PDP blames Dapo Abiodun Government for Abeokuta tanker explosion

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Ogun State chapter has blamed the Sunday morning tanker explosion in Abeokuta on Governor Dapo Abiodun’s government, adding that its inability to fix the road is an inhumane act.

According to them, “this inhumane government chose to play deaf and dumb to the plight of the people whose means of legitimate livelihood depends largely on that road.”

In a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Akinloye Bankole, the PDP has reminded the public of its “sustained advocacy and patriotic calls to the fumbling APC government under Prince Dapo Abiodun to earnestly rehabilitate the terribly impassable Lafenwa/ Ayetoro road.”

The party said the Abiodun government has “intentionally weaponized dilapidated roads against the very people it swore to protect. There is no gainsaying that the incident in which a truck loaded with PMS overturned could have possibly been avoided if the Dapo Abiodun government had heeded our party’s several calls on the need to make the Lafenwa-Ayetoro road passable before now.”

The statement read, “It is indeed worrisome to note that as the state still grieves in the face of widespread activities of members of secret cults across the state, we have a case of large scale inferno presently, struggling for wicked attention.

“Therefore, with all sense of compassion, we urge the good people of Ogun state to take solace in the fact that this era of deliberate insensitivity manifestly demonstrated by the sinking APC government would not last. It can not guarantee the safety of lives and property.

“We hereby call on the people to continue to organize their energy while they remain calm and law-abiding. Every shade of agony which the ruling APC government represents will soon be over,” the statement added.
