The Founder of the Separatist group called Homeland study group foundation Charles Kormi Kudjordji has accused the Volta Regional Minister Dr Archibald Letsa of a perceived attempt to kill him.
He claimed the regional minister during his vetting by the Appointments Committee of Parliament suggested that he should be charged with treason for calling for a secession of the Volta region to Western Togoland State.
Speaking on Ultimate Breakfast Show hosted by Lantam Papanko, Mr Kudjordji alleged that the Volta Regional Police Command which arrested him and two members of the group are acting upon the minister’s pronouncement.
He further accused the regional minister of being the cause of the emerging confusion in the region saying the latter cannot be a profitable minister.
A livid Separatist leader dared the minister to organise his men to kill.
‘We don’t invite politicians to our meetings. Ghanaians must not suspect that its the National Democratic Congress (NDC) which is pushing us, no, no politician has been giving us money, we don’t have a pesewa. That man (Archibald) is not a matured politician at all. If he were to be matured, he wouldn’t have been losing elections persistently.
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) made a mistake by appointing him the regional minister. He wore wellington boots by bringing this confusion now, he will not be a profitable minister. If he could organise people to kill me in my house, he could do so, if he doesn’t wish me death, would he say they should charge me for treason and be killed, he told them that, in Ewe land if you tell somebody that I will show you, its an offence and its not good, that is what it means, he said kill him, that is what he said during the vetting, and that is what the police are doing, the police are acting on his advice,’ he pointed out.
The 78- year old man who is facing treason and possible death if charged refuted claims that they want to breakaway from Ghana.
He questioned why the President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has refused to rename Volta region to Western Togoland State.
‘In the interest of peace, am a Ghanaian, I do everything Ghanaian, my pension is paid by Ghana, but we want the truth to be known,’ he said.
Asked if he is prepared to die for this cause, he retorted, ‘If I die my name will remain in history books, but that is not what am looking for, am looking for the truth to be established, what is difficult about this on the part of Ghana, Nana Addo can easily do it, people are trying to confuse him including the regional minister? he asked’

If you look at the history of Ghana Ashantis are from Burkinafaso and GAs are from Nigeria. So if all of them want to break away from Ghana what will be left. We want this group calling themselves seperatist to be wise and stop this no sense they are doing. If I were government I will grant them thier request so that all Voltarians leave the country. Volta region has no resources they are even a drain on national economy. When they leave it is the NDC who will suffer. Their world bank will be gone. So the NPP should allow this people to break away
we want our independent,volta arise ............
I WISH THEY WERE GONE ALREADY. NOBODY SEE VOLTARIANS AS NON GHANAIANS. IF THIS IS NOT STOP BY THE VOTARIANS THEMSELVES THE REST OF GHANA WILL BEGIN TO SEE THEM AS ALIENS.
WHY WOULD THEY WANT YOU DEAD ARE THEY YOUR GOD. PLEASE STOP BLAMING VOLTARIANS FOR EVERYTHING OK. JUST CHANGE FROM YOUR OWN WAYS AND THE GOOD LORD WOULD PROTECT YOU. BECAUSE THEY ARE ALSO MORTALS AS YOU.
why you didn't do it 'separatist' when the then NDC was on power, and waited until now.
