in a press statement signed by the Chairman of the party, Hon. Abdulmumini Ibrahim called on Federal and State lawmakers from Kogi East to rise to the occasion and ensure the affected families and communities are well secured and rehabilitated.
“We urge lawmakers from other districts in Kogi state to support their colleagues from Kogi East in mobilizing support for the devastated communities in Omala, Dekina and Bassa local government areas of the state.
“We call on government to establish IDP camps in the affected areas to ensure proper security and welfare of the displaced persons until the mayhem is fully contained.
