One of the displaced persons , Abdul Isah said the governor had shown that he cares about the welfare of the displaced persons.

“My entire family is here as we have lost everything to the flood.

“Governor Ododo has shown he is governor of all by coming here today not only to give us food and other relief materials, but to have a first hand information on how we are struggling here.

“For the first time in days, I was able to smile because my Governor is here.

“I voted for him and today, he has proven that our votes were not wasted.

“We need a lot of support as I do not even know where to go from here.

“My house will surely collapse after months of being soaked in this flood,” the victim said.

Nine out of the 21 Local Government Areas in the state are affected by the flood.

The State Government had earlier called on the Federal Government and other international bodies to come to aid of the affected persons. (vitalnewsngr.com)
