The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has commiserated with the government and people of Lagos State, particularly the families of the victims of the unfortunate Otedola Bridge petrol tanker explosion, which claimed the lives of our citizens on Thursday.
The PDP, in a statement from the office of its spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan, said it was deeply grieved by this shocking, horrid and traumatizing incident, which, in a very painful manner, cut short the lives of hardworking compatriots and brought painful material losses to many.
Said the party “Indeed, PDP mourns. Our thoughts and prayers go to the families of the deceased. We join in praying that God grants the bereaved families the fortitude to bear their grief as well as speedy recovery for the wounded.
“In the same vein, the PDP condoles with the victims of the torrential rainfall that claimed the lives of some residents, devastated communities and farms in Katsina state.
“The party prayed for the repose of the souls of the victims while urging public-spirited individuals and groups to support the government of Katsina state in finding succour for those who encountered losses in the storm.
“Reviewing the tragic incidents, PDP lamented that the nation has witnessed a lot of tragedies and deaths in the recent time and urged all people of faith across the country to supplicate for the nation at this trying time.”
