 ‘Empty barrels’ – Otti dismisses Uzor Kalu, Orji, Ikpeazu opposition gang-up Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has urged Abians to disregard recent remarks by some leaders of the opposition in the state. Governor Otti who was speaking on Saturday at Seventh-Day Adventist Church, Umuoriehi, Umuahia North LGA, during the dedication of the church building, said that those who are gathering against him were the same people that failed to develop the state in the past. Otti was reacting to an alliance formed against his re-election by former Abia governors Orji Uzor Kalu, Theodore Orji and Okezie Ikpeazu. The governor slammed the opposition members for pursuing personal interest above the collective development of Abia, declaring that every gathering they are making against him would collapse. He said, “Pastor Uguru made reference to the noise that you may have been hearing in the last few days. “I want us to just dismiss it as noise, you know, and it’s always the empty barrel that makes...

PRESIDENT BUHARI MOURNS VICTIMS OF LOKOJA TANKER EXPLOSION.{PHOTOS}.#PRESS RELEASE.

President Muhammadu Buhari has stated that the death of 23 people, as confirmed by the Federal Road Safety Commission, “represents another disturbing and saddening incident in the litany of tragedies that have befallen our country."
Reacting to the petroleum tanker explosion earlier this Wednesday in Lokoja, the Kogi State Capital which claimed the lives of travellers, school children, bystanders, including some students of Kogi State Polytechnic, President Buhari said that "I am seriously worried about the frequency of these unfortunate and large scale tragedies in the country which cause needless deaths."
According to him, "these frequent incidents that result in loss of lives and property are a national scandal caused by our indifference to safety standards."
He explained that "many accidents are preventable if proper proactive and precautionary measures are put in place or properly observed as routine policies."
The President regretted that "ours is a country where we move on whenever tragedies occur instead of taking preventive safety measures to forestall future calamities."
President Buhari called on the county's transport authorities, traffic and road management agencies as well as law enforcement officials to sit up and enforce safety standards with more seriousness, adding that "refusal to do the right thing can cause potential tragic problems that harm innocent people."
According to him, "Nigeria is not having a shortage of laws and regulations, but our problem is lack of zeal to enforce those laws and regulations for the sake of public safety."
He condoled with Kogi State government and the families of the victims of the tragedy.
