Please save Anambra state from flooding: Gov Peter Obi cries out

Anambra State governor, Mr. Peter Obi, has called on organisations, the Federal Government and the International community to rescue the state from flooding.


He said Anambra is the worst affected by the current flood ravaging many parts of the nation.

Obi spoke yesterday during a tour of affected local governments of Ayamelu, Ogbaru, Anambra West and Anambra East.

He said he was calling off a trip to Mexico to oversee rescue missions.

According to him: “The only trip I am disposed to undertaking for now is answering calls to help the affected communities or for discussions on how to mitigate the suffering of those affected.”

The governor held meetings with stakeholders at the communities he visited on possible way of rendering immediate assistance.

He set up camps for the displaced and sent vehicles and boats to evacuate those trapped, while ordering cabinet members to stay with affected communities.

According to him: “We will continue to do everything possible to see that our people are taken care of even if it means borrowing this time around.”
