The presidential flagbearer of APC to the 2023 polls, Bola Tinubu, made a donation of N50 million to flood victims in Jigawa.

On Tuesday, he announced the donation shortly after commiserating with Gov. Muhammad Badaru in Dutse. He also called for sustained prayers to end flood disasters in the state and the nation.

“Even though I have offered my prayers to the victims through your governor, but I felt coming in person to commiserate with you is important,” Tinubu said.

He visited the governor of Jigawa in the company of Gov. Simon Lalong of Plateau state, APC National Chairman, Sen. Abdullahi Adamu, APC National Women Leader, Dr. Betta Edu, and ex-Chairman of EFCC, Malam Nuhu Ribadu, among others.

Badaru, while receiving the presidential candidate and his APC allies, said that Tinubu’s visit had brought succour to the flood victims.

“Tinubu had earlier called and commiserated with me when the first flood was recorded in Kafin-Hausa, he again called when it happened in Hadejia, Gumel, and Malammadori.

“Also, two weeks ago, when similar incident occurred in Birnin-kudu, Gwaram, and Dutse, precisely Karnaya, Tinubu called again.

“And today, he decided to come in person in spite of his tight commitments to commiserate with our people over the recent tragic incidents of flood,” Badaru said.
