Bola Tinubu sympathises with victims of Jigawa flood, mourns death of 51 people
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress' presidential candidate, has expressed his sadness at the loss of 51 lives in the recent flooding in Jigawa State.

The flood brought on by the torrential rains damaged many villages throughout the state, severely damaging four local governments, making hundreds of people homeless, and killing 51 people.

In a statement released by his media office on Saturday, Tinubu called the event "devastating."

The former governor of Lagos State wished all those hurt a swift recovery in a letter to Alhaji Abubakar Badaru, governor of Jigawa State.

He gave Governor Badaru his word that he was ready to support him and the state's residents as they rebuilt.

Tinubu encouraged everyone to remain strong even in the face of the challenges they are currently facing.

“Particularly saddening is the revelation that the flood claimed 51 precious lives and destroyed valuable properties. Please accept my sympathy and condolences over this sad and unfortunate incident, and the lives lost.

“I note with sadness that the heavy rain caused massive flooding in communities across all the local government areas of the state and badly affected are four local government areas in the state are Gwaram, Birnin-Kudu, Karnaya and Sankara Local Governments.

“While this tragedy will certainly take its toll on us in the number of lost human lives that can never be regained and lost properties that may never be fully replenished, this moment calls on us to be strong and courageous to help the victims through this dark period.

“We stand with you and the good people of Jigawa State at this troubling time. May Almighty Allah comfort the families of those who lost their lives in the flooding, even as the government works to ameliorate the pains of this tragedy on them and on those who lost valuable properties,” the APC presidential candidate wrote.
