The 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has scheduled to commence visits to victims of flooding in the various states of the federation next Tuesday.
The media office of the PDP presidential candidate in a statement on Saturday highlighted: “The tours to states ravaged by flooding become incumbent in view of the trauma that the incidents have caused its victims.
“Consequently, the tours will provide the presidential candidate the opportunity to have an on-sight impact assessment of these flooding incidents and give him a veritable window to input those ecological concerns in his policy documents.
“Recall that the PDP presidential candidate had supported flood victims in Jigawa, Yobe and Kano long before now. “He was also the first candidate to speak on the issue and had counselled that persons living around the most vulnerable areas be temporarily evacuated following the alert by the meteorological agency that a further 24 states faced the risk of major flooding.”
