Senior Special Assistant to the Vice President on Political Affairs, who was in the helicopter that flew the VP to Kogi State, last Saturday, has spoken about how they were saved from the ill-fated chopper.
Ojudu spoke on the moment of crash on his Facebook page, thanking God the chopper didn’t burst into flames on impact.
“To family, friends and associates, thank you all for your concern and show of love and affection,” the ex-senator started. “I can’t thank you enough. It was a miracle we survived.
“The seat belts did a marvellous job and so were the security men on the ground, who quickly pulled us out of the wreckage not minding their own safety. We were also calm all through the ordeal. There was no panic of any kind.
“The immediate concern of all of us was the safety of our principal (Osinbajo). We ensured he got out first. He too ensured we were all out before going into a vehicle. When we were all safely in the bus he insisted the assignment must go on and we drove to the palace of the Obaro of Kabba.
“The Kabba people gave us a warm welcome and showered us with prayers. We thank them all. Above all, God must be praised for providing us that umbrella of protection and preventing the helicopter from exploding in flames.”
