Peter Obi Prays for Healing After Tragic Gas Explosion Injures Three in Lagos
Peter Obi, the prominent Nigerian politician and leader of the Obidient movement, has shared heartbreaking news of a tragic gas explosion that occurred yesterday at the home of one of their members, @Uptownoflagos.
The explosion left three of his brothers severely injured, suffering from third-degree burns.
The victims are currently receiving medical treatment at one of the country’s leading healthcare facilities, the National Orthopaedic Hospitals.
This unfortunate incident has sent shockwaves throughout the Obidient family, as it is especially difficult to hear such news during these challenging times.
Peter Obi, in a heartfelt message, expressed his deepest sympathy for the victims and their loved ones.
In his statement, Peter Obi said, “Such a mishap coming at this difficult time, our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their loved ones, and all those going through similar situations across the country.”
Obi extended his heartfelt prayers to the victims, asking for their complete and swift recovery.
He also urged the medical team to continue their diligent efforts in providing the best possible care.
“May God Almighty grant them healing, strength, and comfort, and uphold their entire family during this trying period,” he added.
TV anchor Rufai Oseni makes headlines as he speaks on fuel subsidy in Nigeria. He shared that Nigeria can have fuel subsidy without the long queues at filling stations.
“When we were still paying subsidies, there were no long queues. We were subsidising. So you can still have a subsidy regime going on, and there will be no long queues because production was close by. Dangote had it. That’s just it. That argument also falls flat.
“The biggest beneficiaries of subsidy are not Nigerians. They are crony capitalists that have big infrastructure, and they do contracts. They have been the biggest beneficiaries of the subsidy,” he said.
Lagos State Governor, Sanwo-Olu, speaks to those in the electricity sector about the usual blackouts in the state.
He speaks on ways things can change in the state and how electricity can be provided.
“We need to drop corporate egos, abandon long-standing excuses, and confront the harsh realities obstructing progress in the power sector.”
“We, state governments, used to give excuses that everything is centralised, so the Federal Government has unbundled it now. What have we done in a year and a half?” Sanwo-Olu asked.
“We take two steps forward, we go five steps backward,” he said.
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has declared Thursday, August 20, a work-free day for public servants in the state to mark the Isese Festival.
Speaking on the celebration, he said “Ìṣẹ̀ṣe is not a relic. It is a living expression of our traditions and a celebration of Yoruba spirituality as an important part of Nigeria’s cultural and religious landscape,” he said.
He added “When the drums sound in Lagos on Thursday, they answer drums in Havana, in Salvador, in Port of Spain. Fifty-five million people and counting. Lagos is not observing a local holiday. Lagos is standing at the centre of a global heritage,” Aregbe said.
