The Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has firmly declared his refusal to support any secessionist group despite the challenges faced by flood victims in his constituency.

This statement follows the receipt of a letter from the Western Togoland secessionist group a few days ago.

Mr Ablakwa emphasized his opposition to the group's activities and expressed embarrassment at receiving their letter. He highlighted his previous stance, making it clear that he does not endorse any treasonable activities.

“This group everybody knows I have been perusing and told them in clear language that what they are doing is not the best. The secessionist group, Papavi, and his people, the ringleaders are from my constituency everybody knows. I said no we are not going to support these things, we are all Ghanaians and we would not engage in any treasonable enterprise.

“Now they have written to me, that ‘you were opposing us, you were fighting us. Do you really think you are also Ghanaian, after what Akufo-Addo has done to you? How do you feel now, you said we are treasonable characters. We are bad guys. You people were doing good things in the Ghanaian Parliament. You will not serve in our future so-called Western Togoland Parliament’,” Mr. Ablakwa narrated.

The secessionist group, particularly the ringleaders from his constituency, had written to him, questioning his Ghanaian identity and expressing disappointment in his opposition.

While finding it challenging to respond to the letter, Ablakwa reiterated his commitment to the Ghana Project, emphasizing the shared stake in the nation's development.

He underscored the importance of unity and rejected any endorsement of divisive or segregationist agendas, even in the face of challenges posed by the Akufo-Addo government's treatment of flood victims.

“But you see, I remain committed to the Ghana Project and I think we have an equal stake. Where will Ghana be without Ephraim Kɔku Amu, where will Ghana be without our Volta River? The Akosombo Dam, I mean we have an equal stake and I will be for the nation and Ghana project.
