Hundreds of Homes Submerged in Weija as Dam Spillage Forces Mass Evacuation
Chaos and uncertainty gripped communities in Weija, Accra, after a controlled spillage from the Weija Dam left hundreds of homes underwater and thousands of residents stranded. The sudden flooding, which began after Ghana Water Limited (GWL) opened all spill gates, forced many families to flee for safety, abandoning homes and treasured belongings. The crisis unfolded after GWL announced on May 27, 2026, that water levels in the dam had surged above 48 feet, well beyond safe operating limits, due to persistent heavy rainfall. In an official statement, the utility company explained that the decision to release excess water was a necessary precaution to protect the dam’s structural integrity and prevent a catastrophic overflow. According to GWL, controlled spillage is a standard safety measure activated when intense inflows threaten to overwhelm the dam’s capacity. However, the move has come at a high cost for the surrounding communities, which have been inundated by floodwaters. Streets have turned into rivers, homes have been engulfed, and residents could be seen wading through chest-high water, clutching whatever items they could salvage. With the scale of devastation still unfolding, emergency response teams are mobilizing to assess the damage and bring relief to those affected. Authorities have pledged to intensify rescue and support operations in the coming days as Weija’s residents face the daunting task of rebuilding their lives after the flood. Source: Apexnewsgh.com
Volta Regional Minister Launches Nkoko Nkitinkiti Programme to Tackle Poverty and Boost Food Security
Regional Minister James Gunu officially launched the Nkoko Nkitinkiti Programme, a flagship intervention under the Government of Ghana’s Feed Ghana Programme. The lively event marked the start of a major initiative designed to reduce poverty, create jobs, improve household incomes, and strengthen food security throughout the region. Addressing an enthusiastic crowd at the launch, Mr. Gunu emphasized that Nkoko Nkitinkiti is more than a poultry farming project, it is a practical tool for economic empowerment aimed at households, young people, and aspiring agribusiness entrepreneurs. “This initiative goes beyond rearing chickens,” Mr. Gunu said. “It is about empowering families, stimulating local economies, and setting the foundation for agribusiness success stories across Volta.” At the heart of the programme is a simple but powerful idea: poultry farming as a catalyst for grassroots economic development. As part of the rollout, the region will receive 180,000 day-old chicks, allocated to beneficiaries—especially households and enterprising youth, looking to build sustainable livelihoods. The Minister expressed confidence that this intervention would provide long-term economic relief for families, promote self-employment, and foster the growth of agribusiness throughout the region. Mr. Gunu also drew on the region’s rich history, recalling how, for generations, families relied on the sale of a few chickens to pay school fees, cover healthcare costs, and meet urgent household needs. “Nkoko Nkitinkiti is a revival of an age-old poverty reduction strategy that empowered families at the grassroots level,” he remarked. The Minister reaffirmed the government’s commitment to supporting agricultural programmes that directly benefit rural communities and bolster food security. He applauded the stakeholders and partners behind the initiative and called on beneficiaries to make the most of the support provided, ensuring the programme’s sustainability and lasting impact. The Nkoko Nkitinkiti Programme forms a key component of the broader Feed Ghana vision, which seeks to boost domestic agricultural productivity, improve food availability, and create economic opportunities nationwide. By distributing three million birds to 60,000 households across all 276 constituencies, the government aims to reduce Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported frozen chicken. This practice has cost the country over $350 million annually. Under the Household/Backyard Poultry Initiative, each participating household will receive 50 chicks, feed support, and technical guidance to help them transition from subsistence farming to self-sustaining poultry enterprises. The programme also includes support for 50 commercial anchor farmers, each set to receive up to 80,000 chicks and the resources needed to produce poultry at scale, thus strengthening the supply chain from farm to market. Local leaders echoed the optimism. The Municipal Chief Executive for Ho, Stephen Adom, assured residents that the programme would open up job opportunities for the youth and help reduce poverty and unemployment. He reiterated the John Mahama administration’s commitment to supporting Ghanaians through additional interventions, urging beneficiaries to use the chicks wisely to realize the initiative’s full potential. As the first batch of chicks arrives and households prepare their coops, the Nkoko Nkitinkiti Programme is poised to transform lives, foster food sovereignty, and build a more resilient agricultural future for the Volta Region and beyond.

