President Tinubu and his convoy were held in a heavy flooding today, as he fulfilled his promise by visiting Benue state
The flooding reportedly submerged the motorway of Makurdi-Lafita highway
A video broadcast by TVC showed a security convoy stranded in the rising waters along the major route connecting Nasarawa and Benue states.
The footage captured vehicles immobilised and security personnel assessing the situation, as floodwaters made passage impossible.

Nigerians React As Heavy Flooding Welcomes Tinubu To Benue State
Meanwhile, recall that the Governor of benue state has been under heavy criticism over his preparation for Tinubu’s visit
The Governor had earlier declared, today, Wednesday 18th of June as a public holiday in the state to welcome the president
Also videos online showed how the state is being redecorated with banners of welcome plastered everywhere
We also saw government workers, working late into the night to make the state even more presentable ahead of the president’s visit
This has raised heavy criticism, as many called the governor who is a renowned reverend father wicked, for placing politics above the people of Benue
Furthermore, with this imminent delay and welcoming flood, it seems the Governor’s efforts may be thwarted
Netizens are however having a field day online, calling it the anger of the gods against blood suckling politicians
Let’s take a look at some comments
One commenter wrote:
You are seeing flood, I am seeing the tears of the innocent slain
Another commenter wrote:
I love this, God please send more rain
Another commenter hilariously wrote
They should fire tear-gass at the flood since it’s causing obstruction
From one comment to the other, Netizens are so happy over this development
But the one question is, what are the odds that the president is in that convoy?
