The Governor of Ogun State is asking people not to believe the popular myth about “ember” months.
Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State.
According to him, all the crashes that occur are as a result of the increased activities on the roads around the last quarter of the year, and people who are inclined to speeding, nothing to do with spiritual forces.
Represented by his deputy, Mrs. Yetunde Onanuga, he went on to urge motorists to always show the highest sense of discipline, avoid violating traffic rules with acts like speeding, overloading, wrong overtaking, use of phones while driving, drunken-driving and so on.
