The senator representing Ondo
Central Senatorial District, Tayo Alasoadura, who was reported to be the owner
of the branded bags of rice being conveyed by the truck that killed dozens of
people on Saturday night in Iworoko/Ifaki road in Ekiti State, has sympathized
with the victims.
The Senator, who is recontesting
his seat in the National Assembly, expressed his condolences in a statement
issued on Saturday by his Media Aide, Dayo Joseph.
Recall we reported how an
articulated vehicle conveying the customised rice suspected to be for campaign purposes
claimed the lives of over 15 people in the town.
It was gathered that the truck
rammed into the town’s main market after it allegedly lost control as a result
of suspected brake failure.
While commiserating with the
people of Iworoko and Ekiti at large over the accident, Senator Alasoadura
stated that “the said rice was purchased from a Rice Mill in Kebbi State to
patronize/encourage our Local production of rice.”
He added that “the rice was
actually meant for my constituents to enjoy Christmas/New year celebration as
part of my love gift in the spirit of the season but the delivery was delayed
till now.”
“Our prayers are with the victims
and I pray for the repose of the souls of the departed ones and the fortitude
for their families to bear the irreparable loss while I also wish the injured
ones quick recovery and return to their normal activities,” he stated.
