PETITION AGAINST THE SPLITTING OF VOLTA REGION
On behalf of the good
people of Volta home and abroad ,we wish to draw the attention of H.E Nana Akufo Addo, the president of Ghana to the exercise of regional reorganization simply splitting of regions which Volta is among . Mr. President dividing a loyal region that shared or traces its historical and ancestral background to a common source; How absurd? Volta Region has always been an abode where our loyalties lies.
Mr. President the same reason why Ashanti Region cannot be split is the same reason why Volta Region shouldn't be split either. Give equal respect to Torgbui Sri III, Torgbe Afede and the Asantehene, respectively.
Government should not hide behind the cowardice policy of faster development and implement myopic policies; Mr. President, Volta and Ashanti region ,even a layman looking at the map of Ghana will attest to the fact that Ashanti is greater in geographical size than Volta Region. It's one thing, trying to weaken the strongholds of the opposition before election and another, In the name of rapid development; Every foresighted person will attest to that fact. To us ,the entire Volta Region is a "HOME" for us, dividing Volta is turning son against father, we can't have another ewe speaking region. Mr. President and your Team. Even long before your existence ,Volta our home has been coping with the lies and unfairness from the previous government and before. If we on the street knows that, Volta Region cannot be divided due to the geographical and population size, and you and your team are myopic to this fact, then we are sorry, Don't give citizens the franchise to call your government a myopic and a one coupled up with shortsighted leaders.
We never for once doubted your intelligence, but we wanting Ghana to develop, We equally don't want any division among the Ewes,Guans and Akans in the region. Our priority. In order to speed up development in various regions, there have been certain divisions ranging from district,municipal and metropolitan assemblies to enable rapid development. I don't see how further division of the regions into two would enable rapid development.
If there is anything we should remember, then it should be the words of Bertolt Brecht, "The worst illiterate is the political illiterate, He hears nothing, sees nothing, take no part in political life. He doesn't seem to know the cost of living, the price of beans, of flour, of rent, of medicines; all depends on political decisions. He even prides himself on his political ignorance, stick out his chest and says he hates politics. He doesn't know and care, the imbecile that his political non participation comes the prostitute, the abandoned child, the robber and worst of all, corrupt officials, the lackey of exploitative multinational corporations" Mr. President our region is underdeveloped ,so how can a divided region speed up development. We will welcome any developmental polices but splitting our home before development won't be accepted. We are calling on well meaningful youth of Volta to stand against this absurdity. Don't sit on the fence, and say, Me kam o, egbɔ na wo ka ge. Join the media crusade against this Hogwash ideology . (amuganutome).
Long Live Concerned Volta Youth!
Long Live Volta!
Long Live Ghana!

Since the creation of the upper east and west from the northern region using development as the trump card. Have they seen the development after 30 years? Development goes beyond artificial division of land mass, families and households.
You cannot split the Volta Region to satisfy your political and parochial interest. Why not split the Ashanti and the Eastern Regions that have relatively larger populations and land area compared to the Volta Region. Volta says no to the intended splitting.
If splitting of the Volta region will bring development to every other area,the President has my full support but if its because of other political motives,the voltarians will surely find out at any cost and it won't be an easy thing..... #LongLiveVolta
Voltarians have lived and continue to live as one people....the ewes...the guans....the akans....we all have co-existed,loved and above all cherished our individual values. What we need for the regon is committed and focused deelopment and NOT DIVISION!!!!!
Division of Volta region is not the best option to develop the region. To my seeing of things what Nana has said that part of the Volta region is Togolese this is what exactly he wants to implement and we the voltaren are not in support please.
They should gain independent now
The world has been on it successful journey thanks to laws, if the world wish to succeed on this path or better than this, the various laws and international conventions must be respected thus the people of Western Togoland are entitled to the right to self determination by birth and by right and must be respected

I humbly appeal against de splitting of our beloved home (mother Volta) into two region. I humbly appeal to gov't to develop Volta region in its current geographical size. This will endear the current gov't to the inhabitants of the region.
