President Akufo-Addo says there is no political or ethnic agenda in the deployment of Soldiers to the Volta Region in the run-up to the Voter’s Registration Exercise.
He said the region was not singled out for any special military operation. He said the deployment of the military personnel along the country’s borders was a nationwide exercise, and was done across all our borders and not in the Volta Region alone.
Speaking at a durbar in Keta held in his honour by the Awoamefia of the Anlo State, Togbui Sri, President Akufo-Addo stated that there are currently one thousand military personnel deployed along the country’s borders, of which 163 are deployed along the Volta Regional border.
The President noted that the easiest way to tell if people are being discriminated against by a Government would be to look out for how the national cake is shared, adding that, on that score, his administration has been exceptional, as his Government has spread development projects equitably in all parts of the country.
