The former Vice President of Nigeria and Presidential candidate of the main opposition party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has offered his condolences to the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives in Wednesday’s Abuja collapsed plaza sad incident.
He stated thus on his X handle: “Every life is precious, and every loss, especially for the affected people, is irreplaceable.
That’s why we must take preemptive actions to stem losses from avoidable situations. My thoughts and prayers are with the families of those who may have lost their loved ones in the tragic collapse of a building on Lagos Street in Abuja following last night’s downpour.
May their families be comforted and their souls rest in peace.
“In the last couple of days, we’ve witnessed torrential downpours. This is yet another indication of global warming that has thrown up changes in our weather patterns.
That’s why we need to step up the activities of the development control and inspection departments of the federal capital and the states.
This is to ensure that the construction of houses meets the integrity test,” he said.
