The lawmaker representing Ibarapa East/Ido Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives and Chairman of the House Committee on the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA), Hon. Aderemi Oseni, has expressed condolences to the families of victims of a tragic fuel tanker accident that claimed six lives in Ibadan, Oyo State.
Oseni conveyed his sympathies in a statement issued on Wednesday through his Media Aide, Idowu Ayodele, describing the incident as painful and deeply disturbing. He also expressed concern for those injured, praying for their quick recovery.
The accident reportedly occurred on Tuesday when a trailer carrying 45,000 litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) lost control and rammed into several tricycles at the Fruits Market along the Oje–Beere route in Ibadan South-East Local Government Area. At least six persons, including a motorcyclist, were confirmed dead, while several others sustained varying degrees of injuries.
Eyewitness accounts indicated that the trailer suffered brake failure while descending the busy Mapo–Beere–Oje road, causing panic among commuters, traders, and residents. The impact left vehicles damaged and victims trapped before emergency responders arrived at the scene.
Reacting to the incident, Oseni described the loss of lives as tragic and avoidable, stressing the need for stricter adherence to road safety measures, especially for heavy-duty vehicles transporting flammable substances.
“My heart goes out to the families who lost their loved ones in this unfortunate incident. I also sympathise with those who sustained injuries and pray for their speedy recovery,” he said.
The lawmaker urged regulatory agencies and transport operators to prioritise routine vehicle maintenance and strict compliance with safety standards to prevent future occurrences. He also called for increased public awareness on road safety.
Oseni emphasised that collective efforts are essential to safeguard lives and prevent similar tragedies. He prayed for the repose of the souls of the deceased and for strength for their families in this difficult time.

The lawmaker representing Ibarapa East/Ido Federal Constituency, Hon. Aderemi Oseni, has called on Christians to reflect on the virtues of sacrifice, love, and unity as they commemorate Good Friday.
In a statement issued on Friday by his media aide, Idowu Ayodele, and made available to journalists in Ibadan, Oseni, who also serves as Chairman of the House Committee on the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA), described the solemn occasion as a reminder of the selfless sacrifice of Jesus Christ for humanity.
“Good Friday symbolises the ultimate sacrifice made for the redemption of mankind and calls on us all to embrace love, compassion, and tolerance in our daily lives,” the statement read in part.
He noted that the lessons of the day should inspire Nigerians to promote peaceful coexistence and strengthen unity across religious and ethnic lines.
“At a time like this, our nation requires collective commitment to harmony and understanding. We must draw from the spirit of sacrifice demonstrated by Jesus Christ to support one another and build a stronger Nigeria,” he said.
Oseni also urged Christians in his constituency and across the country to use the period for sober reflection and prayers for national peace and socio-economic development.
“This solemn occasion provides an opportunity for leaders at all levels to prioritise the welfare of the people and demonstrate genuine commitment to service,” he added.
The lawmaker further encouraged Nigerians to extend acts of kindness to the less privileged, stressing that charity and compassion remain central to the significance of Good Friday.
“As we commemorate this sacred day, let us renew our faith, deepen our love for humanity, and work together to foster unity, progress, and hope for our dear country,” he stated.
Chairman of the House Committee on the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) and representative for Ibarapa East/Ido Federal Constituency in Oyo State, Engineer Aderemi Oseni, has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration for its steadfast commitment to infrastructural development, particularly in the area of road rehabilitation and reconstruction across Nigeria.
Speaking at a media briefing in Lagos on Thursday, Oseni characterized the president’s investment in the nation’s road networks as a strategic initiative aimed at transforming Nigeria’s transportation infrastructure and bolstering economic growth. Drawing from his extensive travels nationwide in his supervisory capacity at FERMA, he attested to the tangible progress achieved under the current administration.
“The administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is laying a solid foundation for a redefined Nigeria poised to lead Africa’s future,” Oseni stated. “We have witnessed substantial rehabilitation and reconstruction of federal roads across both the northern and southern regions, including major projects such as the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, Sokoto-Badagry Superhighway, and the Ibadan-Ilesha-Akure-Benin Highway.”
He further noted that enhanced operational efficiency and increased budgetary allocations have empowered FERMA to effectively tackle Nigeria’s longstanding road infrastructure challenges. “These efforts underscore the administration’s firm belief that an efficient transportation system is the cornerstone of a thriving economy,” he added.
While acknowledging these achievements, Oseni expressed concern that opposition parties have overlooked the progress under President Tinubu’s government. He urged Nigerians to remain vigilant against forces that may seek to undermine these developments. Additionally, he announced the formation of the Remi Oseni Committee of Friends (ROCOF), a non-partisan and non-ethnic platform dedicated to rallying support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.
According to Oseni, ROCOF currently boasts over 200,000 members across Oyo State, all committed to advancing good governance, justice, and sustainable development. “Our goal in the South-West region is to achieve a voter turnout of at least 75 percent and to ensure the APC secures no fewer than 10 million votes in the forthcoming presidential election,” he affirmed.
He also highlighted the critical importance of continuous voter registration and civic education, aiming to improve upon the 26.72 percent voter turnout recorded in the 2023 general elections. “Our journey toward 2027 is already underway, and we are resolute in changing the narrative by encouraging citizens to register for their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and exercise their civic duties,” Oseni emphasized.
Regarding his political future, Oseni hinted at a potential governorship bid, stating, “I am considering succeeding Governor Seyi Makinde, should it be the will of Almighty God and my party, the APC. However, this is not a do-or-die situation; the governorship race will be approached with dialogue and strategic planning, and I will respect the party’s decision.”
