Ahmad SahabiThe Pan Niger Delta Forum says Sadiya Umar Farouq, minister of humanitarian affairs, is unfit for office and should resign immediately.PANDEF, in a statement on Friday by Ken Robinson, national publicity secretary of the forum, said the parameters used by the minister to arrive at her conclusions in the ranking are “morbid and ridiculous”.
“The parameters adduced by the Minister in arriving at her reckless conclusions are morbid and ridiculous; it is this kind of ‘upside-down’ thinking that has pummelled Nigeria to its present dire state.“PANDEF notes that the Minister had earlier claimed that only four Local Government Areas of Bayelsa state were impacted by the unprecedented flood.
“As a matter of fact, in a State such as Bayelsa, almost every part was reportedly submerged and people in most communities were helplessly displaced. “What is most shocking is that despite the great publicity on the destruction caused by the floods, our President, the ‘Father’ of the Nation, His Excellency Muhammadu Buhari, has refused to visit the affected states in the country, and it would appear, has no interest at all to do so, to show empathy, and give succour and moral boosting to our people,” Robinson said.
