Obi leads LP delegation to Borno, donates N50M to flood victims
Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) candidate in the 2023 presidential election, visited Maiduguri, Borno State, on Tuesday to offer condolences over the recent flood disaster.
Accompanied by his 2023 running mate, Dr. Datti Baba-Ahmed, and LP’s National Caretaker Committee Chairman Senator Nenadi Usman, Obi met with Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum and the Shehu of Borno, Abubakar Ibn Umar Garba Al Amin El-Kanemi.
“We will continue to stand with the people of Borno, providing aid and resources to help them rebuild and recover from this tragedy,” he said in a statement by his media aide, Ibrahim Umar.
He told the people of Borno that as they navigate the challenging time, “We want them to know they are not alone.
“We are dedicated to helping alleviate the suffering and hardship caused by the floods, which have submerged over half of Maiduguri and displaced thousands of residents.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the affected families, and we will do everything in our power to support them.”