Ghana welcomes Pope’s apology over Catholic Church’s role in slavery
Ghana has welcomed Pope Leo XIV’s apology for the Catholic Church’s historic role in slavery, describing it as an “act of moral courage” that was important in the global pursuit of “truth, human dignity and justice”. The Pope issued the clearest apology yet for the Church’s involvement in legitimising slavery and its delay in condemning it for centuries. Between the 16th and 19th Centuries, 12-15 million Africans were shipped to the Caribbean, with about two million dying during the journey. Ghana has long been leading efforts for compensation and apologies from Western nations for the slave trade. The West African nation’s government said the Pope’s recognition of the painful past was an important step towards healing, reconciliation and a just society. ”[The apology] reinforces the growing global understanding that confronting historical injustices demands truth-telling and moral responsibility as essential foundations for justice and reconciliation,” its statement, released late on Tuesday, said. The Pope’s apology was delivered in what is known as a encyclical – technically a letter to Catholic bishops, but which over recent decades have been how a pontiff passes on messages to the world. In the papal letter – titled “Magnifica Humanitas” (“Magnificent Humanity”) – Pope Leo sincerely asked for a pardon in the name of the Church, adding that it was “impossible not to feel deep sorrow when contemplating the immense suffering and humiliation endured by so many”. Leo said Church authorities had at times responded to requests of rulers by “regulating and legitimising forms of subjugation, including the enslavement of of [non-Christians]”. He also acknowledged that earlier in the Middle Ages, ecclesiastical institutions had their own slaves. “This constitutes a wound in Christian memory,” he said of the Church’s record. In April, Pope Leo completed a 11-day, four-nation of Africa – his first visit to the continent as pontiff – and where he made several forthright remarks including lashing out at foreigners who exploit Africa’s wealth for profit. | AFP via Getty Images (Pic): Pope Leo visited Algeria, Cameroon, Angola and Equatorial Guinea in April Ghana said the Pope’s acknowledgment of the “painful history” was significant, at a time the world was having a “deeper reflection” on the effects of slavery and colonialism. The country successfully pushed for a UN resolution in March, which recognised the enslavement of Africans as the “gravest crime against humanity”. Submitted by Ghana’s President John Mahama and backed by the African Union, it aims to provide a pathway to healing and the payment of reparations. It also seeks to address the enduring consequences of slavery like inequality and racial discrimination. Ghana, which still has some of the forts that were used for holding captives under inhuman conditions as they waited to be shipped to the Americas by European powers, is due to host a conference in June to discuss the next steps following the adoption of the UN resolution. On Tuesday, Human Rights Watch said the Pope’s apology marked an important step, but stressed apologies alone were not enough and that real reparative justice needed to go further. Religious institutions, along with states and corporations that benefited from slavery, should “reckon seriously” with their histories and take part in reparative efforts, the rights group added.

