An executive member of the I Care for Flood Victims Committee of RCCG, Mr. Godwin Abumime while thanking their sponsors, said “it is our intention to try and give succor to those who are affected in our little way. We cannot do it all alone but at least the little we can give that is what we are trying to give.”
Another member of the committee, Mr. Fred Aforkeoghene George explained that the current situation in the camp necessitated the setting up of the committee by the parish pastor, Bola Salami with a view to rendering assistance to those in need.
In the same vein, Pastor Olayinka Idowu opined that in other countries where flood occur, the people cannot gather in a camp because they usually die, but “in the case of our country we have survivors which shows God’s love for us”.
