President Muhammadu Buhari has
expressed his deepest sympathies to all those who were injured following an
incident at the massively-attended campaign rally in Maiduguri, Borno State at
which a pavilion came down crashing on party faithful.
Several party men and women who
wanted a vintage view of the speakers at the rally climbed the roofs of the
pavilions, one of which came down crashing on other spectators.
President Buhari said “I am shocked
to hear about the many who suffered injury following the tragic incident at the
stadium this afternoon in Maiduguri. May Allah heal all those that were
injured.
“I understand that the Borno State government, the Red Cross and other aid agencies are taking steps to help affected people.May Allah heal the injured,” he said.