Hajia Charity Rahinatu Asoemah Urges TEIN Students: “Take Your Studies Seriously If You Want a Future in Politics”
Although Hajia Charity Rahinatu Asoemah could not be physically present at the TEIN ceremony held at the Nursing Training College in Bolgatanga, her words carried immense weight, leaving a powerful impact on the students and igniting fresh hope in their political aspirations. The former Upper East Regional Women’s Organizer of the NDC and now Deputy Director General of Warehouse at NADMO shared a heartfelt and direct message with the eager audience. She reminded the students that while aspiring to be a politician is a noble ambition, it must be built on a solid educational foundation. “Aspiring to be a politician is a noble ambition, but without a solid educational foundation, that dream can quickly turn into frustration,” she cautioned. Drawing from her own life, Hajia Charity spoke candidly about the challenges faced by those who enter politics without proper qualifications. She likened the experience to being a football substitute who never gets the chance to play. “I know this from experience. I’ve worked hard for the party, given everything I had, even sacrificing my own comfort for others. But because I didn’t have the qualifications, I was left behind when it was time for appointments.” She urged the students to learn from the past and avoid repeating the mistakes of her generation. “If we had known earlier, we would have gone back to school and improved ourselves. Education gives you the leverage you need in today’s political landscape. Without it, you might work tirelessly for the party, but when victory comes, you’ll be forgotten while others reap the rewards.” Hajia Charity also warned against the negative trends in modern politics, insults, intimidation, and lies. “I don’t advise any youth to engage in such politics. It doesn’t end well. Lies may spread quickly, but the truth always catches up, even if it’s too late to fix the damage. Focus on your studies, build your career, and let your achievements speak for you,” she advised. Recalling her own struggles, she shared how false rumors had been spread about her loyalty, making her a victim of political machinations. “People lied that the president said not to vote for me, but after the elections, the same president called me back. It was all politics. That’s why I advise you: don’t let lies and pettiness distract you. Stay focused on your goals.” She further encouraged the students to be observant and discerning about whom they trust in politics. “There are people who will ignore the hard work of loyal members and instead reward only their family and friends. This is the reality, but you can rise above it by arming yourself with education.” Hajia Charity concluded with a passionate call to action: “If you want to succeed in politics, build your career first. Get your degree, your masters, your PhD, whatever you can. Then step into politics with confidence, knowing you can stand your ground and claim your rightful place. Don’t let anyone use you, and don’t let your lack of qualifications be an excuse for others to sideline you.” Though she was absent in person, Hajia Charity’s message left a lasting impression. Many students left the ceremony inspired, determined to prioritize their studies alongside their political ambitions. Her story stands as a powerful reminder that with education and integrity, the youth can shape not only their own destinies, but also the future of their communities. Source: Apexnewsgh.com
Upper East NDC Youth Organizer Urges Appointees to Prioritize Service Over Self-Interest
On Saturday at the Bolgatanga Nursing Training College, the Upper East Regional Youth Organizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Abraham Lambon, addressed an enthusiastic gathering of TEIN students. The air buzzed with anticipation as students from eleven institutions and youth organizers across the region came together for a special mentoring event. Abraham Lambon began by highlighting the purpose of the gathering: “We are here to learn from those who have walked this path before us. The best way to grow is to listen to our experienced party members, understand their journey, and carry those lessons into our own communities.” The goal, he explained, was not just personal growth but the betterment of the region and Ghana as a whole. “The party’s current agenda is only starting,” he reminded them, “and it’s up to the youth to keep its momentum alive.” To drive home his message, Lambon shared a story: Once, a wealthy landlord decided to test the loyalty of his servant, who had served faithfully for over ten years. The landlord confided in his wife, saying, “If this man passes my test, I’ll set him up in business so he can uplift others in our community.” In this tale, Lambon drew a parallel to President John Dramani Mahama, who, recognizing the loyalty and hard work of party members, had appointed credible ministers as a test of trust and service. Lambon warned, however, that not all had lived up to this trust. He cited the example of Mr. Hanan from the region of the previous government, who he alleged had stolen government funds, a model he urged other appointees not to emulate. “My plea to the appointees of John Mahama is this: remember, you have been entrusted with your roles to help the ordinary people, especially those who sacrificed for the party’s victory. Do not repeat past mistakes. Let appointments pass through party structures so that the youth and loyal members benefit.” Recalling the sacrifices made during the party’s years in opposition, including the tragic loss of his colleague from Bono East, Lambon emphasized that now was the time to reward loyalty and hard work. “If we see those sacrifices ignored, we will not hesitate to mobilize and demand justice for our youth.” He also celebrated recent successes, announcing that through the efforts of the National Youth Organizer and the National Care Coordinator, every institution in the region had secured local scholarships for ten needy students each , a tangible fruit of the party’s governance. Lambon closed by urging students to network, learn, and identify mentors among the dignitaries present: “In politics, your biggest asset is your network. Seize this opportunity to connect and grow.” The event drew a remarkable array of party dignitaries and political figures from both within and beyond the region, marking it as a memorable and inspiring day for the youth of the Upper East.

