Dr. George Ogunjimi Criticizes Governor Makinde’s Response to Ibadan Christmas Children Stampede

 

 

 

Sahara Weekly Reports That Dr. George Ogunjimi has expressed profound disappointment in Governor Seyi Makinde’s recent statements regarding the unfortunate stampede that occurred during a Christmas event in Ibadan. He asserts that the Governor’s response is both ironic and lacks the necessary gravity, considering the tragic circumstances and loss of life during the incident.

 

Dr. George Ogunjimi Criticizes Governor Makinde's Response to Ibadan Christmas Children Stampede

 

Dr. Ogunjimi believes that the Governor’s approach, which appears to point fingers at a select few individuals, falls short of a comprehensive and just investigation into the stampede that affected countless families. He argues that this is not merely a matter of seeking scapegoats, but rather a fundamental issue that warrants a thorough inquiry to truly understand the chain of events that led to this tragedy.

 

 

 

“Governor Makinde’s statements seem detached from the reality of the tragic event. His government should have launched a formal investigation, possibly involving a coroner’s inquest, to uncover the facts and hold those truly responsible accountable,” Dr. Ogunjimi stated. “Instead of attributing blame to a handful of individuals, we must delve into the underlying causes of this calamity, including crowd management, safety protocols, and event planning.”

 

 

 

Dr. Ogunjimi advocates for a transparent investigation that seeks to address not only the immediate causes of the stampede but also the systemic issues that may have contributed to this disaster. He emphasizes the need for accountability at all levels.

 

 

 

“It is essential that we do not allow this tragedy to fade away without a proper examination of the circumstances surrounding it. The safety of our children and our citizens must always be a priority,” he added.

 

 

 

Dr. Ogunjimi calls on the Governor and relevant authorities to prioritize a thorough and unbiased investigation, ensuring that justice is served and that measures are put in place to prevent such tragedies in the future.

 

 

 

Pertinent questions are begging for answers.

 

Were those named and currently detained at the venue of the accident?

 

Did any official of the Islamic school open any of the gates for anyone that day?

 

Why were the people or parents gathered at such unholy hours at the gate or gates of the school?

 

Where were the security forces of the school and why did they not move fast to curb the influx of the people at that very time?

 

Who were the parents who risked the lives of their children at those hours?

 

The governor remains the chief security officer of the state, and he remains legally culpable for the deaths, too, and he and others must be investigated independently in the matter.

 

The governor should allow justice to prevail.

In light of recent developments, the UKA has issued an official public disclaimer cautioning citizens, followers, and the general public about the activities of individuals promoting and operating a coin or platform not officially recognized by the Atlantian Gold Coin (ATC).

As the newly appointed Minister, Queen Amb Dr. Anyatonwu has announced that all matters pertaining to the 5 billion humanitarian project in UKA should be directed to her office. This includes the newly captured NGOs, which are now required to report to the Office of Humanitarian Affairs, ensuring transparency and accountability in the management of humanitarian resources.

“We are committed to transparency and accountability in our humanitarian efforts,” said Queen Amb Dr. Anyatonwu. “We urge all stakeholders to work with us to ensure the success of our initiatives and protect our citizens from unauthorized activities. We will not tolerate any form of exploitation or mismanagement of humanitarian funds, and we will take all necessary measures to ensure that those responsible are held accountable.”

The UKA has assured its citizens and the international community that it is taking all necessary measures to recover the hijacked funds and bring the perpetrators to justice.
