Rev. Dr. Kwabena Opuni-Frimpong, a former general secretary of the Christian Council of Ghana, is urging political parties to refrain from using the situation of those impacted by the Akosombo Dam spillover into a political football.
The spillage of the dam, which started last month, has had an impact on more than 26,000 people.
The impacted constituents of dozens of individuals have been moved to safe havens.
Rev. Dr. Kwabena Opuni-Frimpong urged all Ghanaians to help the impacted citizens in a statement to Citi News.
“Something must quickly be done. Our friends in parts of the Volta and Oti Regions are going through a 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, they belong and Ghana is a nation that cares.”
Rev. Dr. Kwabena Opuni-Frimpong continued by saying that those who were consulted before the leak must be held accountable for the severity of the damage.
