According to the concerned Voltarian, the “Oti people are Akan and they do not want any Ewes next to them”. Mr Akufo-Addo quickly rejected the suggestion and indicated that: “It is not a land grab”. The Electoral Commission (EC) has been tasked to organise the referendum in December to determine the creation of the regions.
