The House of Representatives member who is likely to become Lagos’s 1st female governor has lent her voice to the tragedy that happened today in cities across Nigeria involving unemployed graduates and the Nigerian Immigration service.

The stampede so far has killed 15 people as the Nigerian Immigration Service raised 2 billion naira from the application fee received from each applicants.

“The house of reps had passed a resolution asking govt agencies to stop charging applicants for employment.. but the executive did nothing
Your vote is your power. Use it wisely to bring change in Nigeria. Fight to ensure your vote counts. Enough of being taken for granted!

This opportunist called Abike Dabiri should go and sleep where sun rises but does not set. Why is she so insensitive to human lives? Why is she using the detriment of human lives for her own political benefit and readers could not see that in her frivolous misstatements? Philanthropists and good Samaritans should organize and find means of help to families of the diseased. Good civil right lawyers like Tunde Bakare, Falano and the rest should stand up for the dead families and bring Nigeria Government to her kneels through largest class action litigation in the history of Nigeria. These pen armed rubbers just keep ripping innocent citizens off by all means from fuel subsidy to new license plate and driver’s license, from from failed National I.D. Cards to callous Toll gates just to mention a few. Before you know it, we will soon be paying for the polluted air we breath daily.

May God punish all of una politicians with ur sugar coated mouth to win peoples sympathy for political gain.
