Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, has visited last week’s flood victims in Mokwa Local Government Area of Niger State, and donated N20 million to them.
Obi made the donation on Monday when he paid a visit to the state.
The former Anambra State Governor who made the donation Monday, promised to visit families of the victims and commiserate with them.
Obi, who was received on arrival at the Niger State Government House, Minna, by the Deputy Governor, Yakubu Garba, expressed sympathy to the government and the people of the state over the loss.
He said Nigerians had no reason to be poor if the leaders were alive to their responsibilities.
Recall that 153 people were reported dead with over 100 others missing in the flash flood that wreaked havoc in Mokwa communities.
Obi “prayed for the repose of the souls of the victims and for God to grant the affected families the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.”
The Deputy Governor who received Obi thanked the former Anambra State Governor for supporting the distressed Mokwa flood victims.
He also commended him for his kindness and love for humanity, especially in the support of victims of natural disasters.
