Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo and the Governor of Delta State, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa on Thursday inspected flood-ravaged communities in the state. The Vice President expressed satisfaction with the proactive measures taken by Governor Okowa’s administration to reduce the effect of the flood on the people who were at the impacted communities.

Speaking at one of the holding camps set up for the displaced persons in Asaba, Oshimili South local government area of the state, Prof. Osinbajo said, “I am very touched seeing these persons who are affected by the flood, I know how disruptive it is for those who are affected. “I thank the Governor of Delta State for setting up this holding camp, the facilities are adequate, the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) in the next 24 hours, will send relief materials to the state,”.

Prof. Osinbajo said that following the effect of the flood, the Federal Government has designated Delta State as National Disaster Zone with three other states of the country. The Vice President assured that the Federal Government will not only contribute to ensuring the welfare of the flood victims while they are at the holding camps but, will work to properly resettle them in their communities after the flood must have receded. Governor Okowa who accompanied the Vice President on visits to impacted communities, in a brief speech at the holding camp, thanked the Federal Government for their speedy response to the flood situation.

He observed that the state was bracing up for more impact of the flood as water in the affected states would pass through Delta State to empty into the Atlantic Ocean. The governor thanked the displaced persons for embracing government programmes aimed at evacuating them to safety, stating, “though we are aware that property, farm produce have been destroyed, our major concern is to save a life.

“We are aware that the coming days may be more challenging as the flood is expected to rise, but our people are prepared to ensure that Deltans are not left at the impacted communities; we are praying that the flood recedes fast for our people to return to their normal life.”

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
