Jonathan says four farmers commit suicide over flood disaster

Four farmers in Kogi State have committed suicide as a result of the losses they incurred due to flood.
President Goodluck Jonathan who disclosed this on Sunday in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State capital while undertaking a tour of the areas affected by flood  encouraged the Internally Displaced People, IDPs, in Bayelsa State not to give up hope, assuring that the Federal Government was committed to rehabilitating them.
President Jonathan said, “In Kogi State, four farmers committed suicide because they borrowed money from the bank to buy seeds and flood came and destroyed it. So because they were scared they committed suicide. I was also in a place in Kogi, where a storey building was under water.
“People that are not in IDPs are the people always struggling for relief materials. This flood is all over the world, Asia, Europe, I know that Nigeria flooding is bad. And when we have such disaster food is not the problem, do not make food your priority.
“If you eat once, thank God, I know that none of you would die of hunger here. Before  the middle of November, the water would have receded.”
