The member representing Ogbaru 1 state constituency Hon
Benson Nwawulu has called for the immediate relocation of parks at the Upper
Iweka axis by the state government.
The lawmaker made this call yesterday while speaking with
newsmen at the Anambra State House of Assembly premises also lamented that
existence of the motor parks in the area had caused more harm than good.
Hon Benson condoled with the grieving families who lost
their loved ones during the Sunday petro tanker inferno and also sympathized
with the government and people of Anambra state for the unfortunate incident
which he believed would have been avoided.
“It’s a big calamity and tragedy. It was a black Sunday
because it was a black day in Anambra state and I really want to sympathize
with the bereaved families who lost their love ones in that fire incident.”
“ I also want to console the Governor Chief Willie Obiano
and console the entire people of Anambra state for the lives lost in that
inferno, its really unfortunate and I know its something that would have been
prevented if we had taken proactive actions to stop it” he said.
Hon Nwawulu further noted that “the Upper Iweka area has
been a very dangerous spot in Anambra state. That place is suppose to be a
garden and not a motor park” he equally
expressed confidence that the Executive Governor of Anambra state after weeping
profusely for the scores of death recorded in the area would move all parks along the highway in
Onitsha to a safer and more convenient
location.
He said “I don’t know why there is park there; those parks
should be relocated to a safer place. With the incident that happened on Sunday
I think by the grace of God the Government of Anambra state will do something
about it because clearly the Governor is not happy. You can see he wept at the
site of that incident”
“So I am sure the
government will do something urgently to prevent such a tragic incident from
befalling the state and the entire nation again. It’s a big blow to the state” he concluded.
