Distribution of the N150 million in relief supplies and the N50 million in cash provided by Deputy Senate President and Delta APC governorship candidate Senator Ovie Omo-Agege for flood victims in the state has begun. Both donations were made by All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
The Director, Communications and Media Strategy, Delta APC Campaign Organization, Ima Niboro, stated that the money and gifts, which included bags of rice, beans, salt, blankets, seasoning, mosquito nets, clothes, roofing sheets, and nails, were sent to local leaders of the affected areas for distribution to victims in IDP camps throughout the three senatorial districts.
The supplies were gathered at the Agbarha-Otor residence of Chief Ominimini Obiuwevwi, coordinator of the state APC campaign organization in Delta Central, who spoke during the exercise and said the development was in line with the commitment made by Tinubu and Omo-Agege a week ago to provide aid to the victims.
He revealed that the three camps the party visited last week—Patani (Delta South), Utagba-Ogbe Technical College (Delta North), and Okwagbe Secondary School (Delta Central)—were each given N5 million, and the other 15 camps would each receive N2.3 million. The relief supplies would also be distributed equally among the three senatorial districts.
