In a statement signed by the APC spokesperson, Felix Morka in Abuja said the party is deeply saddened by the pain and suffering that this unprecedented flooding has brought upon the people in Maiduguri and its environs, with the destruction of homes, farmlands, businesses, public buildings, and even the palace of the Shehu of Borno. 

According to Morka, as directed by President Bola Tinubu, the Vice-President, Senator Kashim Shettima, has visited Maiduguri to undertake an on-the-spot assessment of the tragic incident and has further directed federal government emergency services to support the State government to immediately evacuate affected residents to safety, and provide all necessary assistance to them. 

"We urge all agencies of Borno state and Federal governments to spare no effort in tackling all humanitarian challenges occasioned by this disaster". 

Praying for God to comfort and grant full restoration to the victims of this incident.
