The UN Coordinator, who had on Friday accompanied Governor Diri on his tour of some flood-impacted communities in Southern Ijaw Local Council, said his visit was a response to the letter from the governor and called for attention to address the devastating effect of the flooding. “What I saw yesterday reminded me of the images I saw of Pakistan a few months ago, and the world took note of that. A third of Pakistan, the size of the United Kingdom, was underwater. The images reminded me of that. We need to be very clear. This is a crisis of major proportions that deserves everyone’s attention.
The IYC President, Peter Timothy Igbifa, while responding to the minister’s claim described it as unbelievable, irresponsible, insensitive, and provocative, and called on President Muhammadu Buhari to probe her handling of the disaster across the country.
