THE Vice-Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the recent general elections, Mr. Peter Obi has commiserated with the governments and people of Lagos and Anambra states on the collapse of a building in Lagos and an auto crash in Onitsha that claimed some lives.
In a statement by his media adviser, Mr. Valentine Obienyem, Obi urged the affected family to bear the loss with fortitude.
According to Obi, the two accidents coming on the heels of the recent crash of an Ethiopian Aircraft should elicit the compassion and concern of everyone.

He particularly expressed worry at the continued incidence of collapsed buildings across the country; and called on relevant agencies and organizations to double their efforts towards seeking a final solution to the menace.
The former Anambra governor prayed God to grant the souls of the dead eternal repose; urging public authorities at all tiers of government to take the issue of mass housing seriously to avoid Nigerian citizens taking up accommodation in uncompleted buildings.
