The Peoples Democratic Party Governors’ Forum, PDP-GF, under the chairmanship of His Excellency, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed CON, the Governor of Bauchi State, and on behalf of the member Governors commiserates with His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, Governor of Delta State, the Government and the good people of Delta State, especially the families of the deceased identified from the unfortunate tanker explosion that  occured on Friday, May 3, 2024 at Ometan Community in Okpe Local Government Area of the State.


2. The Forum laments this unfortunate loss of souls and property in yet another tanker explosion in Delta State, just too soon after the recent April 26, 2024 incident in the neighboring Rivers State.

3. We advocate for a safer mode of conveyance of petroleum products and wholeheartedly give the Government and people of Delta State out total support at this moment and always.

4. The impact is heart breaking and from the available reports,  it was visibly avoidable, hence, our call for stricter monitoring by the relevant traffic authorities to ensure that drivers comply with safety codes to avert a reoccurrence.


5. Once more, our heartfelt condolences.


Dr. Emmanuel Agbo, FNMS MFR , 

Director General, 

PDP-GF, Abuja.
