause of the accident and vowed to sue the Federal Government for their failure to fix roads where hundreds of Nigerians lose their lives daily and queried why would someone who is an ardent tax payer be made to experience terrible situation as this.

He said; “My escape from death as a result of bad roads has further inspired me to continue the crusade against corruption in Nigeria. If the roads were properly constructed and in good condition, the accident wouldn’t have occurred”.

“Rather than complain, this accident has challenged me again to fight Nigeria‘s systematic corruption that has kept us in this condition where bad roads and poor construction in Nigeria is claiming several thousands of lives, lives that would have transformed our nation for greatness”.

“I am consulting my lawyers, as I may sue the Federal Government for the bad roads that caused the car crash”.

As Governor, I Will End This Weaponisation of Poverty” - Tony Nwulu Decries detention of Imo Mothers

Honorable Tony Nwulu, member of the Federal House of Representatives representing Oshodi-Isolo II constituency, sponsor of the Not Too Young To Run Bill, and gubernatorial aspirant in Imo State on the platform of the Unity Progressive Party (UPP), has decried the arrest and detention of hundreds of women in Imo state, saying unscrupulous elements in the state put them up to it.

Over 2000 women in the state, aged 22- 70 years of age, who took to the streets calling for an end to executive banditry in the state, were attacked and tear-gassed by the police. The protest, featuring heavily pregnant women in several states of UnCloth, had them wielding placards and speaking against the policies of the Rochas Okorocha administration. They also called for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the IPOB agitation. About 114 of these women have been remanded in custody.

Speaking to newsmen this morning, Hon Nwulu said politicians in the state had weaponised poverty, putting the lives and livelihoods of women in the state at risk to fulfill their selfish ambitions.

“Our women are hardworking and very enterprising,“ he said, “and they law-abiding. Nigerians have the right to assembly and definitely the right to peaceful protests, but for whose benefit? Who has mobilised these women to leave their businesses and their homes and go out on the streets?”

Hon Nwulu decried the use of deadly force on the women, saying the state cannot clamp down on free speech or freedom of expression, and a society that treats its women so viciously is barbaric. “Is this still a democracy”, he asked. “Will people be on the streets if their salaries and pensions have been paid?

Calling for a new, progressive model of governance, Hon Nwulu stated that the unfortunate incidents in the state were the reason for the Mezie Imo movement. “Enough of a system that punishes differing ideas and demands for accountability. We will establish a system that promotes human capital development and increase inclusion in governance. I will focus on these things as governor of Imo State.”

39-year old Tony Nwulu is an astute politician who made history as the first Federal legislator in the opposition party to win a seat in a Oshodi/Isolo II in Lagos State, a constituency, state, and region different from his. He hails from Eziudo in Ezinihitte, Mbaise LGA of Imo State.

The prestigious Miss Polo International Pageant contestants, who arrived Nigeria from across the globe yesterday have paid the Brazilian Embassy in Abuja a courtesy visit, with exclusive photos.

The courtesy visit to the Brazilian Embassy is in view of the sustainable partnership that already exists between the pageant and the south America nation, thereby notifying the Embassy of their presence, as well as the forthcoming grand event which is slated to hold on Tuesday 28th of August, at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja.

This is the first engagement which the iconic delegates have made, since they arrived Abuja, the capital city of Nigeria. The courtesy visit, according to the pageant director, is an exposure and a commencement of the myriad of activities which contestants will be engaged in.

The director of Miss Polo International, Mrs. Ibife Alufohai, presented the Brazilian contestant to Amb. Ricardo Guerra, the Brazilian ambassador to Nigeria, who appreciated the beauty queen and intelligence she displayed.

Our reporters noticed a cloudy display of charismatic intelligence, intellectual diplomacy and vibrant gestures amongst contestants during the courtesy visit to Brazil Embassy. The Brazilian contestant, Renata Leite Puppin expressed a heartfelt appreciation to the Brazilian Ambassador and organisers of 2018 Miss Polo International
