Clueless serial Loser Akufo-Addo has a split personality. One side of him is clueless and the other side is delusional. No wonder the NPP flagbearer is a failed politician.
If you read your History of Ghana well, you would note why.
Volta region wasn't part of Ghana the regions were created, that's why, so the eastern region is in the right position
If Volta Region was not part of the Gold Coast,(British TransVolta) then explain this:
1) Sgt Adjetey and Cpl Attipoe went to protest to the British Gov at the Castle, and they were shot to death. Where the hell did Cpl ...

Nana Addo has indeed proven that he lacks ideas. Why not an Asante-Akyem region or Eastern-Akyem region so that the Akyems can be seperated from the New Juaben people. This guy is even more divisive than Donald Trump.

What was the achievement when Atta mills sanctioned the creation of additional constituencies? Did it put food on the table?
The constitution enjoins the creation of new constituencies periodically so that they do not become too large,
This has nothing to do with carving up new regions. There is no constitutional provision for that.
Where were you when ex president kuffuor created some districts,what did we gain
PUT ASSIN, ADANSI AND DENKYIRA STATES INTO A NEW REGION. WE ARE TIRED OF ASHANTI'S AND FANTI'S LOOKING DOWN ON US IN THEIR REGIONS. IT IS AS IF CENTRAL REGION IS FOR FANTI'S ALONE. VERY ANNOYING! AND ASHANTI'S ALSO DISCRIMINA ...

Ashanti region is bigger than western so this zachious must create different region within ashanti before going anywhere
Western-north paaa ?
Eeii Mahatma promise and promise but failure is more than doing
Of cos it will. New region means new regional offices, new regional minister and whole lot. It will create employment for many ai.. Think beyond politics.
Officer new regional means new regional offices in that area. New offices will employ ppl ai. New regional minister n his office.. Think beyond politics ai. It will decrease unemployment level in ghana
THIS OLD MAN IS AN IDIOT. PEOPLE SHOULD LEARN TO LIVE WITH EZCH OTHER - TOLERANCE
Why not Asante Akyem region which is more practical overdue fool or Akyem kotoku region and Asante south aboa. This nana ado is mad
If Nana were to be your father would you have told him is idiot. Shameless creature .

THANKS NANA FOR THIS AGENDA WHETHER YOU WIN OR LOSE WE WILL FOREVER BE GRATEFUL TO YOU FOR THIS GREAT IDEA AND WE KNOW NOW THAT IS ON THE AGENDA IT WILL SURELY COME TO PASS
The north does not need a new region. if northern region is too big parts should be carved to join the two upper regions.
NO ONE COMPLAINED WHEN UPPER EAST AND UPPER WEST WAS CREATED AND WHEN JOHN MAHAMA CREATED 22 NEW DISTRICTS IN 2012.
We do not need 10 régions or more!!!
Geographically, we need only 4 régions as, it was at the Colonial epoch. The régions are. North, Central, South, East and Volta. Ashanti and Brong Ahafo region will become Central Regi ...

Tweaaaaaaaaa. We Ashantis love our Region .
Where is it written we should have 5 regions.
HE WILL BE CREATING ASHANTI REGION NORTH,EASTERN REGION NORTH AND BRONG AHAFO REGION NORTH.
NANA IS DESPERATE FOR POWER TO SAY ANYTHING.
WESTERN REGION IS SMALL TO BE DIVIDED.
Prince, don't make me laugh. The idea though is about decentralization but we should concentrate more on the districts concept
Trump is so desperate like Nana Addo and if he wins he will create New York North,Texas North,Alaska North and California west.
Watch It for NDC-Mahama would soon STEAL THIS IDEA or Follow Suit.

Rubbish absolute rubbish
what is wrong with our politicians? All the know what to do is creating regions, districts and constituencies. Someone should tell them development does not come just by creating these entities.
This guy has to show how all the promises are going to be fulfilled. The next promise he will feed all our dogs for free.
It's a good idea! If the EC can create new polling districts towards elections, then Nana Akufo-Addo's vision to create a new region endowed with natural resources and fertility land is good.
.....fertile land not fertility. Sorry for the typos. Thanks folks.....
Npp should stop campaigning now and start implementing plans that will prevent NDC and Charlotte from rigging the election. Its clear that that no well meaning Ghanaian will wast his/ her time to vote NDC again.
Ghanaians will reject Nana Addo and the NPP because he obviously has no plans for Ghana. J.M shall remain President.
The oil and gas sector currently provides direct employment for 7,545 Ghanaians, thanks to J.M
Nonsense what 7545 Ghanaians. U think we are fools everyday JM has employed thousands of Ghanaians but we don't see it.. The good number of unemployed ppl are still in their homes. N u here lying.

I do not see how creation of more regions will bring about development. It is only a way of getting jobs for party faithfuls beyond that nothing else. How many regions are there in Germany? Regions do not bring development.

Is this what Nana thinks is important for us as a country???? This oldman has lost the plot!!

Nana Addo should be very careful of his utterances. Divide and rule is an old trick which cannot work in Ghana again. Ghanaians are too smart for that, we need each other.
U dey talk as if there is an enmity between the regions of Ghana

U wait ,this man will start promising to bring the killers of Jesus Christ to book if elected as president
Walker, you are very funny. I wont be surprised if he makes such a promise though.
Northern region must be divided into two,Volta region must be divided to create Oti region.and Ghana will need a new national capital.
Divide Ashanti, Eastern and Brong into 4 each. You want twi speaking people to stay strong and united while others are divided and weakened?
Nana Addo is not smart.
Truly,truly Nana is at lost for ideas Eii! are we save if such a man becomes President per chance which obviously wouldn't be the case Allah forbid.
