Biodun Oyebanji of Ekiti, who was represented by his Deputy, Mrs Monisade Afuye, denied the reports, on Wednesday, during an assessment of the affected areas in Ado-Ekiti.<\/p>\n<p>The governor regretted the level of havoc wreaked by the flood and assured that his government would map out life-saving mechanisms to mitigate destruction of property in areas submerged by water.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur people should discountenance that rumour that five people died. Nothing of such happened.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have it on good authority that those who fell victim were saved by divers. So, our people shouldn\u2019t panic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was to avoid flooding that this government embarked on aggressive dredging of Ureje and Elemi Rivers early this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also cleared many drains in Ado-Ekiti. If not for those proactive actions, the wreckage could have been worse and more destructive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe sympathise with those that were affected by this flooding. My government won\u2019t abandon them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will take quick steps to address all your issues. We will surely come to your aid because the welfare of the people is paramount,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Oyebanji warned Ekiti residents against unwholesome practices like arbitrary dumping of refuse inside drains and canals and erection of buildings on waterways, describing these as actions that were exacerbating flooding in the state.<\/p>\n<p>Also corroborating the governor\u2019s statement, the diver, who rescued the five victims at Ureje Bridge, Chief Kolawole Falajiki, clarified that the victims were saved while being washed away by water, contrary to reports on social media.<\/p>\n<p>Falajiki, who was among the community leaders in the area that received the entourage, said, \u201cnobody died.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe ensured that we saved all those that were caught in the web of flooding. Commuters numbering over 800 were trapped here at Ureje bank.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey were witnesses to my story that nobody died\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Falajiki alongside spokesmen of Ureje and Eminrin estate: Mr Tayo Olawuyi, Mr Rasheed Akanbi and Mr Shine Salami, applauded the state government for dredging the river earlier in the year.<\/p>\n<p>The community leaders said that the havoc would have been more, if not for the well conceived actions of the government<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only way we can overcome this flooding permanently is for the government to blast the rock that is raising the water level inside Ureje river.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was why the water was overflowing the high bridge that connects Ado-Ekiti to Afe Babalola University.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnother way is that they should use concrete to channel the water downslope. These are the permanent solutions to the challenge\u201d, they said.<\/p>\n<p>NAN reports that areas ravaged by flooding after over five hours of torrential downpour includes; Ureje bridge on Polytechnic road, Eminrin Estate, Ilupeju avenue, Elemi, Ita Eku, Basiri, among others in Ado-Ekiti.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cleared many drains in Ado-Ekiti Government sympathise with those that were affected by the flooding The Ekiti Government has denied reports that five persons drowned in flooding in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital.
