The floods in Kogi state have created a major crisis for millions of people and done immense damage to the infrastructure of the state.

The roads are blocked, lives have been lost, homes have been swept away, panic has set in and chaos reigns in parts of the state as a consequence of fear.

The Governor of the state, my friend and brother Governor Yahaya Bello, is doing his very best to stem the tide and restore normalcy but it appears that he has been left on his own to manage this ecological and humanitarian crisis by the Federal Government.

I call on the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari, not to neglect or abandon Kogi state and to direct the relevant agencies, including NEMA, to swing into action and come to their aid.

I urge and implore him to intervene in this humanitarian crisis in a positive, impactful and meaningful way.

The good people of Kogi state deserve all the help they can get from the Federal Government including financial support and intervention and the formal declaration of a humanitarian crisis.

The Federal Government and the nation cannot sit by idly and watch this tragedy, caused by nature and the elemental forces, destroy the infrastructures of the state and not intervene.

My heart and prayers go out to the Governor and people of Kogi at this difficult time.

Many of us are deeply concerned, are with you and are praying for you.

Stay strong and know that you are not alone!

This too shall pass and all shall be restored.

May the souls of those that have lost their lives in this crisis rest in peace and may the Lord strengthen and comfort their families and loved ones.

Some motorists have decided to follow Minna road. It's a longer but better option.

The irresponsibility shown by politicians and government in Nigeria is mind boggling. They couldn't even stop the traffic and redirect vehicles to use alternative routes or just ask them to return if there are no alternative routes? They just allowed long line of vehicles carrying thousands of people to be endangered in such manner?! All those people stuck in the middle of that crazy flood are like sitting ducks living by grace. Because if the water level rises a bit which is very possible, they will all be washed away!!

Even now, if the government is responsible both the federal and state, they would have brought in helicopters to start airlifting some of the stranded passengers to safe grounds. Yet the writer was even praising Yaha Bello? What has that fool done to help these stranded travellers

HedwigesMaduro:
That should be the road through Jenna axis? Hope the road is better now. It was an absolute shambles some years ago why I passed through it.

Yahaya Bello said once tinubu becomes president, the flood will disappear.
I think you’ll have to prepare to stay much longer than expected.

rickpat:
politicians should bury their miserable heads in shame... absolutely disgraceful...once the masses are stranded no politician cares...THEY ARE GOING ABOUT THEIR CAMPAIGN ON PRIVATE JETS AND HELICOPTERS....one go Michigan go dey talk to people living in an organized society and wont even vote...the other one dey London dey chill,the other one base for Dubai. .. shameless bunch

I PITY THIS NATION!!!...

vowiski:
Very useless country …

In a sane clime, they would have prepared for this a long time ago,

With OBi in charge this ugly situation will be put to an end

Lifestone:
Even in the most developed country, flood happens. Florida hasn't recovered, Pakistan is still grappling. This is a disaster don't polictise it
