Peter Obi Speaks On Ibadan Explosion, Promises To Donate To Victims

Peter Obi Speaks On Ibadan Explosion, Promises To Donate To Victims

The 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, has said he is concerned about the trauma and psychological devastation experienced by the victims of the Ibadan explosion.

Obi made this known in a post via his official X handle on Monday, after visiting Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State over the bomb explosion in Ibadan.

The former Anambra governor also stated that he is worried about the economic loss incurred by the people, many of whom were rendered homeless by the incident.

He also thanked Gov Makinde and his team for their prompt intervention in setting up an emergency centre and donations channel to help the victims of the tragic incident.

Obi, therefore, promised to make a token donation to the payment details provided by the government, adding that he shares in their pains and discomforts at this difficult time.

He wrote: “Today, in the company of some comrades that included Aisha Yesufu, Dele Farotimi, and Dr Moses Paul, I paid a solidarity visit to my dear friend and brother, the Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, at Ibadan, Oyo State, to commiserate with him and the good people of Oyo State, over the recent explosion that sadly claimed some lives and injured others. 

“Aside from the economic loss incurred by the people, many of whom were rendered homeless by the incident, I am concerned about the trauma and psychological devastation experienced by these brothers and sisters of ours. Our thoughts and prayers are with the affected families at these difficult times.

“I sincerely thank Gov Makinde and his team for their prompt intervention in setting up an emergency centre and donations channel to help the victims of the tragic incident. That is what governance should be about – caring for the people.

“I will definitely be making my token donations to the payment details provided by the government. We all, as one big family, share in their pains and discomforts at this time. Again, I pray God to grant eternal rest to the dead and grant quick recovery to the injured.”

You Embarassed Tinubu With Your Comment On Kwankwaso – Galadima Fires Ganduje

You're Embarassing Tinubu Over Comment On Kwankwaso - Galadaima Fires Ganduje

A chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Buba Galadima, has said the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, is ridiculing President Bola Tinubu over his recent comment.

Recall that Ganduje had stated during a recent interview that he would be the grandfather and leader of the 2023 presidential candidate of the NNPP, Rabiu Kwankwaso if he decamps to the ruling APC.

The former Governor of Kano State made the statement days after reports emerged that Tinubu was planning to reconcile Ganduje and Kwankwaso, and possibly pull him back to the APC.

But in an interview on Arise News on Monday, Galadima said the manner in which Ganduje announced Kwankwaso’s defection to the APC ridiculed Tinubu.

Galadima said the APC chairman never wanted to reconcile with Kwankwaso despite the President’s intention to reconcile both leaders.

He said: “Ganduje is wise by half, he ridiculed the President by going to the press on Kwankwaso joining the APC.

“Even if that is what the President told him to do, he knows the best way to go about it.

“Ganduje never wanted to reconcile with Kwankwaso and never wanted him to join the APC, he is just fooling the President to scare Kwankwaso away.

“The reconciliation of Ganduje and Kwankwaso will be in the interest of the state because it will allow the governor to do his work.”
