As part of measures towards assuaging the effects of the ravaging flood on victims, wife of Delta governor, Dame Edith Okowa, weekend visited some Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps in Asaba.
Okowa, who described this year’s flood as devastating said the magnitude of the menace surpassed a similar occurrence in 2012.
At the camp, in the premises of Institute of Continuing Education (ICE), housing 1,437 IDPs, she admonished them to see the incident as an act of God, saying God was all-knowing and would always do things as they suited Him.
The first lady said, “I am here today to tell you that all hope is not lost because of the flood that has affected everyone of you. Whatever God has created or allowed to happen, is good.
“So, rather than feel bad or keep thinking and become hypertensive, you should use this opportunity to glorify God and draw closer to Him.
“Some persons had had similar flood experience and did not survive it. So, for you who are alive and are here in this camp, please thank God, for nobody can question Him.”
