Sen. Aliyu Wamakko (APC-Sokoto), has sympathised with the victims of inferno at the motorcycle and tricycle section of Sokoto central market.
The fire outbreak, which occurred in the early hours of Monday, destroyed many shops and stalls.
Valuable items consumed included; motorcycles, bicycles, and herbal medicine worth millions of Naira.
Special Adviser on Media to Wamakko, Bashar Abubakar, made this known in a statement issued to Newsmen in Sokoto on Monday.
Wamako, who is also the leader of All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, described the incident as a tragic event, while advising the affected marketers to accept the will of God Almighty in good faith.
“I urge the affected traders to remain resilient in the face of adversity. Let me also appeal to the victims to view the incident as part of Allah’s divine plan,” he advised.
He, however, appreciated God that there were no reported casualties in the inferno and prayed to Almighty Allah to replace what was lost in multiple folds.
“I pray for divine intervention, may He replace the immense losses in multiple folds and prevent recurrence of such incidence in future,” he prayed.
