It’s Heartbreaking – Peter Obi Reacts To Maiduguri Flood

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi has expressed deep sadness by the loss of lives and the disruption of activities in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital following the flood that ravaged the city.

Obi said it was heartbreaking to think about the families who have been bereaved or torn apart, the homes that have been destroyed, and the livelihoods that have been ruined.

According to him, he can only imagine the pain and suffering that the people of Maiduguri are going through right now.

“My thoughts and prayers are with them, and I hope that they find the strength and resilience to get through this difficult time,” he said in a statement posted on his X handle.

The former Anambra governor noted that in times like these together as a nation, “we must support each other.”

He called on the federal and state governments to do everything within their powers to provide aid and relief to those affected by the natural disaster.

“We need to work together to rebuild and restore the communities that have been damaged. May God console and protect the people of Maiduguri, and may He give them the courage and hope they need to face the days ahead,” he added.
