''We Sympathize With The Flood Victims In Benue State, Advise FG To Be More Proactive - PDP
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), sympathizes with the Government and people of Benue State over the devastating flood that wrecked havoc on farmlands and displaced thousands of inhabitants in twenty four communities including Makurdi, the Benue State Capital.
2. Report has it that the flood disaster which occured few days ago displaced more than one hundred and ten thousand citizens of the State and destroyed hectares of farm lands.
3. We condemn the slow response of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) on the disaster, we wonder why NEMA, an agency created by the Federal Government with the mandate to respond speedily in times of emergency will wait for the so called "Presidential Directives" before performing its duties.
4. In view of the above, we consider NEMA's action unfortunate and unprofessional.
5. Finally, we pray for the souls of all those that lost their lives to rest in perfect peace and console all the affected families to bear this irreparable loss.
Long live the PDP! Long live Benue State!! Long live Nigeria!!!''
Signed:
Adm. Chinwe I. Nnorom
