Deji Adeyanju and his Gang Of Flooded Brains
There was heavy downpour in Abuja on Saturday, and consequently, some areas got heavily flooded. The flood remained for a while after the rainfall and disappeared.
Even though the FCT Administration under Nyesom Wike, is mindful of this development and is taking steps to forestall future occurrence, it is funny that characters like this Online Baseless Lawyer who is always looking for attention has been shouting WIKE HAS DESTROYED ABUJA since yesterday, as if last Saturday was the first time some areas in Abuja got flooded. He is also being joined by those who for once, felt they have found something negative to say about Wike.
When there was flood in Abuja in 2019, as reported in the media, was it Wike that caused it?
Meanwhile, this same Deji Adeyanju, was the one who climbed the rooftop to defend someone who built a School and Church on a land granted to her for recreation purpose then. He saw nothing wrong in collecting money to defend someone who contravened land use purpose.
Sad reality is that Abuja has been witnessing floods long before Wike assumed office.
In 2019, heavy rainfall flooded sections of Wuse, Jabi and Lokogoma. In 2022, the same pattern returned: Lokogoma district, Efab Estate, Gudu axis and connecting bridges were overwhelmed.
Therefore, the flood witnessed last Saturday was another reminder of the seasonal reality of a rapidly expanding city with drainage infrastructure, waste management and enforcement of planning rules not keeping pace with growth.
It is also a pointer to damages being caused by scavengers who are daily stealing drainage covers, thereby exposing the drainage to refuse.
To address this, the FCT Administration is already reviewing the 1979 Abuja Master Plan to accommodate the new realities of the capital city.
Drainage covers that will be impossible for scavengers to remove are also being used.
But can an Online Baseless Lawyer, who studied LATE NIGHT LAW understand this? I don’t think so.
