The Southern Governors’ Forum has commiserated with the government and people of Oyo State over the stampede at a funfair party held at Islamic High School, Basorun, Ibadan which claimed the lives of 35 children.
The chairman, Southern Governors’ Forum and the governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun paid a visit to Governor Seyi Makinde at the Agodi, Secretariat, Ibadan to sympathise with him.
While speaking on behalf of the forum, he described the incident as very unfortunate, praying God to give the families of the deceased the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
Governor Abiodun therefore enjoined event planners and charity organizations to always work with the government while planning charity gestures for proper planning with a view to preventing the reoccurrence of such incidents.
Responding, Oyo State governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde appreciated Governor Abiodun for the visit.
Governor Makinde, however, noted that his administration is ready to partner with Ogun State in areas of interest to bring more dividends of democracy to the people and residents of both states.
