President Muhammadu Buhari has joined world leaders to
commiserate with President Hassan Rouhani and the people of the Islamic
Republic of Iran over the devastating earthquake which struck the western
province of Kermanshah recently, causing the death of hundreds and injury to
thousands.
The President, who described the natural disaster and its
fallout as “very unfortunate, sad and massive,” said the “thoughts and
hearts of Nigerians are with the people of Iran at this trying period.”
The Nigerian leader prayed that God will console the
grieving families and wished the injured speedy recovery.
President Buhari also expressed similar condolences to the
government and people of Iraq over human and material losses suffered in the
wake of the earthquake on their border with Iran.
It will be recalled that Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, had
on Tuesday, November 14, 2017 while declaring open the 6th D-8 Ministerial
Meeting on Industrial Cooperation with Member Countries in Abuja, on behalf of
President Buhari, expressed condolences to the government and people of Iran on
the disaster caused by the earthquake.
