Atiku & Ayu

The Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and the party’s National Chairman, Iyorchia Ayu, on Sunday paid a condolence visit to the former Governor of Plateau State, Jonah Jang, at his Du country home in Jos over Saturday’s accident which claimed the lives of 16 party supporters and left 83 others injured.

The party supporters, mostly young boys, were said to be returning from the party’s zonal rally in Pankshin LGA when the truck crashed near a bridge in Panyam community, Mangu LGA of the state.

In his condolence message, Atiku described the death of the party supporters as painful, saying that their sacrifices would not go in vain.

“For us, the loss is a very painful one for the lives of the young ones to be cut short at their prime.

“We are with you in prayers in this sad moment and we want to assure you that we will stand by you to make sure that those in the hospital receive the best medical attention,” Atiku said.

The former Vice President commended Senator Jang for the leadership of the PDP in Plateau and assured him, “Nobody makes sacrifices without the sacrifice being acknowledged and appreciated.”

Atiku also announced a cash donation of N30 million in aid of the accident victims who are still receiving treatment at the various hospitals in the state.

Ayu equally condoled the PDP family in the state and the people of Plateau State over the sad incident and prayed to God to give them the strength to bear the irreparable loss.

Ayu also announced a donation of N10 million to the accident victims on behalf of the national PDP and said that their sacrifices would not be in vain.

He assured that they would continue to work hard not just for the PDP, but for the country “to rebuild the country with greater facilities that such a thing will not happen again.”

In a remark, Senator Jang thanked the former Vice President and his delegation for the visit describing the gesture as a mark of “love” which the PDP was known for.

Super Falcons striker Asisat Oshoala was on target as Al Hilal produced an impressive 4-0 away victory over NEOM, with fellow Nigerian international Christy Ucheibe also featuring in the convincing performance.

Sports247 reports that Oshoala continued her contribution to Al Hilal’s attacking campaign by finding the back of the net in the 65th minute, helping the visitors strengthen their advantage in a dominant display.

The Nigerian forward’s goal came during an impressive second-half performance from Al Hilal, who added three goals after the interval to complete a comprehensive victory.

Moroccan forward Ibtissam Jraidi opened the scoring in the 11th minute, giving Al Hilal an early advantage before the teams went into the break.

Oshoala doubled the visitors’ lead in the 65th minute before Manar Al-Anzi made it 3-0 just four minutes later.

Jraidi then completed her brace in the 88th minute, sealing the emphatic 4-0 result for Al Hilal.

Christy Ucheibe, Oshoala’s Super Falcons teammate, also played a part in the victory as the Nigerian duo continued to make their contributions to the Saudi Arabian club.

The result represents another important outing for Al Hilal, with the team’s attacking quality evident in the performance against NEOM.

For Oshoala, the goal provides another opportunity to demonstrate her goalscoring ability and importance at club level. The six-time African Women’s Player of the Year remains one of Nigeria’s most recognisable football exports, and her performances continue to attract attention.

The presence of both Oshoala and Ucheibe in Al Hilal’s squad also highlights the growing influence of Nigerian players in women’s football outside the country.

With the emphatic away victory secured, Al Hilal will look to build on the performance in their subsequent fixtures.
