Dear Resilient Residents of Oyo State, especially those in the vibrant Bodija community in Ibadan,
I extend my heartfelt condolences to all deeply affected by the tragic explosion that shook our surroundings last night. Lives lost, injuries endured, and properties shattered – your pain resonates with us, and our hearts stand united during this difficult time.
In light of this tragedy, I urge the Oyo State Government to conduct a thorough investigation into the incident. Accountability for those responsible is not just a demand but a commitment to justice. Dispelling the cloud of speculation surrounding the blast is crucial to offering solace to the affected community and clarity to the wider public.
Highlighting the importance of proactive security measures, I call upon the authorities to actively involve the community in developing a robust security infrastructure. Collaboration with landlords, tenants, and stakeholders will foster a culture of shared responsibility and contribute to a heightened sense of vigilance, creating a safer environment for all.
To those in hospitals, may your recovery be swift and complete. For those awaiting rescue, our thoughts and prayers are with you, fervently hoping for your swift and safe extraction. Let this tragic incident be the catalyst for a collective commitment to ensuring the safety and security of our beloved state. In times of adversity, let us stand united, offering support and strength to one another.
With sincere compassion,
Hon. Tolani Adigun.
APC Chieftain in Oyo State.
