The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP for 2023, Peter Obi, has urged the Federal Government to provide prompt assistance to the Borno flood victims in order to lessen their suffering.

Obi posted on his X handle, lamenting the deaths and interruptions of life brought on by the flood in Maiduguri.

The necessity of bringing the shattered communities back together, rebuilding them, and restoring them was stressed by the previous governor of Anambra State.

Considering the suffering they must be going through, Obi asked everyone to stand with the victims and encouraged them to be strong and resilient to get through this trying time.

“I am deeply saddened by the multiple loss of lives and disruption of activities in Maiduguri, Borno state capital, which has just been hit by a devastating flood disaster.

“It is 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.

“In times like these, together as a nation, we must support each other. I urge the federal and state governments to do everything within their powers to provide aid and relief to those affected by this natural disaster,” he said.
