Some Ewes living in Germany and their counterparts in the Volta Region are allegedly planning to petition the United Nations on the future of the region. The move is to grant autonomous state status to the region.
The Free Press newspaper quotes sources as saying that the move has become necessary because of the way governments treat the development needs of the region, especially the NPP government.
If the request is granted, the new state will be called the Republic of Volta.
The sources named the refusal of the government to explore the huge mineral deposits in the region, the rich oil in the Keta Basin and the removal of the Kofi Annan Peace Keeping Training Centre originally scheduled for Akoefe in the Ho district to Teshie in Accra among others, as some of the reasons for their advances.
They also accused the NPP government of tribalistic tendencies and said there is no reflection of tribal and regional balances in the administration of the country. A UN law stipulated that there should be a referendum for the region to decide its future as it joined Ghana trough plebiscite and this, according to the paper is long overdue.
