Deputy General Secretary of opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho is blaming President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for the ongoing Western Togoland State agitation by the Separatist due to his Kyebi supremacy agenda.
According to him, since the President was sworn into office he has been trying to hype the late Dr J.B Dankwa who contributed nothing to the development of this country.
Three men in the Volta region were arrested and charged with treason with the possibility of facing death penalty if they are convicted.
The group has been advocating for the restoration of the Western Togoland which they claim stretches from parts of the Northern region, Upper East, Volta region down to the Gulf of Guinea.
Speaking with Kasapa News, Mr Anyidoho indicated that, they are not separating from Ghana as earlier reported but want the world to know their contribution towards the development of this nation.
He said, it will be better for the President to stop giving the unnecessary hype to Dr J.B Dankwa who did not play any role in the struggle of the country’s independence.
Mr Anyidoho questioned if the laws of the country are against freedom of association saying the Separatist called Homeland study group foundation cannot be described as illegal and that they are only trying to tell and write the history of Ghana.
‘We are observing to know the outcome of this, Ghana belongs to all of us, and the court said they cannot be charged with treason as proffered by the police. What offence have they committed by joining a group? I as a Voltarian, am observing with keen interest. But that group cannot be called secessionist it’s not an illegal group. The President mentioned J.B Dankwa’s name throughout his speech during Independence Day celebration. What was the role of J.B Dankwa in the attainment of Ghana’s independence?, the President downplayed the role of Dr Kwame Nkrumah and praised J.B Dankwa instead, that is the why the group also want to re-write history. What is wrong in this step they are taking?
If there is a President who wants to pursue Kyebi supremacy agenda and impose J.B Dankwa on us, then its important Voltarians also look into their history and see where they are coming from,’ he fumed.
According to him, Voltarians are part of Ghana and will continue to be with a voice.
He reiterated that the group is not asking for secessionism as speculated by a section of the public.

"If you know your history then you will know where you coming from"
These are the people and reasons why i campaigned and voted out ndc, instead of you to organise we the grass-root you are there foooooling or do you think this gullible concious mind of people like you koku can help bring back the ndc to power. I wish today is the national congress so they vote you out of your position.
Volta will be independent some day come raining or shining it has began and no one born of a woman can stop it except God. All these agitations won't work I will advice stake holders quickly consult with the leaders of this group to touch on the issues bothering them that generated this independence ideas from Ghana and resolve it before it's too late. When we bring so called professors and scholars to the studios of TV's and Radios to talk history and to finally condemn the act and walk away is rather worsening the matter than doing any good. The police and the judiciary are not the option because it will rather make the group popular and draw more sympathizers to its fold than destabilize it. I refer you all to Nigeria and Biafra movement which is fast gaining recognition around the world. I believe a calmly mutual consultation with the separatist is what we need to look at.
This is Why I say Ashanties, would forever Remain Illiterates and Dunderheadsss........ The Volta Lake that gives you electricity everyday , you are enjoying is from the Volta Region.. If Volta Region goes away. Ghana Would be in darkness.... That is Why Nkrumah sought concensus to add Volta region , so we coould have the akosombo dam.... Now you are there talking Rubbish.... Most High Level Educated people in this countries are either EWES or Northerners..... not the NPPs, who pay for degrees at Universities in abroad , come down here and start bragging with it... Tell Nana Addo to provide his certificate....
KOKU, I BELIEVE YOUR UTTERANCES AND IN OPPOSITION IS GRADUALLY PUSHING PEOPLE AWAY FROM OUR PARTY. PLEASE BE OBJECTIVE IN YOUR CRITICISMS. JB DANQUAH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS TOGOLAND CONTROVERSY.
Oh what a joy it would have been.after all their contribution is only keta school boys and envy.
I am giving my free advice again to ndc as a party to call early congress to elect new national executives and spokes men or else the party will collapse naturally with these Kokuoo anyidoho, Kofi Adamu, Solomon nkansah, felix kwakye ofosu and that mosquito. I rest my case. LONG LIVE NANA ADDO-BAWUMIA, LONG LIVE NPP AND SUPPORTERS, LONG LIVE GHANA
Koku, ***barred word*** stop this ***barred word*** it will help you and your pay masters.
'Akoa yi agyimi paa'.
Well JB did make history which will be recognized forever in history books of Ghana, what about y'all? Leave the President alone!!!
