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.
He said the frequency of tragedies in the nation has become a concerning issue that calls for special supplications for God’s intervention even as relevant stakeholders and governments at all levels should strive to put in place infrastructure and laws that will help prevent such ugly incidents.
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.
“Again, I use this as a point of contact to condole all the victims of the tanker explosion and spillage and to urge tanker drivers to be more careful.
“I also call on governments at all levels to provide our people with a source of livelihood to avoid things that will jeopardize their lives,” he tweeted.
