Four Communities in Governor Willie Obiano’s Anambra East local government area have been submerged by flood with residents losing millions.

The communities are Mkpunando, Eziagulu Otu, Umundeze and Enugu otu

As a result, the Governor has met with members of the State Emergency Management Agency SEMA, the Nigerian Red Cross Society, the Navy among others to look for ways of getting it right in those flooded areas.

Some of the residents had raised the alarm that if nothing was done by the state government urgently, communities would be as good as forgotten.

One of the displaced persons, Mr Izuchukwu Nnoli, pleaded with Government to come to their aid as the flood had taken over their homes and farmlands.

According to him:“This 2019 flood is a terrible experience. I call on the state government to do something about the flooding because farming is our only source of livelihood,’’

However, the State Government, had pledged immediate attention to persons displaced as a result of 2019 flooding in the coastal areas across the state.

In his meeting with the agencies at his home town, Aguleri at the weekend, Obiano said his government would do everything within its capacity to ensure that health and food needed of the displaced persons were made available

He gave the directive to all relevant agencies to ensure that transportation facilities were in place for immediate evacuation of those trapped in flooded areas.

Obiano said: “All medical personnel will also be on ground to assist in avoiding diarrhea outbreak. Food and clean water will be available for all too”

Executive Director, SEMA, Mr Cyril Agupugo briefed the governor on the happenings in Enugu Otu, Eziagulu Otu, Mkpunando and Umundeze communities in Anambra East LGA.

He said the current situation in the communities were scary as most of the houses were completely submerged.

“These areas are underwater with victims’ farmlands and household items worth millions of naira and they are calling for government’s immediate intervention,” he said.

The Transition Committee Chairman, Anambra East Council Area , Mr Obi Nweke urged the displaced persons not to panic and lose hope but to trust in God as help was underway.

“I believe things will be better in no distant time. Life is most important now as you can still re-acquire your lost property.

“When the flood becomes too much, we have no other option than to evacuate to safer places until water recedes then you can move back to your houses,” Nweke said.

While thanking the state government and SEMA, Nweke re-assured the displaced persons of immediate intervention by Government and in any little way he could also help.

OBIANO IS WORKING.

Those areas are prone to flood, I don't see it as a news. They witness it every year

We have uplands that have not been used. Why do people till build houses in flood prone areas.

And the idiot is busy jumping from one hotel to another in search of pvzzy

Obiano is the worst thing to have happened to anambra since creation. This drunken master cannot pinpoint to a single achievement of his failed administration for 8 years .yet they are showing us picture of him kissing his wife instead of doing what he was elected to do

Obiano is a calamity of the highest proportion

We thought Rochas would be the only illustrious son we'd lose to the strong hands of irredeemable insanity. Little did we know that Obiano was honing his skills and mastering the art of acute iberibeism.

Now, it's full-blown. We've completely lost him and his Chi has offered him to the cult of "Political Idiots." We only hope and pray that the traits one governor somewhere in Abia state is exhibiting won't reach this threshold.

What a generation of riffraff governors Ala Igbo is destined with.

But the fools were busy focusing on Lagos flood

The Eastern part of Nigeria has unfortunately been cursed with more disastrous than insightful governors since 1999.
Abia:From Orji Uzor to the present,all have been scandously woeful and corrupt.
Anambra:Aside Obi,the other was fetish,this one is a drunken master.
Imo:Same level and governance as Abia.
Ebonyi:More inept than fetish or diabolical
Enugu:Only state that has had averagely performing governors.
