President Muhammadu Buhari has sympathised with those that sustained injuries following an incident at the massively-attended campaign rally in Maiduguri, Borno, where a pavilion crashed on the supporters.
Several party men and women who wanted a vintage view of the speakers at the rally climbed on the roofs of the pavilions, one of which came down crashing on other spectators.
Buhari, who expressed sadness over the incident, prayed for the quick recovery of the affected persons.
He had on Monday launched his re-election bid in Maiduguri and Damaturu, Borno and Yobe with a pledge to improve on the gains recorded in the security sector.
