Atiku commiserates with Calabar accident victims
The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has commiserated with victims of the accident at the just-ended Calabar Carnival.
The PDP presidential flag bearer in statement on Thursday emphasised that the tragic accident during the performance of bikers at the Calabar carnival is a national tragedy.
Atiku declared: “it is painful to hear about the news of fatalities and severe injuries in the unfortunate incident.
“The Calabar Carnival is more or less a national and international festival and the grief that came on the heels of this year’s event is a national grief.”
According to the statement, “the former Vice President shares his condolences with the good people and government of Cross River, especially the bereaved families, and with a mournful heart, prays for the souls of the departed to rest in peace.”