Tebon Zumah Inspires TEIN Students to Pursue Excellence at Bolgatanga Nursing Training College Event
The auditorium of Bolgatanga Nursing Training College was abuzz with excitement on Saturday, as students from eleven institutions and youth organizers across the Upper East Region gathered for a special mentorship event. The guest of honor was Tebon Zumah, the Director of Port, Tema. Addressing the enthusiastic TEIN students, Mr. Zumah urged them to take their studies seriously, reminding them that dedication and ambition can lead to remarkable success. Drawing from his own journey, he shared, “I am the director of a port, a seaport, but it is interesting to know that since the establishment of the Ghana Coast and Harbour Authority, many of our senior brothers have held this position. Rising to this level requires hard work, delivering on your job, and belonging to the right political party.” Mr. Zumah recounted how his career began unexpectedly when he was posted by the National Service Secretariat to the port, a place he knew little about at the time. “When I first arrived, I didn’t even know anything about Seaport. But I embraced the opportunity, worked hard, and after 22 years, I was appointed director by the president.” He emphasized that leadership is about service, not titles. “Our duty is to use our positions to help as many people as we can, especially those from our own communities.” Reflecting on the history of political transformation in Ghana, Mr. Zumah pointed out that many impactful leaders had their roots in student activism and grassroots mobilization. He encouraged the students to focus on their studies while also taking politics seriously. “Your concentration should be on your studies, but you must also be deliberate in certain decisions. Ambition and discipline can open doors to new fields, whether in accounting, law, or even marine engineering.” Mr. Zumah explained that his exposure to different roles at the port helped him discover the variety of careers available, from ship pilots to marine engineers. He urged students to learn from the experiences shared at the event, so they could envision themselves in future leadership roles, perhaps even as director or president of a port. He proudly highlighted the port’s 24-hour operation system, which has boosted employment and created significant job opportunities. “By running a three-shift system, we create jobs for more people. In this system, one job can mean employment for three to five individuals.” Mr. Zumah concluded with words of encouragement: “If you commit to hard work at school and on the job, you will go far. But remember, patience is key.” The event was a massive success, drawing notable politicians and dignitaries from both the region and the national stage, and left the students inspired to pursue excellence in their studies and future careers.

Charles Taleog Ndabon Granted Bail Amidst Internal Party Vehicle Dispute
Charles Taleog Ndanbon, the Upper East Regional Organiser of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), recently found himself embroiled in a contentious party dispute centered on the party’s CHANGAN HUNTER pick-up vehicle. After being summoned by the Upper East Regional Police Command, Ndanbon was granted bail, but the ordeal revealed deep divisions within the party’s regional leadership. Speaking after his release, Mr. Ndanbon shared his perspective, offering insight into the circumstances that led to his brief encounter with the police. He explained that the issue began when he was called in by the police regarding the party’s regional leadership and, more specifically, the pick-up vehicle assigned to him during the 2024 general elections. “I was supposed to return the pickup on the 9th of December 2024,” Ndanbon recalled. “But by the 8th, the vehicle had broken down, so I couldn’t hand it over.” He said he promptly informed the party of the breakdown and made it clear that the vehicle was not his personal property, but a party asset assigned to him for official duties. As regional organiser, he insisted, “I have to have a pickup to run the affairs of the party.” Despite his efforts to communicate with party leadership, Ndanbon said confusion persisted over the allocation of the vehicle. “I don’t know why they didn’t give the pickup to me,” he admitted. He wrote to the party leadership, explaining his need for the vehicle to support party official duties and carry out party responsibilities, but received no response. Undeterred, Mr. Ndanbon continued using the pickup for party work, monitoring internal elections, and traveling to remote communities such as Navarongo and its environs. Tensions heightened when the regional chairman sent the vice-chairman to retrieve the