The Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, will commence a tour of states with high incidents of flooding across all geo-political zones in Nigeria on Tuesday October 25, 2022.
Few days ago, the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) and former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi urged all presidential candidates to stop campaign and commiserate with flood victims.
Waziri Adamawa in a statement by his Media Adviser, Paul Ibe, Saturday revealed that he will be visiting Bayelsa state, to kickstart 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”.
