The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Monday charged President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately proceed to Lagos to reassure Nigerians over the horrendous Abule-Ado explosion that killed many, injured others and rendered many more homeless.
According to the PDP, such a national calamity and attendant loss of lives and property, is indeed strange that a leader could reportedly remain distant and not deem it fit to personally identify with the victims through a visit.
The party in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan urged President Buhari’s handlers to immediately schedule a visit to Abule- Ado, Lagos, so that Mr. President can have an on-the-spot assessment of the horrific incident and take corresponding action to avert a future recurrence.
The party also called for a forensic investigation into the spate of explosions, particularly the Abule-Ado disaster, given the alleged conflicting reports on the cause of the incident.