vehicle while Ndanbon was on assignment. “The chairman told me to go and do party work in Navarongo, so I did,” he said. Unexpectedly, Ndanbon received a letter via WhatsApp addressed to the party’s general secretary, accusing him of refusing to return the pickup. “I was shocked,” he recalled. “This is a party matter, an internal affair.” The situation escalated when the regional police’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID) contacted him, alleging that he had stolen the party vehicle. “I was stunned. They said I stole a car belonging to the party,” Ndanbon said. With a lawyer by his side, he was required to give a statement at the police station and was subsequently granted bail. Eventually, the disputed vehicle was released to the police, and the regional chairman inspected it before it was handed back to the party. “That was the end. The car was handed over to the party,” Ndanbon confirmed. However, the saga did not conclude quietly. Ndanbon accused the NPP Regional Chairman of incompetence, blaming him for the party’s declining fortunes in the region. “This is a chairman who came and the party was having three seats for the region, and now he has succeeded in bringing it down to zero seats. So, he is not ashamed of himself to send this matter to the police station,” Ndanbon lamented. He criticized the decision to escalate the issue to law enforcement, insisting it was an internal matter and urging the party to focus on reorganizing for victory in the 2028 elections. He also praised former chairmen, the late Adam and Alhaji Murtala, as examples of hardworking leadership. Meanwhile, in a statement issued by the Regional Chairman, Lawyer Anthony Namoo, He said he found himself compelled to take such unprecedented step. In a letter dated May 19, 2024, he recounted the series of frustrating events that led him and the Regional Executive Committee (REC) to involve the police in a matter they would have preferred to resolve amicably. The trouble began in the run-up to the 2024 General Elections, when the party allocated a pick-up vehicle to each of the 15 constituencies in the region. The vehicles were handed over to the parliamentary candidates (PCs) in Accra, with constituency chairmen as witnesses. It was agreed that by December 9, 2024, these pick-ups would be returned to the Constituency Executive Committees. While most PCs either used the pick-ups for their campaigns or yielded them to the constituency chairmen, and subsequently returned them after the elections, there was one glaring exception: Charles Taleog Ndanbon, the Upper East Regional Organiser. Despite repeated requests and even a formal memo demanding compliance, Ndanbon refused to hand over the pick-up meant for the Nabdan constituency. Neither diplomatic appeals nor interventions by respected family members could convince him to release the vehicle. The REC took up the issue in its meetings, with the matter being discussed at length on March 14, 2026. After months of absence, Ndanbon finally showed up at the April 9, 2026, meeting, explaining evasively that the pick-up had broken down. He implied that, as a regional officer, he deserved to keep using the vehicle, even though it was allocated to a specific constituency. Efforts to resolve the matter internally reached a breaking point. The REC, unconvinced by Ndanbon’s assertions, in particular, his claim that the General Secretary had permitted him to keep the pick-up, formed a committee to retrieve the vehicle. The committee visited Ndanbon’s home, inspected the immobilized pick-up, and confirmed it was suffering from a clutch problem. By May 5, 2026, the pick-up was back on the road. Yet, when representatives again approached Ndanbon to request his handover, he defiantly insisted he would not comply, again citing supposed authorization from higher up. Frustrated by months of stonewalling and with all diplomatic channels exhausted, Anthony Namoo and the REC saw no alternative but to involve the Ghana Police Service. In his own words, Namoo described the regional organiser’s conduct as “impudent” and “insolent,” noting that Ndanbon already owned a personal pick-up and several other vehicles, yet still chose to deprive the Nabdam constituency of its designated pick-up, an act that disrupted party operations for over 20 months. In light of what he called gross misconduct and insubordination, Anthony Namoo formally notified the General Secretary
Tension in Upper East NPP as Chairman Reports Organiser to Police Over Pickup
In the Upper East Region, a storm has been brewing within the ranks of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). The Regional Chairman, Lawyer Anthony Namoo, found himself compelled to take an unprecedented step.

