The Campaign Organisation of the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, has sympathised with the Rivers State chapter of the party following the death of delegates.
The state delegates, who participated at the just concluded national convention at the Eagles, were returning home in a Toyota Sienna vehicle when they had an accident.
APC Rivers Secretary, Onimiteim Samuel, reportedly lost his life in the crash.
The condolence message was contained in a statement released on Thursday by the group’s Director of Media and Communications, Bayo Onanuga.
While praying for the repose of the souls of the deceased, he urged the families, leaders, and members of the party in Rivers to bear the loss with fortitude.
“The Tinubu Campaign Office received with shock the death of Hon. Onimiteim Vincent Samuel, the secretary of our great party, the APC in Akukutoru Local Government Area of Rivers State and others yet to be identified in a vehicular accident on their way from Abuja.
“On behalf of the presidential candidate of our great party, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, we commiserate with the family and our party leaders in the state.
“The death of grassroots leaders of our party in such tragic circumstances is saddening. We pray for the repose of their souls and urge party members to dedicate themselves to ensure that the victory of our party which they fought for is achieved,” the campaign group said.
