Hmmm.........President Muhammadu Buhari said he was shocked and saddened when he learnt about the tragic event that killed several Nigerians at a football viewing centre in Calabar, Cross River State, on Thursday night.
The president in a statement
on Friday by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba
Shehu, commiserated with the government and people of Cross River State
as well as football fans nationwide over the unfortunate incident.
President Buhari commended the
state government for the prompt action in setting up a commission of
inquiry into the incident and offering assistance to the victims and
their families.
Buhari offered his "deepest
condolences" to the family and friends of the young victims whose sudden
demise he described as a big blow not only to their families, but also
to the football-loving nation.
The president prayed that God
Almighty grant the souls of the departed eternal rest and comfort all
those mourning their irreparable loss.
