President Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo-Addo has assured districts affected by the recent spillage of the Akosombo Dam of the government's support to victims whose land and homes have been engulfed by the floods.
The President said it was the government's constitutional duty to offer help to all Ghanaians who may be in distress or suffer as a result of national disasters such as the spillage of the Akosombo Dam.
"I want to assure you that the government is going to do everything in its power to assist and to make sure that things are alright. I think and hope that everybody here would take the message all across to North Tongu, South Tongu and Central Tongu and not politicise the help the government offers to you all.
"If it is the question of counting who votes for me and who doesn't vote for me, I shouldn't be here because you don't vote for me but that is not my concern.There was a problem processing your submission. Please try again later. "Because of the good work that they have done up until now, by the grace of God, not one single individual has lost his life in this crisis" President Akufo-Addo noted.
