Flood takes over ex-president Jonathan’s residence
The flood has taken over the residence of former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan in Otuoke, in the Ogbia Local Government Area of the Bayelsa State.
For the past two weeks, the rampaging flood has devastated most parts of the country and almost the entire Bayelsa State.
The Jonathan residence at his Otuoke home town in Bayelsa State was first ravaged in 2012 and Friday 21st of October makes it the second time the incident has occurred.
During his visit to the hometown of the former President to assess the situation on Friday, the Bayelsa State Governor, Duoye Diri described the situation as an “attack by natural disaster.”
He lamented that a lot of the commuters have been rendered homeless due to the situation.
The Governor, who disclosed that Otuoke, which is the host community of a Federal University, had been submerged and most of the locals displaced, including Jonathan, further assured the people of the commitment of the State government to put in place machinery to provide relief materials and medical assistance to victims of the flood.
While empathizing with Jonathan who he said is now also internally displaced as a result of the flood, the governor also visited the former president’s mother, Eunice Jonathan.
Diri, however, solicited the help of well-meaning Bayelsans, corporate organisations and the federal government to enable the State to overcome the present unfortunate situation.
