'Where will I go? I stay here with my family, even the house we stay here is yet to be completed and you still want me to leave?
Rabiu Alani, a resident in Kuto, Abeokuta, described the directive as “insensitive.”
Sodiq Kushoro, who lives in Sokori, said the only way they would relocate is if the government provides alternative accommodation for them. John David, a clergyman, said although his mind is never at rest whenever there is a downpour in Abeokuta, the financial implications of relocation had made him remain in his house.“If the government can assist us, we will leave here; we want the government to help us financially. Most of us do not have another house, but what we do is that whenever it rains, we will leave here until it stops.”A 43-year-old woman, who lives in Amolaso, said she has nowhere to go with her four children.
