The wife of Yahaya Bello, the Executive Governor of Kogi State, Amina Bello, was on Saturday involved in a car accident in the Kabba area of the state.

The Chief Press Secretary to Governor Yahaya Bello, Onogwu Muhammed, made this known in a statement.

The Governor’s CPS said the accident happened around Oshokoshoko area of Kabba while the Governor’s wife and some aides were on their way to Isanlu for an All Progressives Congress (APC) women rally.

Muhammed said the aides with the Governor’s wife were Kenechi Ajayi, Senior Special Assistant on Women and Children to the Governor; Ejura Edward, Senior Special Assistant to the wife of the Governor on Women Affairs; and Adesoro Olamide.

The Chief Press Secretary who described the accident as “minor” said they all came out unhurt.

“In appreciation to God Almighty for his faithfulness to the New Direction family, the Kogi State Government wishes to announce that three aides to the governor and his wife survived an accident this morning,” he said.

“The Government appreciate God once again, that all persons are in perfect condition.

“The governor’s wife’s door-door campaign train continues with their rally to the western senatorial district after a successful two days outing in Kogi east,” he added.

The accident happened barely one week after the Caverton chopper carrying the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, crash landed in the same Kabba town in Kogi State.
