"After weeks of this disaster and planned spillage of excess water from the dam by the VRA, weeks after, the president now gathers courage and comes to us and the first thing he says to us, is not to apologize for the neglect, its not to apologize for the ineffective way in which he has handled this disaster in the Volta Region, it was not to apologize to the chiefs and people and the ones who voted for him to get the 50 per cent plus one; he did not apologize to us. He comes and rubs it in our faces that if it was about voting, then he wouldnt have been here, but you came with your empty hands and you want to come and insult us ."

"I do not know what I’m going to do. I’m here biting my fingers and praying and asking God why? 3 years going on – 3 years! I have not breathed since 2019. I’m suffocating. I’m drowning."

"This assembly here is so toothless, they cannot even provide a bag of rice or corn. They have not provided one bag of rice or corn in the whole period that this has been going on. Everything you (the president) are collapsing. I wish that I don’t have to raise my voice when I’m speaking but I’m so up my nose in this mess that we find ourselves in, I cannot sleep ."

"His excellency the President should be ashamed of himself," disaster issues in the region have been handled ineffectively by the President."

"Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, our president is older. Is he not still leading this country? All these that he has done abysmally. Do we say that we should clear him off and call him all kinds of things because he is over 80, NO."

"All I am saying is that people should be guided and watch their tongue when they are speaking about Prof Naana Opoku-Agyeman because I will not take that sitting down…and also in that chamber even when we are doing politics let’s be guided how we do the politics."

"I am disgusted, Im horrified that His Excellency can descend that low."

"We the women of Ghana will not tolerate anybody running one of the [women] who has dared to achieve what we want, to bring them down with language that is not edifying, that is not celebratory. That is not empowering we will not sit down and have that happen because there are too few women who have dared to do the things that we want to do."
