The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, on Monday in Kwara, led a high-profile delegation to offer condolences to the families of All Progressives Congress (APC) members who died in a road crash between Omu-Aran and Oro in Kwara State on Sunday.

The Minister, who was accompanied by Kwara APC Chairman Bashir Bolarinwa, House of Representatives Member-elect Tunji Olawuyi, Kwara South Senatorial candidate Lola Ashiru and other state party officials, visited the families of the five deceased members in Arandun, Agbonda, Omu-Aran, Oko and Odo Owa, all in the Ekiti/Irepodun/Isin/Oke-Ero Federal Constituency, where the APC won a landmark victory at the polls on Saturday.

He also visited the two hospitals in Omu-Aran, where those injured in the accident are being treated, to personally wish them a speedy recovery.

While visiting the homes of the deceased, the Minister commiserated with their families, hailed the members for their supreme sacrifice for the emancipation of the people of Kwara and promised that the

party will not abandon their dependants.
