Ifere’s Article reads in full:
Calabar, the Cross River State capital was once a city to reckon
with. It was peaceful, clean, green, and loving. It used to be well drained.
Erosion and flood cases were rare. When the floods occur, the past governments
were responsive enough to lend a helping hand to the the residents who suffers
most.
Ever since
Governor Ben Ayade administration started governing Cross River State, gutters
are hardly cleared, incidences of floods increased,
and residents are not spared the after flood damage.
Residents of Murtala Mohammed Highway in Calabar are crying
seriously of the negligence by government inability to come to their aid after
the heavy storm that caused the flash flood all over Calabar weeks ago.
Until now, the area opposite the Calabar Sport Club is still
suffering from serious decay. Residents are complaining about outbreaks of
malaria as breeding grounds for mosquitoes increases.
It is shameful that till now the government has not cleared the
gutters to allow these flood water give these residents a relief. It is an
eyesore right in the center town.
Can the government claim ignorant of this embarrassing site.
