Obi, who shared photos of his visit to Samuel Ortom, governor of Benue, on Wednesday, expressed sadness over the effects of recent flooding in the state.
He added that as a presidential candidate, he intends to see how he can contribute towards alleviating the suffering of the people.
“I called on HE Gov. Samuel Ortom to commiserate with him on the ravages of the floods in Benue state resulting in high loss of lives, property and farmlands and massive displacement,” he wrote in a post on Facebook.
“Informed him of my intent to visit some of the affected areas and discussed how we as presidential candidates can assist affected states.
“I recalled that in 2012 Benue, Anambra and others were similarly affected and the FGN and Nigerians rallied in support of flood victims, especially the IDPs.”
