Presidential Candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and a former National Chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole have shown kind gestures to Edo State flood victims.
The 2022 flood victims in Etsako Central, Etsako East, and Esan Southeast Local Government Area of the state received forty million naira and relief materials from the politicians.
Oshiomhole, a former governor of the state, who is also aspiring to represent Edo North in the senate in next year’s election, presented the donation to the IDPs at their camp in Oghomere, Etsako Central. He said Tinubu could not make it down due to transportation issues.
According to him, the money was for the people whose farms and property were destroyed by the flood, irrespective of party affiliation.
Oshiomhole said:
“Of the N40 million, Etsako Central, which has over 19,061 affected people, gets N20 million. Etsako East with over 7,742 people gets N12 million, while Esan Southeast with over 6,000 victims gets N8 million.”
The former governor also donated 3,000 bags of rice and other items to the flood victims.
He urged Nigerians to vote for APC candidates during the 2023 general election so that they would continue to enjoy the same gestures.
