Peter Obi, the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, has appealed to the Federal Government to promptly offer assistance to the victims of the Borno floods to help reduce their hardships.
In a post on his X account, Obi shared his sorrow over the loss of lives and the disruption of daily activities in Maiduguri caused by the flood.
The former Governor of Anambra State stressed the importance of coming together to rebuild and restore the affected communities.
Acknowledging the suffering they are experiencing, Obi urged the victims to stay strong and resilient through these tough times and appealed to others to lend their support.
“I am profoundly distressed by the significant loss of lives and the disruption of activities in Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State, following the severe flood disaster.
“It is devastating to consider the families who have lost loved ones or been displaced, the homes that have been demolished, and the livelihoods that have been destroyed.
“In such times, it’s crucial for us as a nation to support one another. I call on both federal and state governments to take all possible measures to offer aid and relief to those impacted by this natural disaster,” he stated.
