"Flooding is a big problem in Kogi perhaps because of its strategic location as the confluence between Rivers Niger and Benue.
“This state has particularly been ravaged this year by flooding. You have lost precious lives, you have lost properties. You have lost farmlands. Part of the reasons we have put together this special walk for Tinubu/Shettima is to draw attention to this flooding problem.
“I want to tell you today that flooding will be a thing of the past when we get to the office. We will work with the Kogi State Government to devise a permanent solution to this problem. The blessings of God exemplified in torrential rain should not be a curse on us."
Tinubu takes a swipe at Peter Obi, Atiku, explains why he's a better presidential candidate for Nigerians
The APC flag bearer had earlier cautioned Nigerians against voting for Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi.
Bola Tinubu said he is a better presidential candidate than all those who are contesting for the presidency with him.
According to the former Lagos governor, there is a need for Nigerians to understand that democracy does not translate to perfection.
