Onyiriuka, visits Opuoma, Abacheke, Etekuru flood disaster, donates relief items
The SDP candidate for Ohaji/ Egbema State Constituency in the 2023 election, Hon. Onyiriuka Stanley, has on Thursday, visited Opuoma, Abacheke, Etekuru and other Egbema communities who were ravaged by the Flood to sympathize with the victims and the entire people of the areas.
Onyiriuka who felt bad of the ugly development, donated some relief items to the victims who he told to bear their loses while hoping on God for Providence.
Regretting the unfortunate situation, Onyiriuka passionately engaged Mr. Erickson Ijeoma, a former Youth Leader and Mr. Marshall Ndukwe who he appealed to continue to do their best in reassuring the Flood Victims to push on with their lives.
Onyiriuka therefore called on government, relevant agencies, stakeholders, oil companies, among others to urgently intervene and provide adequate aid, succour and measure to mitigate the suffering of the affected communities.
"The Imo State Government, NEMA including oil companies operating at Ohaji/Egbema should act very fast as to save the affected communities from hunger and starvation because the Flood had displaced them from their homes as well as devastated their farmlands".
He said some of the affected persons including children are yet to be evacuated to a safer ground, hence he reminded the government and NEMA of the need to fumigate the ravaged communities when the water rescinds.
