The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje (CON), yesterday, September 12, 2024, led members of the Party’s National Working Committee (NWC) on visits with the Governor of Borno State, Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum and Governor of Yobe State, Mai Mala Buni, to empathise with the governments and residents over the devastating floods in Borno and the recent terrorist attack in Yobe.
In Borno state, Dr Ganduje expressed the Party’s sympathies to Governor Zulum and and the people of the State over the devastating flooding that destroyed property, livelihoods, farmlands and public facilities in Maiduguri and environs following the collapse and overflow of the Alau dam in Borno State.
In Yobe state, Dr Ganduje commiserated with the government and residents over the terrorist attack that killed scores of innocent residents of Mara village, Tarmuwa LGA of Yobe state.
In a statement signed by Felix Morka, National Publicity Secretary of the party said the National Chairman assured both state governments of the federal government’s commitment to provide crucial support and humanitarian assistance to the victims of the flood disaster and forestall a repeat of the gruesome killings and bring the perpetrators to justice.
The Party prayed for divine comfort for families that lost their loved ones and wished the injured speedy recovery.
On Tuesday, thousands of residents fled their homes as flood ravaged swathes of Fori, Galtimari, Gwange, and Bulabulin areas of Maiduguri.
The flood occurred due to the collapse of the Alau Dam which has been at full capacity for the past week.
Similarly, dozens of people were killed after suspected Boko Haram terrorists attacked a village in Yobe state, setting fire to shops and homes.
