President Mills does not only believe in the Most High God, he can through the aid of the Supreme Being perform incredible miracles as well, if the account of a Deputy Minister of Information, Baba Jamal is to be swallowed hook, line and sinker. And there�s no need to doubt him. Call it the Birim River Miracle and you will not be far from right. It is akin to the Bethsaida miracle where Jesus Christ walked halfway across the Sea of Galilee. But that was in Israel; whiles this happened in Ghana. Deputy Minister of Information, Baba Jamal says President Mills� presence in the Eastern region where the Birim River after breaking its banks, claiming five lives, destroying over 500 homes and rendering about 3,000 people homeless, averted what could have been a national disaster. According to him, the water that had flooded the Kwaebibirem district for almost a week all but dried up as soon as President Mills visited the area. President Mills, on Monday, paid a visit to the Eastern Region to assess the extent of the damage caused by the floods in Akyem Oda, Kade and surrounding towns and communities after the Birim River overflowed its banks. More communities in the Eastern Region continue to be hit by the disaster following recent heavy downpour in the region. Parts of the Kade constituency have been cut off entirely due to the severe flooding.
