Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi has called on the Federal, and State governments to come to the aid of Nigerians affected by floods and help them back to their feet.
Floods have been ravaging many areas across the states of the country.
Some of the worst hit states include Kogi, Benue, Taraba, Nasarawa and Niger states.
In a post on his Facebook page, the LP candidate said, “The level of damage caused by the ravaging floods in Kogi, Benue, Taraba, Nasarawa, Niger States and in the other riparian belts of the country, is most distressing. The untold hardship, loss of lives and properties caused by the flooding remains of great concern.
“While we cannot control the volume of rainfall that lead to these massive flooding and associated natural disasters, we must prioritize mitigation and resilient measures aimed at protecting lives and properties.
“I once again urge the Federal and State governments to come to the aid of those affected by the floods and help them back to their feet.”
