Immediate past president,
Goodluck Jonathan has called on well meaning Nigerians to come to the aid of
victims of the flood disaster in Benue State.
Jonathan, while commiserating
with victims of the unfortunate incident, described the disaster as most
unfortunate.
He said, “I commiserate with the
people of Benue state over the recent massive floods that appear to have
affected over 100,000 people. Coming at a time when some members of the Muslim
Ummah in Benue celebrate Eid-el-Kabir, this catastrophe is even more
unfortunate.
“My heart goes out to all of the
victims of the flood as they grapple with this event and I pray for divine
intervention for them.
“I humbly and respectfully appeal
to well meaning individuals in Nigeria and abroad to come to the aid of the
government and people of Benue state because the sheer scale of the flood might
put an unbearable strain on the resources of the state government.
“My family and I will continue to
pray for those affected by the floods and urge all Nigerians to do the same.”
