National Communications Officer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi has admonished President Akufo-Addo for pampering and aiding the activities of secessionist group, Western Togoland.
According to him, the President has failed to show commitment in clamping down the activities of the group like how he deployed army to the Volta region just because of a voters registration exercise.
“The reason why their(secessionists) activities are fast festering and spiraling beyond our control is because the Akufo Addo government has been pampering these criminals. Their approach so far has been very lukewarm and lackluster, nonchalant it’s like they don’t care about what is happening.
“We were all in this country during the voter registration exercise which was conducted between June and August this year. When it suited their political agenda we saw the kind of military men they deployed to the Volta Region under the guise of the COVID-19 fight. Since these secessionists activities have been going on in the Volta Region we have not seen government display the same level of seriousness in the deployment of the military and other security agencies to fish these criminals out and deal with them drastically in accordance with the law. So they are being pampered and aided that is why their activities are festering.
