The 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has expressed deep sadness over the ghastly car crash involving former heavyweight boxing champion, Anthony Joshua.
In a post on his verified X handle on Monday, Obi said he received the news with a heavy heart.
Politics Nigeria earlier reported that Anthony Joshua was involved in a serious road accident on Monday, during which two occupants of the vehicle reportedly died on the spot.
The former Anambra State governor said the incident had prompted sober reflection, particularly amid reports that no ambulance was readily available to immediately convey Joshua to the hospital.
While commiserating with the families of the two victims, Obi prayed for the speedy recovery of the globally renowned boxer.
“It is particularly worrisome that this incident occurred while he was in Nigeria. I received with deep concern the news of the road accident involving former heavyweight boxing champion, Mr Anthony Joshua, in Makun, Ogun State. May God grant the departed eternal rest,” he wrote.
