By Valentine Amanze
The Vice Presidential candidate of the People Democratic Party (PDP), Mr. Peter Obi, has expressed concern over the fire incident at the popular Amawbia Junction in Amawbia.
Obi, during a visit at the scene yesterday, said that he was saddened when he got the news and that his thoughts went straight to all those affected by the inferno, especially the families of the dead ones.
He prayed for the repose of their souls.
Though he expressed shock at the extent of the destruction, he urged those affected not to lose hope as he assured them that when, by the grace of God, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar becomes
President, the economy would improve and contingency measures put in place to ensure that victims of such accidents do not suffer so much.
Also, Chief Joe-Martin Uzodike, who represented Obi, appealed to Nigerians to disregard the news that Obi was attacked in Abuja, saying that nothing of such happened while Obi was in the places mentioned.
