Let The Mockers Be Wary.
It’s ungodly and pathetically petty for Obidients and others to mock the Southwest and especially President Bola Tinubu for the Ibadan explosions.
This is a tragedy that has cost human lives and other valuables in a zone that continues to welcome all and sundry irrespective of ethnicity, religion or gender. It is a zone where many arrive the cities with barely nothing but prosper without let or hindrance.
This tragedy is unfortunate and it’s unfortunate for a political class to politicise it even further.
We must commiserate with President Tinubu, Governor Makinde and all the residents of Ibadan for the sad tragedy.
It would not be out of order to call for enquiries in order to ascertain both the immediate and remote causes of the explosions and for the authorities to deal squarely with those responsible for them.
We pray for Ibadan, the victims, the emergency services workers and all the residents while we mourn the departed ones.
