Standard bearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has described the position of President Akufo-Addo as not very serious in the face of the agitations of some secessionist groups in the country.
According to Mr. Mahama, the president has been tactless in his attempt to resolve the canker.
“It seems that the government does not take this issue seriously. The president himself does not take it seriously. No elderly person has been to the area since this happened, ”John Mahama said Thursday.
Secessionists known as the Western Western Togo Restoration Front have orchestrated two separate incidents in the region recently, resulting in the death of at least one person and property damage.
Faced with the disturbances, the President has affirmed his confidence in the country’s security forces and has assured that the matter is being handled with the utmost urgency.
“I trust the security agencies, the armed forces, the police, I trust their leadership and intelligence agencies and I know that they are all working very hard to make sure this matter is resolved as quickly as possible,” he told Kumasi. Hi FM.
Akufo-Addo also justified his earlier silence on the matter by saying that the country at such a crucial time needs a leader who does not panic.
But the standard-bearer of the NDC considers that these guarantees are inadequate in the face of the activities of the secessionists and qualifies them as “indifferent”.
“It’s not about panic, it’s about taking a problem seriously. Nobody says panic, I don’t know [but it looks like] The whole government, the security service, it’s like they have a very indifferent attitude towards the western Togo issue, ”Mahama said.
Speaking to Woezor TV, the former president also called the Minister of National Security for missing a meeting called by the House of Chiefs of the Volta Region to deliberate after the first attack by the secessionist group on Friday, September 25, 2020.
“The Minister of National Security, instead of going to the area, was in Kumasi with the President, commissioning a composting plant. What’s your business in commissioning when people are seriously trying to divide the country? ”, He added.
