President Muhammadu Buhari has
commiserated with government and people of South Africa over loss of lives
resulting from torrential downpours and mudslides.
In a statement made on Saturday by his Senior Special Assistant on Media
and Publicity, Garba Shehu, President Buhari said he was “profoundly touched by
the unfortunate incident.’’
“I am saddened by the
loss of lives and destruction caused by the natural disaster,” he added.
“Such disasters destroy
within hours everything the people have laboured for, forcing many to start
from the scratch.
“This is particularly
difficult for developing countries battling with poverty,’’ he said.
The President extends
deep sympathy to families affected by the natural disaster, praying that God
will comfort and strengthen them in their hour of need.
“Our prayers and
sympathies are with the people of South Africa as they struggle to overcome the
devastating impact of these floods,’’ the President said.
