Dam spillage: I won’t endorse secessionist group despite the challenges – Ablakwa

Despite the difficulties that flood victims in his area are facing, the Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has vowed that he will not back any separatist organization.

His remarks follow a letter he received a few days ago from the Western Togoland separatist party.

According to him, he was unable to answer to the letter and was ashamed since he opposed their conduct.

“This group everybody knows I have been perusing and told them in clear language that what they are doing is not the best. The secessionist group, Papavi, and his people, the ringleaders are from my constituency everybody knows. I said no we are not going to support these things, we are all Ghanaians and we would not engage in any treasonable enterprise.

“Now they have written to me, that ‘you were opposing us, you were fighting us. Do you really think you are also Ghanaian, after what Akufo-Addo has done to you? How do you feel now, you said we are treasonable characters. We are bad guys. You people were doing good things in the Ghanaian Parliament. You will not serve in our future so-called Western Togoland Parliament’,” Mr. Ablakwa narrated.

He underlined that it was difficult to respond to the letter because of the treatment given to flood victims by the Akufo-Addo administration.

“But you see, I remain committed to the Ghana Project and I think we have an equal stake. Where will Ghana be without Ephraim Kɔku Amu, where will Ghana be without our Volta River? The Akosombo Dam, I mean we have an equal stake and I will be for the nation and Ghana project.

He emphasized that he would not support a divisionist or segregationist agenda, “but you see, it  becomes difficult when NPP leaders act in this manner.”
