Former Nigeria’s president, Goodluck Jonathan has called on the Federal Government to ensure that all the necessary support needed by the victims of the three incidents of stampede is provided.

He urged the relevant authorities to ensure that measures are adequately implemented to prevent such incidents from recurring.
Calling for prayers for the victims and members of their families, Jonathan said, “As we navigate through this painful period, I encourage all Nigerians to show compassion and solidarity, especially during this festive season.
“Christmas is a time of love, unity, and hope. It reminds us of the importance of caring for one another and working towards peace and harmony in our communities,” he said.
He further wished all Nigerians a Merry Christmas while urging citizens to pray for the wisdom, strength, and resilience to overcome our challenges and for brighter days ahead for our beloved country.
