Former Transport Minister Dzifa Attivor has urged Voltarians to spread the message to their relatives living in neighbouring Togo to come to Ghana and register, when the EC limited registration takes off.

She said there is nothing wrong for the people of Volta region, especially residents of Aflao to encourage their relatives living in Togo to come and register during the exercise.

The former Minister said this, when she mounted the campaign platform during the launch of a group called ‘Ketu South For Fifi  And Mahama’  at Wodoaba in the Ketu South district of the Volta region.

The Electoral Commission’s proposed Limited Voter Registration comes off the last week of April. The exercise which was planned to be executed in March, 2016, had to be postponed by the EC because of the absence of a legal backing document.

The Limited Voter Registration exercise is to enable new voters who have attained the age of 18 and above as well as those who qualify but were unable to register to do so.

Dzifa contends that if the party wins in the next election, it will save her from being jailed, citing the NPP as a tribal party bent on witch hunting Ewes, should it win the general elections in November.

Referring to the record of the NPP government between 2001 to 2008, Dzifa Attivor argued the NPP targeted only members of her ethnic group for prosecution.

“When the NPP came to power in 2001, a lot of our people were sent to prison; Victor Selormey, Dan Abordakpui, and so on, was imprisoned. Was it because no other persons committed crime in Ghana? But it was only Ewes that they jailed.

“I want to entreat you not do anything for me and Fifi Kwetey go to prison. It lies with you all to ensure that no Ewe person goes to prison. So I am pleading with you to work hard and deliver the 120 thousand vote target for the party in the constituency,”
