The National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Volta region has called on President Akufo-Addo to apologise to the people of the Volta region for “humiliations they were subjected to during the 2020 voter registration exercise.”
A statement signed by the party’s Regional Secretary, James Gunu, said, the theme chosen for the just ended 66th Independence Day anniversary, “Our Unity, Our Strength, Our Purpose,” can only resonate well with all Ghanaians especially the people of the Volta region, if President Akufo-Addo used the occasion to apologize to the people of the region.
According to the statement, the ruling NPP government’s poor performance in the last six years has rendered the Independence Day celebration completely meaningless.
“It is obvious that the unprecedented bad governance, unimaginable level of corruption and the incredible high cost of living is eroding the joy and enthusiasm that ordinarily goes with our Independence Day celebrations,” the statement read.
“There is no spirit of patrotism and nationalism in the management of the country’s economy,” it added.
The party further urged President Akufo-Addo and his government to fulfil the numerous promises it made to the people of the region.
The statement cited promises of 1D1F, 1 village- One -Dam, One-warehouse per constituency, 1-million per constituency among a host of road projects as promises the NPP made to the people of the region prior to the 2016 elections, but which were yet to be fulfilled.
