Nigeria’s Former President, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has visited his hometown Otuoke as well as other communities in Bayelsa State to commiserate with victims of flood.
Jonathan who shared photos from his visit on his verified Facebook page on Thursday urged Nigerians and humanitarian organisations to come to the aid of the flood victims.
While lamenting the condition of the victims, the former president sympathized with the victims of this year’s flood across many states of the federation who have lost loved ones and properties worth millions.
He added that, “the worsening humanitarian crisis in the affected states calls for urgent action and collaboration by all stakeholders.”
“I am touched by the dire situation in some of the affected states, especially my home State, Bayelsa where almost all the local government areas are submerged in water and the East-West Road section leading to the State has become impassable, creating scarcity of food and essential commodities.”
