On Tuesday, October 25, 2022, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential candidate and former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, will begin a tour of states with high flooding incidents across all geopolitical zones in Nigeria.
A few days ago, Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s (LP) presidential candidate and former Anambra State governor, urged all presidential candidates to pause their campaigns and offer their condolences to flood victims.
Waziri Adamawa announced Saturday, through his Media Adviser, Paul Ibe, that he will visit Bayelsa state to kick off the tour.
The statement read in part;
The tours to states ravaged by flooding become incumbent in view of the trauma that the incidents have caused its victims.
Consequently, the tours will provide the presidential candidate the opportunity to have an on-sight impact assessment of these flooding incidents and give him a veritable window to input those ecological concerns in his policy documents.
Recall that the PDP presidential candidate had supported flood victims in Jigawa, Yobe and Kano long before now. He was also the first candidate to speak on the issue and had counselled that persons living around the most vulnerable areas be temporarily evacuated following the alert by the meteorological agency that a further 24 states faced the risk of major flooding.
