Hon Bimbo Daramola |
A member of the House of Representatives Rep.
Bimbo Daramola (ACN) Oye/Ikole Federal Constituency has described the Statement
of Lere Olayinka of the Ekiti PDP as regrettable and a flip of his imagination
filled with half-truth regarding the unfortunate auto accident involving the
lawmaker.
According to
a statement issued by the lawmaker
through his aide, the accident occured at Ilasa Ekiti around 7.30 pm on Friday
on their way from Abuja.
The
statement reads:
“we had the
right of way to the right, while the fellow had right of way to the left. And
All of a sudden, the fellow left his lane completely and ran into our vehicle,
hitting us in a head-on collision.

“The
Policemen who came to the accident scene took him to the hospital, and
unfortunately he died on the way, with the assistance of the residents of the
area we were taken to the hospital in Ado Ekiti to get treatment for injuries
sustained.”
"Contrary
to the heinous statement of Lere Olayinka that we were over speeding, and that
we ran away from the scene for fear of attack by angry Ilasa-Ekiti residents,
it was the people at the scene that came to our aid, they gathered our stuff,
and stopped another vehicle that conveyed us to Ado Ekiti where we received
medical attention. So, the statement of PDP Ekiti on the accident was both
“incredible and morbidly amusing.”
"The
Honourable escaped death by the whiskers; it is highly regrettable that the PDP
can fabricate lies in the name of politics, not minding that the issue involves
the loss of human live.

"It is
unfortunate that contrary to what he presents to the public and his comical
attempt to make propaganda out of this situation, Honorable Daramola is kind
and respecter of human being and will never abandon anyone to die, not even his
enemies."
Meanwhile
eye witnesses confirm to the PSN that the accident occurred as a result of a
head-on collision and that both vehicle occupants were rushed to Ado Ekiti by
good Samaritans at the scene.
Efforts to
speak with the Honourable proved abortive as we were informed by the aide that
he is currently traumatized by the accident and the loss of life and will give
his own account after he recovers from the shock.
