A former governor of Ogun State, Ibikunle Amosun, has sympathized with victims of the fire explosion, involving a petrol-laden tanker that fell and spilled its contents in Olambe, Akute road, Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State, on Saturday.
Amosun, in a statement on Sunday by his media aide, Bola Adeyemi, described the incident, which affected some residential buildings, shops and churches, as saddening.
He, however, thanked the Almighty God that no life was lost in the inferno that resulted from the accident.
“I sympathize with all our people who lost properties, goods and other sources of livelihood to the unfortunate incident. My heart and thoughts also go to the Pastors and the entire congregation of the churches affected by the incident.
“I enjoin you to take consolation in the fact that no life was lost in the incident. May the Almighty God comfort you all, and give you the fortitude to bear the losses,” Amosun said.
The former governor assured the victims of his support to them in order to assuage the effect of the incident. He also enjoined motorists, particularly drivers of articulated vehicles to always ensure that their vehicles are in good condition before embarking on any journey.
