President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday despatched a team to Jalingo, Taraba State, to condole with the government and people of the state over the loss of lives at his campaign rally last week.

The team, led by Mr Boss Gida Mustapha, Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), included Governor of Adamawa, Mohammed Umaru Jibrilla; Senator Ali Ndume; Mallam Mohammed Bello, Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT); Dr Ali Isa Pantami, Director-General of National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA); and Mr Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity.

Senator Yusuf A. Yusuf, a Taraba stakeholder, also joined the team.

At the Taraba Government House, where the team was received by Governor Darius Ishaku, Mr Boss Mustapha, speaking on behalf of the President, lamented the sad loss of eight people during and after the rally, saying they did not die in vain.

Responding, Governor Ishaku expressed “sincere gratitude and thanks to Mr President for promptly sending a delegation to condole with us,” adding that the people of Taraba were grateful for the show of concern.

An official letter of condolence personally signed by the President was presented to the governor by the SGF.

At the palace of the Emir of Muri, Alhaji Abbas Tafida, the leader of the delegation condoled with the monarch and the people on behalf of the President, praying that God will give them the fortitude to bear the loss.

In response, the Emir said it was President Buhari that needed to be condoled, since he lost his supporters, who loved him dearly.

He's never used to give a hoot about a thing like this

Commendable..... And may their souls rest in peace. But a real condolence visit shouldn't be to the governor and an emir. Rather, they should have visited the families of the dead, condole with them and tho no amount of money can substitute for a life, give some amount of money to d families and scholarships to at least one member of each families of d deceased

Buhari till Atiku realize that money is not everything continue wasting money and energy.

Good morning

Beautiful morning

Lol it might not even be his idea... Very Clueless man

This is surely a nice and splendid way of showing condolence to the affected. May God in His infinite mercies grant the deceased peace.

May their souls rip. Let us rescue Nigeria together by voting atiku/obi and liberate zombies from bondage and captivity. Zombies are still on brothers, we can't allow them self destruct

Always leaving trails of sorrow, tears and blood.An APC rallies that have been consistently marked by one unfortunate incident or the other? Of what use of sending a delegation when the lives have been lost already?

election is here so they can be this prompt in condolence visit. Same way Buhari has also remembered how to do media casts to Nigerians. imagine Bubu dey beg for votes. so he can humble like this? #lol

why not console with the family of the bereaved.

Na fear dey catch them

The last statement is very inspiring. "it's buhari who needs to be consoled since he lost his supporters who love him dearly."

Buhari is scared. Lol!

Yes Akirun/ Obi we want

Wait o! Is it water and urine Buhari is using to campaign? Apparently you don't care cos he's obviously dipping his thieving fingers into the bottomless public purse to fund his campaign isn't it? He and his cohorts will be exposed!

Thank God for elections,
That's when our politicians suddenly becomes normal n sensible!