In light of what he called gross misconduct and insubordination, Anthony Namoo formally notified the General Secretary and announced that a police report had been filed to ensure the pick-up was retrieved for the Nabdam Constituency Executive Committee by all reasonable means. Thus, a matter that began with friendly appeals and patient negotiation has now become a police affair, as the NPP battles to enforce party discipline and safeguard its resources in the Upper East Region. Meanwhile, following the report by the Regional NPP Chairman, Mr. Ndanbon was arrested and later granted bail after the pickup was made available at the Upper East Regional Police Command. The CHANGAN HUNTER pick-up Vehicle has since been handed over to the party. Find the full statement below: Source: Apexnewsgh.com
Kojo Oppong Nkrumah Tells Story of Arrests and Intimidation
Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, the Member of Parliament for Ofoase-Ayirebi and former Information Minister, recently spoke out against what he describes as a worrying trend of political intimidation in Ghana. According to him, the current National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration is using arrests and detentions to silence critics, particularly those who express dissent on social media. In a candid conversation with the media in 2026, Oppong Nkrumah painted a troubling picture of life for opposition supporters under the present government. “Over sixteen NPP persons have been arrested for simply making comments on social media or posting things on social media that the government finds unpalatable,” he revealed. The MP claimed these arrests began shortly after the NDC assumed office and have continued, targeting more than sixteen members of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP). His comments were made against the backdrop of the ongoing detention of Kwame Baffoe, widely known as Abronye DC, who serves as the NPP’s Bono Regional Chairman. According to Oppong Nkrumah, Abronye’s situation is especially grave. He recounted how Abronye was arrested, denied bail, and has now been detained for several days, with his lawyers, family, and political associates unable to see him since his arrest the previous week. Oppong Nkrumah did not mince words in his criticism of the government’s actions. “The government is using arrest, detention, remand as a tool to suppress voices that they do not feel comfortable with,” he alleged. He argued that these tactics are designed not only to punish critics but also to send a message to others who might consider speaking out. “The whole idea is to intimidate people and ensure that everybody keeps quiet when they are failing on delivering on the promises they made to the Ghanaian people.” Despite these challenges, Oppong Nkrumah made it clear that the opposition will not be cowed. He assured that the NPP would continue to protest the arrests both in public and in the courts, vowing, “We will use the platforms of public advocacy to call that out as well while we do what is necessary through the judicial system.” The story he tells is one of a political climate where fear and silence are tools of governance, but also one where the fight for freedom of expression and justice continues.

PAC Grills Peki College of Education Over Soaring Losses
It was a tense morning in Parliament on Tuesday, May 19, as the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) turned its attention to the troubling financial records of the Peki College of Education. The air in the chamber was thick with concern as members pored over the audit findings, trying to make sense of the institution’s deteriorating financial health. The numbers told a worrying story. Losses at the college had ballooned from GH¢916,000 in 2023 to more than GH¢1 million in 2024, a rise that set off alarm bells among committee members. The PAC wanted answers. How could the gap have grown so much in just a year? Was it the fault of Ghana’s high inflation rate, as the college’s Director of Finance, Hornesmus Quarshie, insisted? Or was there more to the story? Chairperson of the PAC, Abena Osei-Asare, wasn’t convinced by the inflation argument. Leaning forward, she challenged Quarshie directly. “Your loss of GH¢1 million from GH¢916,000 is purely due to inflation? You spent over GH¢800,000 on transportation costs alone. Looking at the strength of your income, you could have postponed some of these items to avoid incurring the losses.” Her words hung in the air, underscoring the committee’s frustration. “You make a loss of GH¢916,000, and you come here and you think you can come and sit here and explain it away? You are not doing your school any good thing,” she added sternly. As the session wore on, it was clear that the PAC expected better financial stewardship from the management of the Peki College of Education. The story unfolding in Parliament was not just about numbers, but about accountability, and the hope that lessons would be learned for the future. Source: Apexnewsgh.com
