King Charles sympathizes with Buhari over floods in Nigeria
The British monarch, King Charles III, joined other world leaders on Friday in sympathizing with President Muhammadu Buhari over the recent floods that have ravaged parts of Nigeria.
In his message to the Nigerian President, the monarch said he wanted the Nigerian leader to know how deeply saddened he was "to hear of the many people who have lost loved ones and whose lives have been so terribly affected as a result of the devastating floods across Nigeria.”
Nigeria is experiencing its worst flooding in a decade, with over 600 deaths lost and billions of properties destroyed.
Recent flooding has displaced more than a million people from their homes.
Some of the most affected states are Kogi, Anambra, Rivers, Benue, Yobe, Bayelsa, Delta and Cross River.
"...our deepest sympathy goes out to all who have suffered so much, and our hearts go out to those working to support recovery efforts," the British monarch said.
