“LETS NOT POLITICIZE THE AKOSOMBO DAM SPILLAGE CRISES – REV. DR. KWABENA OPUNI-FRIMPONG

Rev. Dr. Kwabena Opuni-Frimpong, a former General Secretary of the Christian Council of Ghana from the Presbyterian Church Of Ghana has called on all political parties to desist from politicizing the plight of persons affected by the Akosombo Dam spillage but rather support them in any way we can as Ghanaians.

Over the few days, some 26,000 and more people are said to have been affected by the spillage of the dam, which began somewhere in September and expected to last till the water inflow is reduced.

“Something must quickly be done. Our friends in some parts of the Volta and Oti Regions are going through some crisis. We are one nation. We plead with our politicians not to politicize what people are going through. People need help. This is a genuine need. I know some of you have started mobilizing for people to contribute. Any Ghanaian that can be of help must be there. My own church Presbyterian Church of Ghana is moving to help. Let’s all move to help, so our friends in need know that they are loved by Ghana as a nation that cares.”-Rev. Dr. Kwabena Opuni-Frimpong added.
