A former Deputy General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Koku Anyidoho, has said there must a conscious mindset revolution in dealing with perennial floods in the country.
He wants Ghanaians to say no to politicians and start a civic revolution since politicians take a huge chunk of the blame for not putting in place the needed structures to control floods and play dirty politics with flooding.
“Ghanaians should begin to start some kind of civic revolution in this country, and if we leave this thing for politicians, this country will not go anywhere. I am a politician but this Ghana does not belong to politicians, it belongs to all of us and so let’s wake up and say we are tired of politicians and ignore them,” he said on Adom FM’s morning show Dwaso Nsem, Friday.
