An intense ‘fight’ has ensued over the siting of the regional capitals in the newly-created regions.
Six regions namely- Western North carved out of the Western Region, Ahafo and Bono East carved out of the Brong Ahafo Region, Oti carved out of the Volta Region, as well as the North-East and Savannah carved out of the Northern Region would come into existence by Friday, according to Regional Reorganisation and Development Minister, Dan Kwaku Botwe. The Joint Consultative Council (JCC) for the Oti Movement has pledged to accept any town President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo chooses as the capital of the Oti Region.
Already, the JCC, which is made up of chiefs, opinion leaders and youth leaders in the Northern part of the Volta Region, had submitted a memorandum to the President suggesting certain towns for consideration as the regional capital. The Asogli State Council has stated its resolve to “resist” the creation of Oti Region out of the Volta Region should the “due process” not be followed.
Togbe Adzi Lakle Howusu XII, Warlord of Asogli, at a press conference on Tuesday, said the Council was not against the creation of Oti Region, but owed it to the people to protect the “sanctity of Eweland” by ensuring that the Constitution was followed strictly and all Voltarians allowed to vote in the referendum. |
