Mr Kofi Adams, a former National Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has said the creation of Oti Region out of Volta Region would ignite development that would elevate both areas.
He said regional reorganisations held more socio- economic benefits, and must be endorsed by all.
Mr Adams said this during a health walk organised by the Joint Consultative Committee (JCC) on the creation of the proposed Oti Region.
"My view is that if we have an Oti out of Volta, we will be having Volta and Oti and the two would now put their heads together to see how they can effectively plan for the development of the two zones."
"Creating Oti doesn't mean that giant walls will be built between Oti and Volta Region and that you have to seek permission from one side to go into the other side... No! We continue to coexist and expect that in terms of constitutional arrangements some development would come into the Oti zone", he said.
Mr Adams encouraged the people to come out in their numbers and vote "massively for "yes".

Now I accept that Nana Addo is the bravest leader Ghana had had in a long time after Nkrumah. Other leaders of Ghana in the past 18 years paid lip service but Nana Addo says it and he does it. The arrival of Oti and Savannah have arrived, and see how the cowards John Mahama and his accolyte are enjoying it ... I lost Oti, but i'll not let tribalism deny Nana Addo myvote this time round!!!
this boy is a nephew of the Adam in the Genesis story He is led by his stomach and the scent of opportunity. he has given good resons but his motives are suspect.
Why are these southern Voltarians so desperately against the creation of the Oti region? What is hidden behind this decision that the rest is of the nation doesn't know? and if Gold Coast had rejected the plebiscite like you are doing to Oti would there be a Volta region in Ghana? Nobody understand why this is a battle between the 2 and Ghana's Constitution! I swear to God if ewes were the majority in Ghana and a minority community was asked to vote by plebiscite to join them they would have asked for their involvement in that plebiscite to decide whether to accept them or not!why are they not opposing North East since some part was part of that so called Trans Volta Togoland? In any case whether Western Togoland or not Ghana has nothing to lose.
I pray he looses the PM seat there. Selfish self-seeking creature thinking of his stomach! If you have somebody like Kofi Adams who thinks of his creature comfort what do you expect. Slave mentality! When Europe and other regions are coming together you find the political elite thinking as the colonist in the metropolis. Let see if they won't complain of development after governments.
I agree with u. man has become more wiser than his creator. When God created the earth, he did not put any demarcations or boundaries on it. even the seas between the lands are not meant to divide us. but the heart of man has been filled with soo much greed by the dev1l that we forget we are one and don't need these demarcations. this will only increase the corruption level and make us suffer more. do not be f000?led by any promise of development.
so do we need to create more regions to develop our societies. This is just another way to increase the political appointments and thereby increasing the value of kick backs that goes to the party. I am not sure who cursed our politicians but whoever did is surely against mother Ghana. She must be crying bitterly by now bcos his sons and daughters have all gone bonkers.
Who said he is changing or has changed. He is planning to contest for a parliamentary seat there in 2020 and he is scared that if he opposes it as most of his party people are doing, the people there will not veot for him
The first time Kofi Adam has spoken intelligently.
I think this is one of the best submissions i have heard from you .
