Olalekan Adetayo, Abuja
Wife of the President, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, has extended a message of condolence to the government and people of Sierra Leone over the recent mudslide in the country.
According to a statement on Thursday by her spokesman, Suleiman Haruna, the message was conveyed to the First Lady of Sierra Leone, Mrs. Sia Nyama Koroma, through a letter delivered on behalf of Mrs. Buhari by Dr. Hajo Sani.
“I commiserate with you and the people of Sierra Leone on the unfortunate mudslide and heavy flooding which claimed more than 300 lives,” Mrs. Buhari was said to have written in the letter.
Sani was said to have delivered the letter to the High Commissioner of the Republic of Sierra Leone to Nigeria, Mrs. Afsatu Olayinka Kabba, who expressed gratitude of the Sierra Leoneans for the message of condolence and the continued brotherly role played by Nigeria in West Africa.
Mrs. Kabba said her country has seen a lot of turmoil from the rebel war to the Ebola epidemic during which time Nigeria stood by Sierra Leone.
