Buhari Condoles With Ghana Over Fire, Flood Tragedies

President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday
commiserated with the government and
people of Ghana over the dual tragedy of
flooding and fire outbreak that claimed
scores of lives in that country.
In a condolence message signed by his
Senior Special Assistant on Media and
Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, the
president assured that Nigeria will stand
by Ghana in its moment of grief and
loss.
“In this moment of grief and loss, the
government and people of Nigeria stand
with the government and people of
Ghana,” Shehu stated.
Buhari noted that the twin tragedies of
flooding and fire outbreak that led to
loss of several lives are painful and
regrettable.
The President, however, noted that the
flooding incident undoubtedly reminds
leaders and governments in the West
African sub-region of their
responsibilities to the problem of global
warming, among others.
He prayed that the souls of the deceased
rest in eternal bliss and that their
families and friends find fortitude to
bear the losses.
