By Onuminya Innocent in Sokoto
Following last week’s fire outbreak at Sokoto Central Market which led to the destruction of shops and properties worth billions of naira, the Federal Government has sent a high-powered delegation, led by the Chief of Staff to the President, Prof Abdullahi Gambari, to commiserate with the victims and Government of Sokoto state.
Speaking at the chamber of the Government House Sokoto on Monday, Gambari said President Muhammadu Buhari was sad when he heard the unfortunate news of the fire outbreak.
According to Gambari the president should have be in Sokoto in person but couldn’t make it due to other official engagements, hence he mandated them to come and commiserate with the good people of Sokoto state.
