In a related news, John Dramani Mahama has requested that the government declare an emergency in some areas of the Volta Region.
The former president claimed that priority should be given to the areas most severely affected by floods caused by the spillover from the Akosombo Dam.
The NDC Flagbearer wrote on Facebook on Wednesday, “It is obvious that the scope and scale of the flooding of communities along the Volta River is bigger than our crippled economy can bear.
“I recommend to Government to declare a State of Emergency in the affected areas and request relief assistance from our bilateral and multilateral partners immediately.”
In connection with this, Dzifa Gomashie, the NDC’s representative for Ketu South, criticized President Akufo-Addo for his remarks regarding the flooding.
The lawmaker claimed, in an interview with Class FM in Accra, that the President had disrespected the people of the area rather than provided any workable solutions to the disaster.
President Nana Akufo-Addo visited Mepe to assess the disaster brought on by the planned release of extra water from the Akosombo and Kpong Dams. He claimed he was there to show his support for the thousands of Volta Region residents who have been forced to flee their homes after flooding destroyed their farms, homes, and other property.
