President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has said advocacy for the Oti Region has no political colors, ethnic orientation, religious affiliation, self-interest and gender bias.
According to him, people opposed to the creation of the Oti Region have tried to create division among the people of the Volta Region due to their diverse differences situation he described as unacceptable.
He said the main reason behind the creation of the new regions is to foster development and good governance.
Speaking at the Adaklu constituency as part of a 3-day tour in the Volta region, he said “There is no political underlying agenda in this thing. I am not doing it for votes.”
“There are plenty of regions in this country where they don’t vote for me. Why would it be any different if these regions are created?” he asked.
He added: “… There is no political agenda in this matter, and there is no attempt to create ethnic antagonisms or factions in this exercise. It is meant to try and improve the governance of our people.”
