The All Progressives Congress, APC has expressed deep sadness over the devastating floods in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital leading to displacement of thousands of people and destruction of property.
The party, in a condolence statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, commiserated with the government and people of the state.
“We are deeply saddened by the pain and suffering that this unprecedented flooding has brought upon our people in Maiduguri and its environs, with the destruction of homes, farmlands, businesses, public buildings, and even the palace of the Shehu of Borno,” the party said.
“As directed by President Bola Tinubu, the Vice-President, Senator Kashim Shettima, has visited Maiduguri to undertake an on-the-spot assessment of the tragic incident and has further directed federal government emergency services to support the State government to immediately evacuate affected residents to safety, and provide all necessary assistance to them.”
The ruling party urged all agencies of the Borno state and Federal government to spare no effort in tackling all humanitarian challenges occasioned by the disaster.
It prayed to God to comfort and grant full restoration to the victims of the incident.
