“This issue is personal to me, because until last September, I lived in a community that was affected by the release of Oyan Dam during rainy season. My family and I had to leave our residence every year for up to five months to stay with relatives due to the flooding of our area.
“I know what it feels, I have been there. I pray that God will grant succour to all other communities across Nigeria going through this flood. Amen.”
