Campaign: What Peter Obi told Atiku, Tinubu, others

Dr Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, has urged other candidates to suspend their campaigns and join him in helping the numerous flood victims in the country.

He made the plea on Wednesday while addressing journalists after he visited Governor Samuel Ortom.

Obi had visited the Benue governor to discuss modalities for his planned visit to flood sites in Benue and other states.

According to him, other presidential candidates should show concern considering how the millions they spent on nomination forms.

Floods have hit parts of Nigeria in the last two months with the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) saying that about 2.5 million persons were affected and over 603 persons killed by the flooding caused by torrential rainfall of late.

Houses and farmlands have been submerged in Lagos, Yobe, Borno, Taraba, Adamawa, Edo, Delta, Kogi, Niger, Plateau, Benue, Ebonyi, Anambra, Bauchi, Gombe, Kano, Jigawa, Zamfara, Kebbi, Sokoto, Imo, Abia States, and the Federal Capital Territory.
