President Bola Tinubu has held organisers responsible for the tragic stampedes that occurred during the distribution of relief materials in three Nigerian cities.
In the past week, chaotic scenes in Ibadan, Okija, and Abuja led to the deaths of over 60 people, including children, as crowds scrambled for food items.
During a Presidential Media Chat on Monday, Tinubu described the events as a critical failure in planning and execution.
“I see this as a “very grave error” on the part of the organisers.
“I am an organized person and that’s why I has been giving people food for the past 25 years and no incident has happened.
“Let this tragedy not affect us”, the Nigerian leader said.
