PDP Faults APC On Delta Flood

The Delta State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressive Congress (APC) have traded words over the heavy flooding in Agbor caused by heavy downpour.

While APC claimed that the flooding in Agbor is solely a result of government negligence, the publicity secretary of the PDP in Delta State, Hon. Sunday Apah, stated that APC made misguided and unfounded assertions.

PDP condemned APC’s critique, saying it was an inaccurate portrayal of events that sought to place irresponsible blame on the government led by Governor Sheriff Oborevwori.

“To imply that the flooding in Agbor is solely a result of government negligence is not only misleading but also a stark oversimplification of the complexities involved in managing natural disasters.

“The PDP government in Delta state has consistently taken proactive measures to mitigate the impact of flooding and enhance community resilience.

“Previous administrations laid the foundation for flood management by constructing essential storm drainages, and the current administration, led by Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has continued this critical work diligently.

“To disregard these efforts is to undermine the commitment and dedication shown by our leaders in addressing environmental challenges.

“It is disheartening to see the APC in Delta State capitalize on a natural disaster to score political points rather than engaging in constructive dialogue about solutions and collaboration.

“Instead of fostering fear and division, our collective focus should be on working together to support affected communities and implementing long-term strategies to prevent such occurrences in the future.

“Blaming the government for natural disasters not only misleads the public but also detracts from meaningful discourse that can lead to actionable solutions. The people of Delta State deserve better than political gamesmanship, especially in times of crisis” PDP stated.
