The National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, Chief John Oyegun, Friday narrated how God used former Governor of Kwara State, Bukola Saraki, to save him from being involved in a fatal motor accident in Niger State
Oyegun said two of his aides were still recuperating at the hospital.
Oyegun disclosed this in Benin City at a special thanksgiving mass organised to celebrate his 75th birthday.
The former Edo State governor said he was to travel by road to Niger State to attend the campaign rally for the Niger East senatorial election but was stopped by Senator Saraki.
He said,”I am celebrating God’s goodness in my life. God has been so good to me. As I was going with my entourage to Minna to campaign, Saraki called that I should join him on a flight when we get to Ilorin.
“My car was later involved in an accident. God prevented me from going on the road. My orderlies are still at the hospital.”
Oyegun said the APC would win the Niger East senatorial election and go ahead to retake Adamawa State in the forthcoming governorship election.
He urged APC members to join hands and fight together until victory is achieved in 2015.
Governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola, thanked Oyegun for standing by him during the Osun gubernatorial election and urged him to repeat the same feat at next year’s general elections.
Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, stated that APC under the leadership of Oyegun would become the ruling party of Africa’s most populous country.
The Chairman of Progressive Governors’ Forum, Rochas Okorocha, described Oyegun as the “political John the Baptist” that would bring change to the country.
