In a poignant display of leadership and compassion, Senator Ahmed Wadada Aliyu, the distinguished representative of Nasarawa West Senatorial District, has extended his heartfelt condolences and unwavering support to the people of Doma Local Government Area (LGA), who were recently struck by a devastating flood.

The flood, which swept through communities including Gali in Sabon Gari Ward, Ungar Kasa (Sugar Cane Padama) in Sarkin Dawaki Ward, and large parts of central Doma town, left a trail of destruction in its wake. Homes were submerged, families displaced, and livelihoods lost, painting a somber picture of the scale of the disaster.

In response to the calamity, Senator Wadada released a deeply empathetic statement through his media office, calling the flood “a tragedy that calls for collective compassion, immediate relief efforts, and strategic long-term intervention to prevent future occurrences.”

“The people of Doma are not alone in this trying time,” he affirmed. “I extend my deepest condolences to the victims of this heartbreaking disaster and commend the proactive response of the Nasarawa State Government under the leadership of His Excellency, Engr. Abdullahi A. Sule.”

His words resonated deeply with affected communities, many of whom have long sought both urgent relief and sustainable infrastructure to mitigate such disasters. The senator’s call to action went beyond sympathy, urging federal and state emergency management agencies, humanitarian groups, and concerned citizens to mobilize relief materials and medical assistance without delay.

For many residents, Senator Wadada’s message is more than a political gesture, it is a lifeline of hope in a moment of despair. His reassurance to remain a “dependable voice” for Nasarawa communities reflects a broader commitment to long-term resilience-building: from improved rural infrastructure to stronger disaster preparedness strategies.

Senator Wadada’s response also highlights a growing awareness among political leaders about the urgency of climate resilience, particularly in flood-prone areas of northern Nigeria. As extreme weather events become more frequent, communities like those in Doma LGA will need more than short-term aid—they need a forward-looking, collaborative approach to recovery and prevention.

“This is a moment for empathy and action,” Senator Wadada emphasized. “Together, we will rebuild and recover.”

The message is clear: while the waters may have receded, the road to recovery is long. But with leaders like Senator Ahmed Wadada Aliyu standing firmly with the people, Doma’s journey toward healing and resilience has already begun.
