Vice President @KashimSM has on the directive of President Bola Tinubu visited Maiduguri to sympathize with millions of people who were displaced following the devastating flood disaster that ravaged the entire City on Tuesday.

Likewise, Governor Zulum who was outside the country, cut short his official visit to Maiduguri, where he visited some of the camps hosting the victims, including the Shehu of Borno, Dr. Abubakar Garbai Al-Amin Elkanemi, whose palace was also submerged.

This is as hundreds of inmates at the Old Maiduguri Prison were relocated to New Maximum Prison opposite 7Div, Nigerian Army, Maimalari Cantonment for safety, as the old prison was also submerged.

But unconfirmed report also indicated that the Old Prison witnessed a jailbreak during the flooding, before other inmates were evacuated by security agencies.

Addressing thousands of the victims taking refuge at Bakassi IDP camp, Senator @KashimSM enjoined the victims to take what befell them as the act of God.

He then directed authorities of @nemanigeria, @NEDCOfficialNg, @OfficialNCFRMI, among other stakeholders in his entourage to collaborate with Borno State Government under the leadership of Governor @ProfZulum to immediately provide relief items to the affected population.

“I am here under the directive of Mr. President @officialABAT to sympathise with you over the unfortunate incident. I want to commend you for the good conduct despite your predicaments.

”I want to assure you that government will not forsake you as I have directed all relevant agencies of government such as @nemanigeria, @NEDCOfficialNg, @OfficialNCFRMI among others to provide relief materials to cushion your immediate hardship”. @KashimSM stated.

The VP in the company of the @GovBorno among other dignitaries were ferried in a military truck to gain access to Shehu of Borno whose palace was consumed by the disaster and offered sensational sympathy to the Emirate Council.

@KashimSM while addressing the Borno Monarch said: “We are here at the palace to sympathize with you and the Emirate over the unfortunate incident.

”The Federal Government has approved 50 trucks of rice which is now on the way to Maiduguri for onward distribution for the victims”. Shettima told the Monarch.

Responding, the Shehu thanked President @officialABAT, his Vice, Senator @KashimSM and Governor @ProfZulum for the timely sympathy visit.

Governor @ProfZulum who earlier visited Gomari Airport Primary and Secondary School, Bakassi camp, Shehu of Borno’s palace among other places sympathized with the victims, even as he promised them that the government would give the victims maximum support and relocate back to their houses as the situation improves.

Shettima should do what they are known for, he should share rice to the flood victims, that's the only solution APC know
