Available report has it that the Western Togoland separatist
group has finally responded to the flag bearer of the National Democratic
Congress (NDC) over comments made about them.
According to them, the attention of the Governing Council of
Western Togoland had been drawn to a video purported to originate from XYZ TV
station which is making rounds on social media.
They note that in the video Mr. Mahama made some comments
which were “unfortunate, misleading, and a slur on the history of the Western
Togoland.”
The group, in a lengthy Facebook post, questioned how the
former President managed the group during his tenure as he was aware of their
existence.
They went on to cite unfortunate incidents they claimed had
been meted out to their people coupled with utterances against their
nationality.
“This is just some little information we wish to point out to
Mr. Mahama which should be of interest to him if he cares to know.
“We wish to let other National Democratic
Congress executives know that our future as to where to belong will not be
dictated by their personal interests. They should, thus, be careful when
dealing with our history,” part of the statement read.
They added: “This region has favoured them for
several years but what we get in return doesn’t come close to the wealth they
use our votes to get for other areas of this country and themselves. We wish to
advise that it will not be in the interest of Mr. Mahama if he tries this again
with our self-determination issue.”
