He said the Red Chamber is concerned about the unfortunate incident that led to the wanton loss of lives.

“In this hour of grief, we are with the people, the bereaved families, and the state government. On behalf of the Senate President, Goodwill Akpabio, and all the 109 senators, we want to express our heartfelt condolences to them.

“We also want to declare that all the senators—109 of us—have agreed to donate our one-month salaries to the victims of the unfortunate incident. We are therefore donating N109m.

Responding, the state government’s Senator Uba Sani expressed his pleasure at the prompt visit of both the executives and the legislative arms over the incident.
