Former Governor of Delta State and aspirant for the All Progressives Congress ticket for Delta South Senatorial District, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, has warned that the ongoing flooding in the state may be worse than that of in 2012.
Uduaghan raised the alarm on his Facebook wall on Friday after a tour of some of the affected areas.
He said with the rising level of water, there is a reason for concern.
He said: “Some of the affected victims have refused to move into the camps for various reasons, which includes emotional attachment to their homes, still harvesting their farm produce, especially cassava, no ‘transportation’ (the easiest excuse, but may not be true) etc.
“I want to plead with well meaning Deltans, Nigerians and International Agencies to assist with the rehabilitation of the IDPs. Nothing is too small to assist with. Identify an IDP, send something as an individual or as a group, viz, clubs, old students associations, organisations and societies. Give emotional and Psychological support.
“If God has blessed you and your community is flooded, please go and help your people. Help to move them to IDPs. They need you.
“Our religious leaders should please mobilise their members to assist in one way or the other.
“Medical associations must find a way of assisting.
“The situation is serious and we must all act and act fast too.”
