Abia 2023 governorship hopeful, Sen Emma Nwaka
Abia State 2023 governorship hopeful, Senator Emma Nwaka, has sympathised with the families of the victims of what he described as “the sad and unfortunate accident” that occurred yesterday, Thursday, February 3, 2022 at the abattoir situated at waterside river, Aba.
In the early hours of Thursday, a trailer fully loaded with goods had failed break and rammed into the market where several people were said to have lost their lives and many injured.
Senator Nwaka in a statement issued on Friday morning said that it was an unfortunate incident but urged the families of the affected victims “to take solace in the Lord”.
He also commended Governor Okezie Ikpeazu “for his quick interventions and courage to swiftly move, and relocate the Udele Market, which has become an eyesore, to a new place.”
The former Abia State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chairman prayed for the injured victims for quick recovery and also asked that God give the families that lost their loved ones the fortitude to bear the loss.
