The country home of President Goodluck Jonathan, yesterday bowed to flood in Otuoke community of Bayelsa State, prompting the state governor, Hon. Seriake d**kson, to order the immediate evacuation of the residents of the community.
Leadership gathered that the flood, which has swallowed more than half of the community in the last few weeks, eventually moved towards the residence of the president, submerging a large part of the house. Community sources said the kinsmen to the president came to the rescue of the first family and salvaged some of the property of the first family.
Assessing the level of damage during his visit to the affected areas, the governor through his deputy, Rear Admiral Gborubiogha John Jonah (rtd), said the governor has directed the evacuation of the affected area to one of the relief camps located in the community.
The evacuation, according to him, became imperative in view of the hardship that victims of the flood had been subjected to, and, to avert the outbreak of epidemics, adding that the state government was taking the pro active measure with the rising level of water.
Commiserating with the victims, the governor assured that no stone would be left unturned at ensuring that the victims bounced back to life, especially those that had lost their means of livelihood to flooding.
He said the government had ordered importation of seedlings in readiness for the next planting season in order to guide against shortage of food.
It would be recalled that President Goodluck Jonathan during his visit assured the people, especially the victims of government support in alleviating their hardship.
Investigations revealed that about 85 percent of Bayelsa State has been submerged by the rampaging flood.
Common sense is indeed not common.

Yes he has salary for the job he did and he's doing but just remember that Nigerian politician's Salary is more than the salary of any developed country. A lot of money for someone that does nothing. And most of it are looted. Their basic salary is N29, 479, 749.00 per month. Annual salary over 182 M. Multiply by 109 senators, 360 house of reps, ministers, ambassadors, etc. So Where's all that money coming from? LOOT, LOOT & LOOT Naija's money. Awon ole! I say it again. We now can all see why we can't have good roads, good schools, infrastructures, and all that Naija needs. just a group of people legislooting the country dry..Nigeria we hail thee
