The House of Oduduwa has extended its heartfelt sympathy to the government of Oyo State, the organisers; Agidigbo Radio owned by Oriyomi Hamzat, the Women in Need of Guidance and Support(WINGS), owned by a former wife of Ooni of Ife, HRM Enitan Ogunwusi; Ms Naomi Silekunola Ogunseyi,
the bereaved families of the children lost in the tragic incident in Ibadan yesterday.
“We share in the grief and pains that have engulfed the affected families. We pray that ‘Olodumare’ grants them fortitude to bear this trying time.
“We also express our solidarity with the government of Oyo State as they navigate this difficult moment especially Mr Governor’s commendable responsiveness.
“This tragedy underscores the urgent need for collaborative efforts in ensuring the safety and well-being of our children across Nigeria.
“While at Ile Oodua here as a queen, Miss Naomi Silekuola Ogunseyi demonstrated love and cares to the children of Ile-Ife through similar events which she executed passionately to give succour to children of indigent parents every December periods like this,” they said.
The House of Oduduwa then pledged to support all efforts aimed at bringing solace and healing to those affected by this devastating loss.
The House also called for immediate actions to prevent “a re-occurrence of such unfortunate incident in the future,” and emphasised the need for rigorous adherence to safety standards and child welfare policies in educational institutions.
They said the said that while the situation calls for solemn reflection and collective responsibility, and expressed dismay at the unprofessional conduct of some bloggers, who they said have chosen to sensationalize the tragic incident rather than uphold journalistic integrity.
“The dissemination of unverified and distorted information has only compounded the grief of the families and individuals directly affected.
“We urge all media practitioners to exercise restraint, compassion, and professionalism in reporting sensitive issues, as their narratives significantly influence public perception and healing processes.
“The House of Oduduwa encourages all stakeholders from government officials to the media and citizens to unite in compassion and constructive dialogue. Let us honour the memories of the departed by fostering a culture of care, respect, and accountability in our communities.
“Rather than being discouraged by the sorrowful end of the event which was initially planned to show love for the children giving helping hands to their parents during this yuletide, Miss Naomi Silekunola, Mr Oriyomi Hamzat and their co-organisers should remain committed to doing such laudable programmes for the children but with better plans and strategies of execution in the future. Lesson must be learnt.
“May this sorrowful moment inspire a renewed commitment to protecting our children, preserving our shared humanity, and upholding the values of truth and empathy,” they said.
