Appeal to address Auchi gully erosion #nigeria

A pressure group, Save Afemai Group, has appealed to the
Federal Government to help in addressing the gully erosion
in Auchi to save lives and property.
The group's initiator, Mr Blessing Agbomhere, made the
appeal in Benin on Monday while addressing a news
conference.
Agbomhere said the gully had claimed lives and destroyed
several houses in the area, posing serious threat to the
community on a daily basis.
He called on well-meaning individuals and the state
government to prevail on the Federal Government to find
permanent solution to the erosion problem.
"The government of Adams Oshiomhole must galvanise the
Federal Government, as a matter of urgency and utmost
importance, to rescue Auchi and its environs from erosion.
"It is capable of eroding the community if proactive
measures are not taken," he said.
The group also urged all sons and daughters of Afemai to
carefully choose those they entrust with positions of
authority as the 2015 general elections draw nearer.
Agbomhere said they should entrust power to those that are
capable of changing the fortunes of the people and the
various communities in Afemai land.
"Self-serving individuals must not be entrusted with power
come 2015," he said.
He commended the people that have empowered youths in
the area, saying others should emulate them.
