The people of Orumba North and Orumba South in Anambra have urged President Muhammadu Buhari to declare a state of emergency to the unending erosion disaster in the federal constituency.
They made the request in Abuja today when the traditional and town union leaders, led by the member representing the federal constituency in the House of Representatives, Rep Ben Nwankwo, visited Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
The lawmaker told State House Correspondents after the meeting that the disaster was beyond the capacity of the affected communities and the state to handle. He said that the disaster required urgent intervention of both the federal government and international agencies.
