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.’
