*Says State Needs Urgent Help

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, Mr Peter Obi, has expressed surprise that the Federal Government had yet to respond three weeks after massive flooding hit Bayelsa State.


Obi said flying into the state in a chopper gave him a better aerial view of the situation and that the state needs urgent help.

Obi spoke, yesterday, in Yenagoa, the state capital, when he paid a courtesy visit to Governor Douye Diri at the Government House before they both visited internally displaced persons (IDPs) at the Oxbow Lake Pavilion camp in Yenagoa.

He lamented the hardship experienced by people of the state as a result of the floods and wondered why the federal government had not sent a high-powered delegation to the state with a view to providing assistance for the people.

While calling on the Federal Government to declare an emergency over the flooding in parts of Nigeria with Bayelsa as a case in point, he remarked that as a state that is strategic to the economy of Nigeria, it deserved more from the centre.

He called on the international community, donor agencies and public-spirited individuals and organizations to assist the government navigate through this difficult moment.

Obi lauded Diri’s handling of the situation so far and urged him not to give up while promising to stand with the people in their trying moments.

The Labour Party presidential candidate said he decided to suspend his campaign to sympathize with the people of Bayelsa and other states affected and promised not to resume campaigns until this phase of flooding was over.


He noted that though as governor he experienced the 2012 floods, the current one was more devastating.

Responding, Diri lamented the impact of the flood, which he said has claimed lives, property and destroying the economy of the state.

The Bayelsa governor acknowledged the concern showed by President Muhammadu Buhari by directing federal rescue and disaster management agencies to assist the state. He however noted that the directive was yet to be adhered to.

The state’s helmsman assured people of the state that his administration will continue to stand with them and spare no effort in providing relief to victims of the flood.

Na why men dey carry metal for creek na. Their only interest in Bayelsa is oil. We know.

But they are building rail to Niger Republic with Bayelsa's money

Nna mehnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Peter Obi is a man who cares for the poor and downtrodden

But let us put some blame on GEJ that man no try much to lift his people and state.

That's why we need to vote for a person who can equitably distribute our resources to care for the whole country.

Bayelsa is not in Ghana.

When people are talking, this dullard too will open his mouth.

He failed as a student and failed as an administrator in Anambra. We don't need any further evidence to prove what he could do at the federal level - a leopard can never change its spots.

Bayelsa that remains one of the worst governed states in the federation, closely followed by Abia and Taraba, is what the dullard is talking about. We don't blame him, we blame is identity. He comes from a place where it is forbidden for people to take responsibility for their own actions. So they must look for someone else to blame.

The poster above is a perfect example of a demented agbado urchin....they all reason alike, but when agbado or cassava is on d menu, their eyes go open waaaa......

obi has started using this humanitarian catastrophe as campaign strategy...

As of now we have no govt to answer to emergencies.

GEJ is immediate past president of Federal Republic of Nigeria. He ruled for 6years.

Prior to the APC primaries most Nigerians were in agreement that the current administration had failed. We all suffered the insecurity and inflation together.
What happened?

A certain candidate emerged and knowing he would be a hard sell to reasonable citizens immediately unleashed his propaganda machines. The same tactic that was used to destroy the ENDSARS protests, the greatest show of brotherhood of Nigerian youth from all tribes is being put to use today....Tribalism.

If Osibanjo had emerged the presidential candidate we all know that the other tribes would have voted for him...but now the shoe is on the other foot and this tribe is determined to plunge Nigeria into full blown anarchy because they want to support their tribesmen even when it is crystal clear even to the blind that said candidate is morally, mentally and physically unfit for that position.

For shame....For shame.

These are the policies tinubu promises to sustain and replicate. He was part of the people that promised heaven on earth during the buhari campaigns. Even Buhari himself hardly said anything. A government with no sympathy for the people's sufferings.Bayelsa has been under water close to a week,and no government presence has been felt. No even a statement from the president, expressing his condolences for the deceased and displaced. Pls don't be carried away by herd and crowd mentality. APC will never change. It's an evil party dominated by terrorists and religious bigots
Vote wisely,vote Peter obi. The man we know in our hearts to do the job right

APC is useless

I totally agree with you sir, but you are yet to address the issue at hand...
WHY IS THERE NO FEDERAL PRESENCE IN BAYELSA?

Apc is busy dashing billions to Niger republic

And using the rest money to build rail line to same Niger republic




Apc supporters re goats

And your moniker is Corinthians. Talking without sense. What a shame!

Sai!

Peter Obi the Scammer, the Master Simulator! Nigeria's Tortoise - but like the proverbial tortoise, he will unravel when he thinks he has had it all, and that before Christmas. Meanwhile:


From One of the Obidients

Obi pretends to be one of the sons of Zebedee when even we his Clansmen can recall that he was surnamed Iscariot at birth! This his presidential bid is way beyond what his questing fingers can ever touch, and his weak shoulders cannot bear the tonage of the packed burden he's foolishly begging Nigerians to lay on his neck! Peter Obi should be working in a primary school. Don't get me wrong - not as a teacher. I mean the people who normally wave down traffic with flags to allow children cross. Thereafter, he can be promoted to start following the school bus.

Tinubu just donated 100milli for Kano, meaning What? Fúck the south. He needs the north more than the south. Know this and knkw peace

What is your definition of failure? Why do you allow hatred and bigotry to prevent you from seeing good in others? Hatred is not good to your health, it can lead to unforseen disaster if not now but the future..

You just open your gutter heart to post your hatred towards a man seeking a betterment of some people... This now show me that some people have been brainwashed to believe the way our government are doing is normal..bro.what he said is true in a sane country they won't be treated like that manner

I expected Obi to tell us how the government can prevent flooding.

. See one

Bayelsa, with just 8 LG and with all the benefits accruing to it as an oil producing state, should have no business with poverty.

Bayelsa, if well governed since 1999 should be doing wonders like Dubai.

Though FG could be irresponsible at times, but this time, the blame should be laid squarely on the past and present governors of that state.

See them, Tinubu urchins.
Its been weeks since the flooding happened in Bayelsa, yet the government at the center did not deem it to respond to the disaster happening there.
