Man cheats death in an auto Crash
By Nwaorgu Faustinus
The defunct New Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP) National Spokesman, Chief
Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, yesterday escaped death by the whiskers when the tyre of
his Jeep suddenly burst, causing the vehicle to somersault three times, ending
up in the bush.
The accident happened along Ishiagu express road as Chief Eze, presently a
chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, was travelling from his base
in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, to see his family in his village in Ebonyi
State.
“I would have been dead if not for God’s mercy and protection,” Chief Eze
told NF-Reports today. “The incident happened on the highway and by the time my
driver and I knew what was happening, the Jeep was somersaulting in the bush –
three times according to an eyewitness. How we came out unhurt is still a
mystery,” he added.
The popular media consultant explained that he started feeling dizzy and
pains in his neck later in the day, following which he was rushed to a nearby
hospital at Enugu for medical attention.
“The doctor directed that I be X-rayed to know if I have fractured my neck
but I am responding to treatment,” Chief Eze said, adding: “Please tell
Nigerians to help me thank Baba God for demonstrating His powers once again in
my life.”
It is
important to note that the accident happened two days to a
scheduled event in Port Harcourt at which Chief Eze is to be honoured by the
Rivers State branch of the apex Igbo group, Ohanaeze.
Informing him of the decision to honour him, Chief (Barr.) Obinna
Johnkennedy Chukwu, Secretary General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo in Rivers State, said
in a message: “Chief Eze, at our executive meeting of Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo held on
Wednesday and yesterday we resolved to give you a Certificate of Commendation
on Sunday 6/04/14, for being a worthy ambassador of Ndi Igbo in Rivers State
and for your dogged effort at championing Igbo and Non-indigene’s cause.
Congratulations!”
The honouree, who is yet to be discharged from the hospital, has nominated
an ally to represent him and receive the award on his behalf.
