Tinubu, Omo-Agege, support flood victims in Delta with N200m
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinShare on Whatsapp

Presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and the party’s governorship candidate in Delta State, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, have donated N200 million to displaced flood victims in Delta State.

While Tinubu made a donation of N50 million cash, Omo-Agege gave out N150 million worth of relief materials.

Omo-Agege announced the donations yesterday Wednesday on behalf of Tinubu and himself at the Osubi Airport near Warri and the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camp in Okwagbe in Ughelli South Local Government Area of the state.

The APC Delta Deputy Governorship candidate, Rt. Hon. Friday Osanebi led the team to convey the donations to the flood victims at the Kwale IDPs camp, while the Director General of the APC campaign in the state, Elder  Godsday Orubebe led another team to the Patani IDP camp.

Omo-Agege while addressing a mammoth crowd at the Osubi Airport and Okwagbe IDPs camp disclosed that the strike by aviation workers in Nigeria halted the movement of the APC Presidential candidate to Delta to visit some of the IDPs camps.

He said, “Today, I am here wearing two caps. The first cap I am wearing is the cap of the governorship candidate of APC in the 2023 general election. The second cap is that of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Campaign Organisation coordinator in Delta State. The essence of this gathering today is to welcome our incoming president by God’s grace, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. The reason for the visit is to show solidarity, empathy and sympathy with our people as a result of the devastating flood in most of our communities here in Delta State. And also to provide leadership in our fight to uproot bad governance imposed in Delta State in the past seven and half years.

“But today, as you all know, because of the strike in the aviation industry and his reason for coming here, is to visit IDP camps. And you know, to get to the IDP camps today, you cannot get there by road. So, we made arrangements to use helicopters to move our president-in-waiting and entourage from here to IDP camps in Kwale in Delta North, Patani in Delta South and Okwagbe in Delta Central. But we have received a message that because of the strike in the aviation sector, we are not able to get any of those helicopters to move him from here to those IDP camps. So we have decided to reschedule this visit. He has promised that he’s coming back.  Within the next couple of days, he will let us know; at which time the aviation strike would have been called off and we will have access to the helicopters that will take him to those locations.

“But he has also told me to make an announcement on his behalf. That because of the empathy he feels for our people, that I should announce the donation of N50million to Deltans who have lost their homes and source of livelihood and who are currently in IDP camps. This will be made available to them through the DG of this campaign, Elder Godsdey Orubebe. We are going to sit down and work out the modality on how this N50 million will be shared to each of the IDP camps to ameliorate the conditions of our people. We know that no one man can restore the losses suffered by our people. So this is Tinubu’s own way of showing love to the people of Delta State.

“In addition to that, in my capacity as the governorship candidate of APC in Delta State and as Deputy Senate President and Senator representing Delta Central, I have also made arrangements and we have acquired relief materials worth N150 million. We have made all of the procurements, food items, cement, mattresses, rice, roofing sheets and more. And beginning on Friday, we are going to set up a committee that will move from IDP camp to IDP camp to distribute all of these materials to our people who have been displaced as a result of this flood”.

Particularly at the Okwagbe IDPs camp, Omo-Agege expressed sympathy on behalf of Tinubu and himself saying the N200million donation was a heartfelt contribution by both of them to cushion the plight of the victims of the flood.

He said that the people of Delta were prepared to vote out the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, and asked the Okwagbe people to join the APC winning team.
