I was taken aback, perplexed, bewilder and overwhelmed by the ugly and sad incidence of 10 th and 14 th January, 2023, which have claimed the lives of supporters and others of the Plateau State chapter of the PEOPLES DEMOCRATIC PARTY (PDP). Still worrisome is the report that, others sustain various degrees of injuries in the reported accidents, while returning from the party’s campaign flag-off. I know for a fact that, the party’s campaign is scheduled to hold across the state, as a build up to the forthcoming general elections. While I am yet to recover from the shock and misty-eye, I want to use this medium to extend my sincere empathy to the Plateau State PDP family, the State Executive, Stakeholders, Flag-bearers and the entire citizens of Plateau State. It is said that, he who weeps for others, remembers himself. I pray to the almighty God to grant the families of those, who lost their loved ones, the PDP family, Plateau citizens and all meaning Nigerians the fortitude to accept...
