No Water To Drink In Otuoke by Nobody: 6:39pm On Aug 23, 2015
Residents of Otuoke in Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, the home of former President Goodluck Jonathan, are suffering a crippling potable water scarcity.
Elijah Ateki, the Chairman of the Community Development Committee, said on Sunday that the lack of drinking water was the major problem in the community; adding that the situation was due to the pollution of rivers in the area by oil spillage.
“Otuoke community depends on rivers and now that all the rivers are polluted by oil, it is difficult for us to get potable water here,” he said.
Emmanuel Agede, a corps member serving in the area, said the situation was dire and may trigger an epidemic. “You will not believe it that here in Otuoke, we use water from an unused suck-away pit dug near our lodge for washing clothes and bathing,” he said. “For cooking and drinking, we buy sachet water. Life is very difficult here; we spend the bulk of our monthly allowances on water for survival.”
