At the Palace of Shehu of Borno, Tinubu said,” I am just here to sympathise with you. I know that your palace was overtaken by the flood. I heard the report. My Vice President gave me details, but to me personally, I have to cut off my trip to America and decided to be with you even if it is for five minutes to share the moment.

“I thank you very much for your leadership. We will pay attention to this issue of flood and help Borno State. I have seen the commitment of Governor (Babagana) Zulum across the board since the flood incident. ”

He also commended Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed for staying behind Zulum at this trying moment despite coming from the opposition party, adding that it is what is expected of Nigerians.

“The Governor of Bauchi here is of different party and this is what is expected of Nigerians. Thank you very much, I appreciate that. Our diversity should be used for stability and prosperity.

“We, as a government, we pledge with you that we will help you in tackling the challenges resulting from this flood. It is our problem not just your problem. We much share in each other’s problem,” President Tinubu further said.

In his remarks, Borno State Governor appreciated President Tinubu for coming to sympathise with the people of Borno over the incident.

Zulum recalled that Tinubu’s relationship with the people of Borno dated back to when has not become president and recalled the president’s contribution to people of the state during the Zabaramari massacre where Boko Haram terrorists killed over 100 rice farmers.

“Be rest assured that in the people of Borno, you have dependable allies, ” the Governor said.
