Fifty-seven chiefs in the Nkwanta South constituency of the Volta Region, comprising 5 Paramount Chiefs and 52 sub-Chiefs have declared their unflinching and unalloyed support for the 2016 presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Akufo-Addo, in this year’s election.
Led by Nana Obonbo Sewura Lipuwura II, Paramount Chief of Nkwanta Akyode Traditional Area, they stated that they have had the opportunity to witness governance under the NPP and NDC over the last 16 years, and are under no illusion that a government led by the NPP represents Ghana’s best hope of offering her citizens progress and prosperity.
The Paramount Chief of Nkwanta Akyode Traditional Area made this known on Wednesday, October 26, 2016, when Nana Akufo-Addo and the leadership of the NPP in the Volta Region paid a courtesy call on him at his palace in Nkwanta.
“Under President Kufuor’s tenure, I can say with all certainty that, all was well with Ghana. There was money in the land and in the pockets of people. However, under President Mahama men are crying, women are crying, the youth and old are all crying,” the Nkwanta Chief lamented.
He continue, “There’s a saying that you visit two markets before one can tell which is the best. We have, indeed, visited two markets over the last 16 years, and we know which is best. We know it is the NPP that can help us.”
With a majority of the youth of Nkwanta unemployed, Nana Obonbo Sewura Lipuwura II endorsed Nana Akufo-Addo’s 1-District-1-Factory policy, adding that “we know you can do it. We have already allocated a parcel of land for the factory to be sited. We know you can do it.”
Akin to the pledge made by Nana Akufo-Addo to create the ‘Western-North’ region out of the Volta Region, the Chiefs of Nkwanta appealed to Nana Akufo-Addo “to create the Oti Region, and site the capital in Nkwanta.”
In concluding, Nana Obonbo Sewura Lipuwura II, reiterated the unwavering support of 56 other Chiefs in the Nkwanta Akyode Traditional Area, praying for good health, wisdom, long life for Nana Akufo-Addo.

NPP is always excited by such pronouncements only for the same chiefs they claimed have endorsed them to deny such claims. Are these signs of desperation or a drowning man clutching to straws? The Asantehene has admonished his chiefs not to be overtaken by such small, small envelopes and items that are brought to the palace to engage in verbal diarrhea.
When is coming is doing. #Nanab3ba
And the next story will be ... Chiefs in Volta Region deny endorsing Akuffo Addo. What kind of desperation is this?
These are signs of a losing party. Last week they said the whole Ashanti chiefs about 51 endorsed Nana only for the chiefs to come and deny such allegations. They did same in the Northern region and now they are continuing in Volta? this is pure desperation of a losing party. NPP is dead. JM TOASO
Sensible chiefs are talking and not n.i-n-c_i-m.p_o-o-p.s like Dormaa,Sunyani and Yeji chiefs
Nana Addo don't be deceive oooooo. Just wait and see how we "Togolese" will vote for you after insulting us.
Do the chiefs have the power let all their subjects vote for Nana?
