The Ketu South Parliamentary candidate for the National Democratic Congress, Dzifa Gomashie said she believes that the President Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo misled on the deploying of the military to the country’s borders and some other communities in the Volta Region During the Voter Registration Exercise.
She made this remark following the President’s denial of singling out the volta region and deploying the region with special military operation during the voter registration.
After the president tour to the region indicating that there was no political or ethnic agenda behind the deployment of the military.
“I think that His Excellency President Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is being misled again because even if the military deployment wasn’t just to the Volta Region or Ketu South, it started in the Volta Region and his own colleagues and appointees spoke in the media and confirmed the fact the military was deployed there for specific reasons.”
The development of the issues was different from what the president was saying and what his appointees were also saying according to the parliamentary candidate.
“Do you not find it exhausting that every time there is one explanation or the other for the same act? Depending on who is speaking there is always a different reason for why the military was there and for those of us who live in the constituency we don’t see anything wrong with them explaining through one person what exactly it is they sought to do. So, depending on who is speaking and on what platform they are on, the reasons for bringing the military into the community are different, that in itself is troubling, and we don’t know who to trust, or who is speaking the truth.”
Mrs Dzifa welcomed the idea of the president to form a committee to investigate into the ferocity in the region
“If he thinks that based on the evidence available to him, this is what he wants to do, I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and to hold my breath waiting to see what exactly will happen but I have genuine concerns as an indigene and as the NDC parliamentary candidate for Ketu South and so if he is assuring me that he has a way of resolving it then I am at peace with that.”
Meanwhile, the president said the deployment of the military was to all the borders of the country and not only the Volta Region.
Despite the explanation of the situation given in details by the Minister for Defense some people still do not seem to be convinced
