President Muhammmadu Buhari has
condoled with the government and people of Bauchi State over the windstorm
disaster.
This was contained in a statement
signed by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity Malam Garba
Shehu, on Monday night.
Shehu quoted Buhari as saying
that the government and people of Nigeria stood with the state, as it struggled
to manage the fallout of the double tragedy.
“Nigerians stand in solidarity
with their fellow countrymen in this difficult time as they face the
devastation with courage and fortitude.
“As a fellow human being, I
understand your pains and inconveniences as you struggle to pick up the pieces
and rebuild your lost houses, schools, markets and places of worship. This is
not something you bargained and we are powerless against the fury of nature.
“On behalf of myself and my
administration, my heart goes out to the victims of this disaster and I pray to
God to replenish their losses,” he said.
About 30 people were feared dead, following heavy windstorm in Bauchi metropolis and
environs late on Saturday.
The storm, which wrecked the
state capital, also affected other towns and villages in the state.
