BORNO (Sundiata Post) – Former President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday landed in Maiduguri, Borno State on a courtesy visit over the recent floods that claimed lives, properties and livestock across the state.
A statement posted on X by Buhari’s spokesperson, Garba Shehu, said he arrived in the warm hands of Governor Babagana Zulum, Senator Ali Ndume and other political and government leaders in the state.
Shehu said the former president was away on vacation when the state suffered the recent devastating floods.
“He is here to personally commiserate with the Shehu of Borno, the government, and the people of the state following the tragic incident,” the statement said in part, adding that he also visited the Shehu of Borno, His Royal Majesty, Abubakar Ibn Umar Garba Al Amin El-Kanemi.
Around one million people were affected by the devastating flood in Maiduguri in September, with at least 414,000 people displaced and 30 killed.
