The Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, has called on government officials on all levels, to provide sources of livelihood for their citizens to avoid them falling victim to occurrences such as the Jigawa State tanker explosion.
In a post on his official X handle, Obi described the incident as a national tragedy, promising to donate funds to the victims of the explosion. The former Anambra State Governor commiserated with Governor Alhaji Umar Namadi Dan Modi and the people of Jigawa over the tragic petroleum tanker incident that took over 180 lives and over 80 still hospitalised.
According to him, tragedies occur when necessary human action is not adequately taken to mitigate misfortune. “Those who died and were hospitalized are mainly young people in their prime productive years. This is a national tragedy. I pray for the departed souls and strength for their bereaved families. “I also pledge to donate to the victims. I appreciate and thank the government for the efforts they are making to alleviate the suffering and help those in the hospital.
