Citi News<\/strong> Volta Regional Correspondent, King Norbert Akpablie reported that \u201cone of the leaders Eli Dzetro\u00a0who was presenting the petition completely lost focus, started sweating profusely and in the process lost his feet to a nearby protester who grabbed him from his side.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe situation quickly attracted the attention of their members. While some called for water, others begun praying for the young man,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that \u201cJust within a twinke of an eye, another leader Vincent also collapsed and was quickly rushed to the hospital. This marred the presentation as they kept wondering what went wrong with some running for their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Notwithstanding the prevailing situation, the group says they are determined to push their concerns even without the permit of the police or the blessing of the regional minister.<\/p>\n

The group vowed to protest their displeasure over the state of roads in the Volta Region while accusing the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government as insensitive to their needs.<\/p>\n

They outlined some roads in the region which included the eastern corridor roads that are in bad states and accused government of reneging on its promises to fix the roads in the region.<\/p>\n

They gave a month ultimatum to government to see to their concerns or expect incessant agitations.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, one the leaders Abdul Ganiyu Gbemumu who spoke to Citi News\u00a0<\/strong>threatened to withdraw their support to NDC party.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs it a crime for majority of Voltarians to support the NDC? We can assure you our patient has been stretched to the fullest limit. We can assure you the so called world bank will turn into a microfinance company and not even a rural bank. Mr President the time to act is now,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
