The Governor of Bayelsa State, Douye Diri, has lampooned the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, Sadiya Farouq, for visiting the state on Tuesday, several days after this year’s floods had started receding.
Receiving her during a courtesy call in the Government House, Yenagoa, he said the minister’s visit was long overdue given the flood disaster in the state.
He told Farouq that had she visited when the flood was at its peak she would have had a better perception of the catastrophe.
