I am deeply saddened by this unfortunate tragedy and pray the Almighty God to give the bereaved and those who lost their properties the fortitude to bear the loss.
It was indeed a sad occurrence that has once again reminded us of our exposure to risk, the transience of human life and the vanity of its accomplishments. At times like this, it is important we invoke our famed Spirit of Anambra, which emphasizes compassion, for solace and solidarity.
I commend the government of Anambra State for its intervention and the decision to consider possible compensation to all those who lost their properties and the family of the deceased.
On my part, I will see to it that the National Assembly uses the instrumentality of its law making capacity to regulate the movement of tankers in the country.
It is my prayer that God will in this hour of trial imbue in us the spirit of brotherhood, love and care for one another.
Hon. Ifeanyichukwu Ibezi, member representing Idemili North and South Federal Constituency.
