President Muhammadu Buhari has
expressed sympathy with traders at Yankifi Market, Kano, who suffered
losses following a fire incident at the market.
The president, in a statement by his
Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu,
in Abuja on Monday, said he was deeply touched by the disaster.
The Saturday night inferno at the fish
market destroyed no fewer than 50 shops.
Buhari noted that the reported loss of
a large number of shops and containers “is economically
destabilizing for the victims.’’
According to him, the fire is an
incalculable setback for the victims who have lost what they laboured
for.
He said that he shared in their pains
with the greatest sense of empathy.
“Regardless of our social status, we
are connected by our common humanity, and therefore, as a leader, I
fully understand what this unfortunate incident meant for the lives
of the victims and their families,” he said.
The president also sympathised with the
entire people of Kano State over the fire, and prayed to almighty
Allah to turn their losses into greater blessings.
