Niger Delta reps ask humanitarian minister to resign, say flood data insulting

The Niger Delta caucus in the house of representatives has called for the resignation of Sadiya Umar Farouq, minister of humanitarian affairs.

The lawmakers made the demand during a media briefing on Monday in Abuja.

The legislators said President Muhammadu Buhari should sack Farouq if she refuses to resign from her position.

On November 3, the minister said Jigawa is the most affected state by the flood disaster that ravaged parts of Nigeria.

Edwin Clark, leader of the Pan-Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), had earlier said that the humanitarian affairs minister was inhumane towards victims of the flood in Bayelsa and other areas in the southern region.
