Peter Obi was accompanied by Aisha Yesufu to commiserate with the Governor over the explosion that left many dead and properties destroyed in Ibadan.
Seyi Makinde: I thank His Excellency, Peter Gregory Obi, former Governor of Anambra State and also Presidential Candidate of Labour Party in the last Presidential election.
I thank you because Politics didn’t sip into this and you came here to commiserate with us over the explosion, though investigation is still going on, it is simply illegal miners storing explosives in an environment where they shouldn’t be because it’s a place where people live in. It’s not a mining site so all the lapses that allow such to happen have been looked into.
I am particularly grateful because the President called me. There were three musketeers that went for that election: The President has reached out to me, you have reached out to me, but my own Party Candidate not even a call or even a text message.
I mean I am saying this openly, so that our leaders will know (because) you have time for politics, you have time for governance and you have time for humanity.
We want to say thank you so much Sir, we appreciate this visit, Thank you.
