All candidates for the 2023 general elections and their parties have been asked to suspend their campaigns and return to their localities to assist victims of flooding.
Director-General, New Dream for Grassroots Development, Onwubuya Abrahim Breakforth, made the call in Abuja on Thursday after the organisation’s emergency meeting and state of the nation address.
He also asked President Muhammadu Buhari to declare a state of emergency over the massive flooding across the country and assist victims.
He flayed the lack of political will by successive administrations to proactively address flood disaster by constructing the Dasin Hausa Dam in Adamawa State “to checkmate in the future, water from the Cameroon’s Lagdo Dam.”
Breakforth also urged the Independent National Electoral Commission to set up a joint monitoring team to follow up on the campaign spending of political parties in compliance with the Electoral Act of 2020 as amended
