Flood has overtaken many villages and towns of Edo State. The areas mostly affected are those bordering the banks of the River Niger and Kogi States. The flood has displaced close to 500,000 people. The surprise however is that the state government was not prepared for the emergency. Considering the alarms that was raised worldwide about flooding. Watching the flood victims on television begging for food is saddening. I want to use this opportunity to appeal to the Federal and State government to as a matter of urgency respond to this emergency situation. Our people deserves more.
