Early morning today, a stampede at a charity event claimed the lives of numerous individuals and left many others injured, serving as a poignant reminder of the importance of crowd control measures. While this incident underscores the compassion and generosity of the Obi Jackson Foundation, which organized the event to support vulnerable members of the community, it also highlights the need for adequate crowd management and safety protocols at public events.
Obi-Okoye emphasized the importance of prioritizing safety and well-being, praising the foundation’s commitment to philanthropy and community service.
He encouraged the people of Anambra State to come together in support of the affected families and to work towards creating a safer and more compassionate society. The State Chairman extended his condolences to Governor Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State, the people of Anambra, and the bereaved families, praying for their strength, comfort, and healing. He also urged event organizers to prioritize proper planning, collaboration with security agencies, and the implementation of comprehensive safety measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
Sir Obi-Okoye reaffirmed APGA’s commitment to advocating for policies and initiatives that promote the well-being and safety of all citizens, particularly during the festive season, and to working tirelessly towards a brighter future for Anambra State.
