Former President John Dramani Mahama, flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has urged the government to declare a state of emergency in support of the Volta River flood victims.

In a statement, the former President said: “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.”
