Former President John Mahama has backed calls for the government to declare a state of emergency in areas ravaged by floods from the spillage of the Akosombo Dam.

In a Facebook post on Wednesday, October 18, the NDC’s 2024 flagbearer said Ghana’s crippled economy cannot bear the magnitude of the devastation.

He has thus asked President Akufo-Addo to seek assistance from the country’s bilateral and multilateral partners immediately.

Read his post on Facebook

It is clear 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.
