Youth enthusiast and son of Nigeria’s President, Seyi Tinubu on Friday sympathised with the people of Borno State over the devastating flood that recently ravaged Maiduguri, the state capital.
Seyi Tinubu accompanied by his brother, friends and associates made a huge donation worth over ₦500m on behalf of his friends and associates.
While speaking, Seyi said that the visit was the first step towards contributing to ameliorating the current difficult situation of the young people affected by the flood.
He assured that the intervention would continue until Borno State especially Maiduguri saw the light again.
Recall that President Bola Tinubu and other dignitaries had visited Borno state within the week in solidarity with its people.
Addressing the state Governor, Babagana Zulum, and other important dignitaries who received him in the state government house, the youth advocate said the people of Borno state are known for their resilience even amidst insecurity that ravaged the state in some years past.
He, however, expressed optimism that this too will pass and the state will come out stronger.
He said, “We are here today, not just as representatives of our family but as members of a collective effort of young Nigerians to bring hope and relief to those who need it most. This is a moment for solidarity, compassion, and immediate action.
“Maiduguri and Borno State have rich histories. The people are resilient. Despite the issues of the past few years, they have braved all odds which is why such a painful national tragedy that befell the state deserves our collective effort, support and prayers. Even more, it deserves our active collaboration and contributions.
