31. To lose 15 innocent and lively persons are deeply distressful not only to the immediate families but also to their communities and the State.These are active and productive people who still have a lot to offer to the wellbeing of their families and the progress of our State.

32. This sad situation calls for sober reflection and penitence, especially on the part of the APC, which brazen negligence in crowd control and at the facility was directly responsible for the tragic and irreversible loss of these innocent souls to the cold hands of death.

33. However, it is rather unfortunate that in the midst of this avoidable tragedy that they brought to the State and the families of the deceased, Rotimi Amaechi & the APC are still threating to unleash further violence and destruction on Rivers State & her people.What a pity?

34. We will all miss them as we join their loved ones to say goodbye and pray for the peaceful repose of theirs souls in heaven and the fortitude for the immediate families to bear the irreparable loss.

35. Finally, I wish to thank the people of Rivers State again for your prayers, support and cooperation since we took over the levers of governance.

36. Thank you and God bless Rivers State.
