Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has expressed grief over the boat accident in Kebbi State that claimed 14 passengers.
The boat conveying about 100 rice farmers to Samanaji, a riverine community of Koko/Besse Local Government Area, capsised on Tuesday.
In a statement by his media aide, Tunde Rahman, on Friday in Abuja, Tinubu said the tragedy was heart-wrenching.
He described it as a big loss to the families of the deceased persons and to the communities they served as farmers and merchants.
“I join the bereaved families and the government of Kebbi State in mourning the death of the departed persons. I pray to Almighty Allah to repose their souls and give their families the needed consolation at this time.
“I send my condolences to Governor Abubakar Atiku Bagudu and the good people of Kebbi State,” he said.
