The Volta Regional Chairman of the NPP, John Peter Amewu, had accused government of diverting state resources to Togo in exchange of votes<\/a><\/strong><\/span> in the November polls.<\/p>\n [contextly_sidebar id=”Ven9hw7UIqubd2lU1eIZbtnKN0K1BdYy”]He insisted that government is transporting farming equipment to Togo to entice residents to come and register in the ongoing limited voter registration exercise.<\/p>\n But the NDC youth activist, Egypt Kobla Kudoto said the claims by the NPP \u201cdoes not hold water.\u201d<\/p>\n He said information available to the NDC suggests that over a million of Ghanaians are living in neighboring West African countries so it is their hope to ensure that such persons are not disenfranchised in the November 7 general elections.<\/p>\n \u201c\u2026we thought it is possible to have more of our country men and women who are residing in Togo, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast and the West African sub region, Gambia and where ever they are to come home and have their names in the register rather than European cities that may not have the numbers that we are looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIf even 20 years ago, we could have over a million of Ghanaians returning from Nigeria due to the disturbances in that country, 20 years down the line I\u2019m sure we should even have more than one million of our people residing in Togo. So if we are able to manage, work hard and get our Ghanaians back home, and Volta Region is the nearest in terms of when they want to come home, to come and have their names in their register because it is time their \u00a0country men and women who are writing their names so they have to come.\u201d<\/p>\n Allegations of road, electrification projects in Togo false <\/strong><\/p>\n On the allegations by the NPP Volta Regional Chairman that government had constructed road and extended electricity project to some communities in Togo to buy votes, Mr. Kudoto said it cannot be true saying \u201chow can a sovereign country be there and we just walk in to build roads?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThere is no project that the Ghana government is constructing in Togo. I\u2019m not sure the protocols of ECOWAS will permit that. It\u2019s not done, it\u2019s not possible. All the issues that he is raising don’t\u00a0hold water,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n 80,000 Togolese on voters register<\/strong><\/p>\n The revelation by the NDC youth activists, comes on the back of claims by the NPP that close to 80,000 Togolese<\/strong><\/a><\/span> are on Ghana\u2019s voters’ register.<\/p>\n The NPP has\u00a0demanded the compilation of a new voters’ register for the November elections arguing that the current one is bloated with names of foreigners and minors hence unfit for the upcoming polls.<\/p>\n But the EC had described the demands as \u201cunconvincing\u201d saying it will not compile a new register but agreed to audit the current one.<\/p>\n Click below to listen to full interview on Eyewitness News:<\/strong>![\"NPP](\"http:\/\/citifmonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/peter-amewu.jpg\")
