The Volta north constituency executive members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) have appealed to President Akufo-Addo to appoint a minister from their constituency
Many people from the Volta Region have expressed varied sentiments about the President’s ministerial nominees. While some are expecting more nominees to be named from the region others have lauded the President for appointing at least two people from the region namely Mr John Peter Amewu for the Lands and Natural Resources Ministry and Mr Kofi Dzamesi, Minister-designate for Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs.
Speaking to the Daily Graphic, the Krachi East Constituency Organiser, Mr Abubakar Salifu, said there were many competent people from Volta north who should be included in the ministerial list.
He said, “the President is aware we have a lot of people from the Volta north. He knows them very well and knows what they can do. Our plea is for him to take the Volta north into consideration in his appointment”
In a press release, the Volta north NPP executive members indicated that the government had overlooked the people from Volta north in his appointments even though the Volta north had been faithful towards the party.
The statement said, “We consider this unfair and would like to bring this to the attention of the President and our dear party, the New Patriotic Party (NPP). Already, the party’s grassroots in Volta north are beginning to get agitated about the situation. People are asking if history will be repeated.”
“The Volta north has always remained faithful to the Danquah-Busia political tradition, but unfortunately we have not been rewarded accordingly anytime the tradition got the opportunity to form government. We are often forgotten when it comes to major ministerial appointments. We would like to use this opportunity to draw the attention of the President, the NPP and the general public to some historical facts to buttress our point.”
The party executive members are, therefore, charging the rank and file of the party and the President to take their suggestion into consideration.

Oh people, how votes came from the Volta and how many came from BA, Ashanti, Central, Western, etc? How many MP's came from Volta Region, Nana is good and God fearing to appoint two minister from that region. With or without Volta NPP can survive.
If you have gotten two appointments i think its enough,the development that will happen in the region and the food that will be put on your table is what is important.
The way u phool de3 I no dey barb o,will this bitterness about Nana Addo be with u for 4 yrs and beyond,shun dey phool u grow...***barred word*** like u come contest give NDC sekof dem no get any competent person to contest nana,NPP can produce 200 competent people who can be presidents,NDC is still begging Mahama to come back and disgrace himself again...this be party u r dying to be part?
NPP volta, please contact ex president rawlings to push your agenda for more ministerial appointment. According to your npp regional chairman he was instrumental with a strategy to reduce votes for ndc. lets wait and see how volta region will benefit from npp because the word number 9 is still fresh in their minds
I totally agree with them in the sense that 80% of the votes the npp gets in the Volta region comes from that part of the region yet they are been treated as not important in the party when it comes to ministerial position. The only seat the npp have in the region currently and previous ones are all from that part of the region .The npp must wake up from its sleep before they also start to advise themselves
The introductory paragraph of this story makes it look far from the truth in that there's no Constituency in the Volta Region or in any region called "Volta North Constituency".

I totally agree with you!
No 'grassroot' should be agitated. NPP/Nana should not appoint INCOMPETENT party members. NPP is not in government to 'Yebediiii keke'. There is work to do and it doest not take only party loyalty but party loyalty/competence. Volta North should exercise restraint and pray for good work done by NPP to affect all Ghanaians.
