Presiddent John Mahama’s comment that the Volta Region is the electoral ‘World Bank’ of his governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) has incensed the chiefs and people of the Denkyira Traditional Area in the Central Region, who have since warned him not to step foot on their soil.
They said the president’s statement showed clearly that the NDC government was discriminating in the distribution of national resources and have vowed not to partake in the upcoming crucial general election.
Daasebre Oduro Akenten II, Abuakwahene and Denkyira Nifahene, said a news conference on Thursday that ‘’If the president believes the country belongs to all of us, he would not have gone to the Volta Region to say that that region is his World Bank and IMF’’.
The chiefs also rubbished claim by President Mahama that roads and health centers had been constructed in the area.
Daasebre Akenten said that President Mahama is reported to have stated that the NDC government had completed a Community Based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compound for the people of the Denkyira Traditional Area as part of efforts to bring health delivery to the doorsteps of the people which is not true.
