Flagbearer of Ghana’s main opposition party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has expressed his condolences as well as the party’s to the families of those who lost their lives in Wednesday’s flood and explosion of the Goil filling station in Accra.

Akufo-Addo referred to the loss of lives as the darkest day in the history of Accra when he toured the flooded areas on Thursday morning.

He called on Ghanaians to offer support and stand by the victims of the flood and explosion as “it is a trying time and a moment to renew our faith in the Almighty.”

“The first thing to do is to deal with the loss and tragedy and then later examine what happened to see if it’s a failure of our laws or its enforcement. Let’s see how it happened and what we have to do in future so it never happens,” Akufo-Addo advised.

He congratulated the security professionals and encouraged them to continue assuring safety and security in the country.
