President Bola Tinubu has cancelled all official engagements in Lagos today, including his attendance at the 2024 Lagos Boat Regatta. The decision follows a series of tragic stampedes in Abuja and Okija, Anambra State, which resulted in numerous fatalities and injuries.
In a statement released by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu expressed his deepest condolences to the families of the victims. He stated, “In a season of joy and celebration, we grieve with fellow citizens mourning the painful losses of their loved ones. Our prayers of divine comfort and healing are with them.”
The cancellation occurred as dignitaries, including senior Lagos State officials and traditional leaders, were gathered at the President’s residence in Ikoyi.
