Tragedy as APC House of Reps candidate dies in auto crash three months to 2023 polls

858

Barely three months to the 2023 polls, the All Progressives Congress House of Representatives candidate for Nsukka/Igbo-Eze South Federal Constituency of Enugu State, Ejikeme Omeje has died.

Omeje, a pharmacist, died in a road crash on Tuesday morning (Nov. 8) near El-Rina Hotel, Nsukka, on Eden Ani/Nsukka Road.

The lone accident occurred when Omeje was returning from a political gathering at Edem-Ani.

“He was said to be driving along the Erina-Edem Ani road in Nsukka when he suddenly lost control and his car veered into the bush, hitting a tree in the process.

“He was rushed to the hospital but later died early Tuesday morning as a result of serious injuries sustained in the accident,” a party member said.

The State Secretary of APC in Enugu State, Mr Robert Ngwu, who expressed grief about the politician’s death, described it as shocking.
