2025 Budget Unrealistic
President Bola Tinubu says the stampedes recently experienced during palliative distributions across the country were due to poor organisations.
The president stated this on Monday during his first media chat, attributing the mishaps to indiscipline on the part of the beneficiaries of the palliatives.
EKO HOT BLOG reports that palliative distributions in Ibadan, Anambra and the Federal Capital Territory recently resulted in stampedes, with no fewer than 60 lives lost to the incidents.
“Are we looking at it from organisers’ point of view or are you looking at it from the goodwill gesture of the people trying to give out whatever they have?
“It is very sad that people are not well-organised. We just have to be more disciplined in our society,” the president said.
The president sympathized with those who lost their family members, adding that the stampedes could have been avoided.
He likened the stampedes to what what usually happens at bus stops in the country where people don’t want to be on the queue.
