Atiku Abubakar to begin tour of flooded states Tuesday
The Peoples Democratic Party's (PDP) candidate for the presidency, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, is about to start a tour of all the flooded states in Nigeria.

The tour will begin on Tuesday, October 25, 2022, according to a statement from his media advisor, Paul Ibe.

Ibe revealed that the former vice president of Nigeria will commence the tour in Bayelsa State.

“The tours to states ravaged by flooding become incumbent because of the trauma that the incidents have caused its victims.

“Consequently, the tours will provide the presidential candidate with 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.”

According to the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), about 2.5 million persons have been displaced and over 603 persons killed by the flooding caused by torrential rainfall.

Places affected so far include Yobe, Borno, Taraba, Adamawa, Edo, Delta, Kogi, Niger, Plateau, Benue, Ebonyi, Anambra, Bauchi, Gombe, Kano, Jigawa, Zamfara, Kebbi, Sokoto, Imo, Abia States, and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
