In a sympathy message to Governor Zulum, Comrade Nasir Idris described the incident that cut across Borno State as highly devastating and unprecedented in the history of flood devastation in the country in recent years.
He consoled the governor to remain faithful and consider it as unavoidable act of God.
He noted with symphatatic feeling, that critical government institutions such as the Government House, teaching hospital, Shehu of Borno’s Palace, state secretariat, schools and business centres were reported to have been affected.
Governor Idris added that ” although we in Kebbi have experienced similar unfortunate incident,
we share your grief, and we are deeply pained by the natural disaster. “
He prayed to Allah to replace the lost valuable properties of the victims and grant eternal rest to those who lost their lives.
Comrade Nasir recommended for the constitution of a high powered commitee of experts by the governments of the states prone to flood, that will colloborate with relevant federal government agencies and come up with lasting solution to the annual disaster.
