This is in reaction to agitations by the Ga-Dangme Youth and the Osu Traditional Council for ex-president Kufuor to vacate an office complex he is said to have acquired and demands for the return of Ga lands.

Members of the group are alarmed that a Ga-Dangme group will threaten to “banish” the ex-president on the basis that the land on which the state bungalow he intends to use as his official office belongs to them.

According to the group, resources from the Western Region have been used for the development of the entire country, leaving the region in a state of poverty and underdevelopment adding that it will resist the continued use of resources from the region for the development of the country.


The spokesperson for the group, Mr. Biney, who is also the former District Chief Executive for Ahanta West said that lands belonging to people in Ahanta have been sold to private individuals, but indigenes have not agitated for a return of those lands.

According to Mr Biney, “If others continue doing what they are doing, we will also be compelled to let others know that Western Region is for Westerners,” he threatened.

He stressed that their misgivings are only to signal that no single region is important or above the other.

"Once we have agreed to live in a country called Ghana and see ourselves as Ghanaians whatever is on or inside the land belongs to all of us. If it gets to a point where others are making vehement claims to the point of even banishing others from their lands then you are telling us that we can also go back and take another look at our situation,” he argued.
