Immigration Stampede: PDP Mourns Victims, Demands Immediate Investigation...
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said it is extremely grieved by the death of young Nigerians during a stampede at the recruitment exercise conducted by the Nigeria Immigration Service at the National Stadium, Abuja on Saturday.
The PDP in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh on Saturday said it was “shocked and deeply saddened by the news of the untimely death of the young citizens who were at the exercise not only to secure jobs but to be allowed the opportunity to contribute towards the development of the nation.”
The party said it was “unfortunate and disheartening that the victims paid the supreme price while trying to be more useful to the nation.”
While commiserating with the families of the deceased, the ruling party prayed for the speedy recovery of the wounded and charged the Ministry of Interior and all relevant agencies of government to immediately swing into action to unravel the remote and immediate causes of the stampede.
The PDP also charged all government agencies and parastatals, as well as all its elected and appointed officials at all levels to redouble their efforts in curbing unemployment in line with President Goodluck Jonathan’s Transformation Agenda and the PDP manifesto.

ReplyDeleteSure-P is working, only on the pages of PDP newspapers, TVs and radio stations. The economy is growing according to Ngozi Iweala. What next will they say now?
ReplyDeleteWhen Pdp has completed the destruction of children and youths in the country then you will all know the benefit of an opposition party. Jonathan and patience do not know the pains of having children.
ReplyDeletePDP una don kill people again oooooo
ReplyDeletePDP shame on u after ruling nigeria for over 16yrs still notin to show only killings and monumental corruption every day
ReplyDeleteThis statement is very stupid. PDP government has given the opposition another way for they to critie them. They should go further to pay the deceased parents token for the death that happened. Even though that the appititude test is a clear motive to defraud Nigerians. The test showed a clear mis management from the ministry of interior managed by the PDP government
ReplyDeleteThis is a tragic news. The masses in this country really needs God intervention b/4 PDP sucks all their blood.
ReplyDeleteThis is nothing but another wiser way of PDP to reduce the number of nigerian teeming youth whose soul considered by FG as a threat to nation's econamy. The most grieve of all was that those who would have to get employ was not at all present in an exercise venue.This is inhuman act deliberately commited on young nigerian
ReplyDeleteAbbah Moro should be sacked. He is highly incompetent and a disgrace to humanity. He knew he was gunning for impossibity. He lacks everything about management. I will quarel Jonathan till death if nothing happen in the Interior ministry. May the gentle soul of the departed find peace with God. My heart bleeds. God safe Nigeria.
