Kogi SDP Guber Candidate Condoles with Family of PDP Women Leader
Ripples of the November 16 governorship election in Kogi State continued as the governorship candidate of Social Democratic Party (SDP), Natasha Akpoti, at the weekend paid condolence visit to the family of women leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mrs. Salome Acheju Abuh, who was burnt to death in Ochadamu, Ofu Local Government Area of the state.
Akpoti, who paid a condolence visit to the deceased family in Abuja, described the death of Abuh as horrible, adding that nobody deserves to die in such a manner.
“On behalf of the good people of Kogi State and Nigerian women, I have come here to sympathise with you. She did no wrong for supporting a candidate of her choice, even though we are in SDP, humanity stands before party leanings.
“Everyone was taken aback by the horrible death of Mrs. Abuh. Nobody deserves to die in such a horrible manner; we and the entire Nigerian women are with you to make sure justice is served.
“No one should be killed in the name of democracy. We can’t believe Nigeria has deteriorated to this state, it is extremely unacceptable.
“I can’t imagine the pains she went through in her last moment, calling for help until her voice was not heard, we are calling on the government to give justice to Mrs. Abuh,” she said.
In his response, the husband of the deceased, Elder Simeon Seidu Abuh, described his wife death as traumatic, adding that the worst has happened to the family, as the family light has been put out.
