President Muhammadu Buhari has
denied the allegation that he had turned his back on his people in Daura
community in Katsina State.
Daura was hit by massive floods
last week.
The President, in a statement by
his Spokesperson, Garba Shehu, said Daura will receive additional assistance
from the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, soon.
The statement added that
“Contrary to the allegations that President Muhammadu Buhari has turned his
back on the people of Daura, we can confirm that pre-assessment relief
materials were dispatched to the victims within 48 hours of the floods.
“Ten trailer loads of building
materials including zinc, planks and cement, as well as tons of grains, cereals
and other edibles have so far been delivered.
“The flood victims also received
blankets and mattresses.
“Materials were delivered to and
signed for by stakeholders while the Emir of Daura, Alhaji Umar Faruk Umar
welcomed the prompt emergency response from NEMA officials.
“NEMA has equally promised that
in line with establishment practices all over the country, as soon as the
assessment of the damage to the flood-ravaged communities is reported upon,
more food items and building materials would be dispatched.”
