Leader of the NPP Flagbearer Nana Akuffo Addo has said measures must be taken so forestall any future occurrence of Wednesday’s inferno and floods.
Akuffo Addo, who visited the GOIL Flling Station scene at Nkrumah Circle Thursday said “we must make sure that they are put in place so that we don’t go through this again in future. We have to find a lasting solution to this problem of perennial flooding.”
More than 200 people are believed to be dead from an inferno that started Wednesday night. Residential and commercial properties were also affected in floods that hit most parts of the Capital, Accra, hours before the inferno.
“These are trying moments for the families affected and I urge them to remain strong and continue to renew their faith in the Almighty,” he said in a message signed by Curtis Perry Okudzeto, Director of Communications and copied to the Ghana News Agency on Thursday.
“I came here, on behalf of the NPP and on my own behalf, to extend our condolence and deepest sympathies to all who have been affected by this horrendous tragedy. It is a dark day in the history of our capital, and all of us should pull together.”
“We have to find out if measures that were supposed to have been put in place to forestall this occurrence were or were not put in place. If not, we must make sure that they are put in place so that we don’t go through this again in future. We have to find a lasting solution to this problem of perennial flooding.”
Wednesday’s floods and inferno remain the country’s worst disaster in recent times.
