The Chairman of Ahoada East Local Government Area of Rivers State, Hon. Ben Eke has described the flood situation as the worst he has witnessed.
Eke, who made this known in a statement at the weekend said about 54 communities in the area have been submerged, and that most of the communities cannot be accessed.
He commended the Rivers State Government for its support, adding that the Federal Government has done nothing to help.
“This is the worst flood situation I’ve witnessed. Every community in Ahoada East is affected. We are talking about over 54 communities. Right now you can’t even access most of the communities,” he said.
“With respect to 2022 flood, federal has not done anything. Only yesterday, my Chief of Staff told me somebody called to introduce self as the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) Coordinator in Rivers state. We’ve not gotten any contact. NEMA has not done anything to the best of my knowledge,” he added.
