In a message shared via his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, Atiku expressed solidarity with the victims of the disaster. He wrote, “I commiserate with the government and people of Borno State over the catastrophic flooding that led to the tragic loss of lives, destruction of property, and the displacement of hundreds of thousands from their homes. You are not alone in this difficult time.”
Atiku, known for his deep-rooted connections with the northern region and his compassionate stance on national tragedies, further pledged his unwavering support towards relief and rebuilding efforts. “On behalf of my family, I pledge my full support towards the rebuilding efforts,” he assured, highlighting the urgency of collective action in mitigating the suffering of the affected communities.
As the state grapples with the aftermath of the disaster, Atiku’s message of hope and commitment is expected to inspire national and international efforts to provide aid and relief to those in dire need. His call to action underscores the importance of unity and resilience in overcoming the tragedy, while also reinforcing the need for sustainable measures to prevent such disasters in the future.
Atiku’s timely response is not only a gesture of compassion but also a rallying cry for Nigerians to come together in support of their fellow citizens during these trying times.
