The Labour Party’s presidential flagbearer in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, has once again emphasised the importance of valuing Nigerian lives and ensuring their protection at all times.
In a message posted on his verified X account on Sunday, Obi responded to the tragic incident that occurred at the Kadauri mining site in Maru Local Government Area of Zamfara State, where several lives were reportedly lost.
The former governor of Anambra State described the incident as a painful reminder of the pressing need to secure and effectively regulate Nigeria’s solid minerals sector through strict licensing procedures, enforcement of global safety practices, and the deployment of fully equipped rapid response mechanisms.
He wrote: “I am deeply saddened by the tragic incident at the Kadauri mining site in Maru Local Government Area, Zamfara State, where lives were lost.
“My heartfelt prayers and condolences go to the bereaved families and to the good people of Zamfara at this difficult time.
“I commend the Governor and the State rescue teams for the efforts made so far. The lives of our citizens must remain our most valuable resource and must be protected at all costs.
The safety and transparency of operations of our mining sites must be prioritised so that tragedies like this are prevented in the future. I pray that many more are rescued alive and may the souls of those departed rest in perfect peace,” he wrote.
