President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has extended his heartfelt condolences to the people and government of Zamfara State following two tragic incidents that struck the Gummi Local Government Area over the weekend. The state experienced severe flooding, and more than 40 farmers lost their lives in a devastating boat accident while traveling to their farms.

In a statement, President Tinubu expressed deep sorrow over the twin tragedies, offering sympathy on behalf of the Nigerian government and its citizens. The President promised support for the victims and their families, assuring them that the federal government would step in to assist in the recovery efforts.

“We commiserate with the government and the people of Zamfara State over these tragic incidents. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families during this difficult time,” President Tinubu said.

The President has directed emergency agencies to conduct a thorough assessment of both incidents to identify the causes and prevent future occurrences. He also tasked response agencies with collaborating closely with the Zamfara State Government to provide immediate assistance and relief to those affected by the disasters.

The flooding and boat accident mark a tragic chapter for the Zamfara community, but the President’s commitment to support and recovery efforts offers hope for the victims and their families as they navigate these challenging times.
