"I urge all drivers to be very careful as they use the road and drive defensively in other to save the cutting short of Innocent lives. I am also using this medium to extend my hands of solidarity to those wounded persons and I say am very sorry for the pains you must have passed through and pray that God should heal you all speedily." he added.
