The Chairman of the Southern Governors’ Forum and governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has sympatized with his Borno State counterpart, Prof. Babagana Zulum, and the people of the state over the recent flood incident that ravaged Maiduguri, the state capital.
Governor Abiodun, in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Strategy, Hon. Kayode Akinmade, said the ravaging flood has caused serious humanitarian crisis in the state, which requires urgent support from all well meaning Nigerians.
He said, “While natural disasters of that nature were inevitable, the prompt response like that of the government of Borno and the Federal Government would go a long way to ameliorate the situation and bring about immediate relief for the people.
“I commiserate with my brother, Prof. Babagana Zulum, and the people of Borno State over the devastating flood in the state, which has resulted in humanitarian crisis of high magnitude.
“The government and the people of Ogun State are with Borno in this period of agony and we shall continue to pray for them.”
