Tinubu Visits Maiduguri After Devastating Flood
President Ahmed Bola Tinubu has arrived in Maiduguri to extend his sympathies to the government and people of Borno State following the devastating flood caused by the Alau Dam.
According to reports, the president touched down in Maiduguri at approximately 3:15 pm, where he was welcomed by Governor Babagana Zulum.
The flood, which struck earlier in the week, submerged large portions of Maiduguri, resulting in significant loss of life and widespread destruction of properties.
During his visit, President Tinubu is expected to pay a courtesy visit to the Shehu of Borno, Abubakar Umar-Garbai El-Kaneni.
From there, he plans to visit one of the camps set up to house those displaced by the disaster and offer support to the affected communities.
The flood has caused extensive damage across the state, leading the Borno government to establish 36 camps to accommodate the thousands of displaced individuals.
The president’s visit is seen as a significant gesture of solidarity, as efforts continue to provide relief to those impacted by the calamity.
The flood’s aftermath has been devastating, with residents struggling to recover from the destruction of homes and essential infrastructure.
Government agencies and humanitarian organizations have been working around the clock to provide relief, but the challenges remain overwhelming.
Many are hopeful that the president’s visit will not only bring much-needed aid but also shine a light on the urgent need for long-term solutions to prevent similar disasters in the future.
In the coming days, authorities will likely focus on rehabilitating displaced persons and reconstructing damaged areas.
Dr Paul Enenche, the Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, has declared an end to live broadcasts of church services. Speaking during Sunday’s service, he urged members to make it a priority to attend church physically rather than relying on watching from home.
Referencing Hebrews 10:25, Pastor Enenche stressed the need for believers to gather together in one place, highlighting that the church assembly plays a vital role in spiritual growth. He noted that virtual participation should no longer be encouraged, except for those living abroad who may not have access to a Dunamis branch.
“For many of you used to watching from your living rooms, this might be the last time,” he said, as the church prepares to shut down live streams on platforms like Dunamis TV, YouTube, and Facebook, which previously aired all Sunday and midweek services.
President Bola Tinubu has blamed the recent suicide bombing in Konduga, Borno State, on remaining elements of Boko Haram, saying the attackers now target vulnerable civilians to cause distractions. Deeply upset by the incident, he called on security forces to intensify their operations and completely flush out the insurgents.
In a statement released by his media aide, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu condemned the attack as cowardly and extended his condolences to the people and government of Borno State. He also directed the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) to step in and support the victims and survivors.
The President further expressed sympathy to families affected by Saturday morning’s explosion in Kano, which occurred at a scrap metal yard. The blast injured 15 people and claimed five lives. Tinubu emphasized the need for proper safety standards in workplaces to prevent such tragedies.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio has expressed strong confidence in President Bola Tinubu’s chances of dominating the 2027 presidential election. Speaking at a grand reception in Uyo to welcome Akwa Ibom State Governor Umo Eno into the All Progressives Congress (APC), Akpabio said he believed Tinubu would secure 99.9% of the votes in the upcoming election.
Governor Eno recently left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the APC, blaming unresolved leadership issues within his former party for the switch. Akpabio, addressing the crowd, praised Eno’s political journey, noting how difficult it was for him to become governor. But he assured him that with his new political alignment, things would take a different turn.
He boldly predicted that Eno would become the first governor in the state’s history to be re-elected in 2027, adding that both the governor and President Tinubu were in for a smooth political ride moving forward.
