The party, in a statement signed and circulated in Abuja by PDP National Publicity Secretary Debo Ologunagba, hailed Governor Makinde for his exceptional leadership and applauded his swift and decisive response to the emergency. PDP stated that the governor’s prompt arrival at the scene of the disastrous incident showcased his commitment to the well-being of the people, which resulted in the provision of immediate emergency aids and support to the victims and their families.
The interventions by Gov. Makinde, which include the rapid evacuation of victims, covering medical bills, offering temporary accommodations for the displaced, and ensuring support for their rehabilitation, received praise from the PDP. The party emphasized that Governor Makinde’s quick actions played a crucial role in saving lives and providing solace to the affected families.
In the statement, PDP underscored the need for a thorough investigation into both the immediate and remote causes of the explosion. The PDP called for justice to be served by holding those responsible for the blast accountable. Such an inquiry, according to the party, is imperative to prevent future occurrences of such tragic incidents.
As the PDP stands in solidarity with the people of Oyo during this challenging period, the party offered prayers for the repose of the souls of the departed and a swift recovery for the injured.
