“The images of this flood in Lokoja and its environment call for fast and coordinated response to bring immediate relief to our people while government work on lasting solutions to this problem.

“I call on the Federal Government to work with the affected states so that our people who have been displaced from their homes can return to normal life as soon as possible.
