A legislator has said, Flood waters that overflowed a drainage
system have displaced more than 50 families in Orihionmwon Local Government
Area of Edo State,
Mr. Friday Ogierhiakhi (PDP-Oriohiomwon) made this known on
Tuesday in Benin, during plenary held by PDP legislators at the state House of
Assembly.
He said that the flood sacked the community due to poor construction
of the drainage system.
Due to the shallow and narrow nature of the drainage system, the
flood water flowed into peoples’ homes and displaced more than 50 families.” The
assembly urged the state Commissioner for Works to intervene and ensure the
repair of drainage.
The assembly also urged the relevant agencies to provide relief
materials to the affected families. It constituted a three-man ad hoc committee
led by Abdulrazak Momoh (PDP- Etsako West 1) to visit the community to
ascertain the level of destruction.
Meanwhile, Mr. Abdulrazak Momoh (PDP Etsako-West 1) has said
that his purported signature on the impeachment notice against the Deputy
speaker, Mr. Festus Ebea, (APC Esan South-East) was forged.
He described the forgery as an “embarrassment” to him. He
disclosed that he did not sign any impeachment notice neither did he attend any
meeting with APC lawmakers where the impeachment notice was signed. He
solicited the assistance of the assembly to ensure that APC lawmakers who
claimed that he signed the impeachment notice were brought to book.
