Why Is Government Not Preventing Foreigners In Kumasi From Registering To Vote? – A Plus Asks

Popular Ghanaian musician and political activist, Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A Plus has come out to ask a very important question pertaining to the ongoing voters’ registration exercise.

According to him, it is a well-known fact by everyone that there many foreigners in Kumasi and Kyebi but no military personnel was deployed there to prevent them from registering but only Volta Region.

He said this in response to the latest claim by the Minister of Inner-City and Zongo Development, Mr Mustapha Abdul-Hamid that the military are in Volta Region to prevent Togolese from crossing the border to register to vote.

But it’s well-known fact and rightly said by the minister himself that there are many Burkinabes in Kumasi, many Fulanis in Agogo and the likes but there are no military presence there.

This means that those people are registering to vote. He believes that the latest development by this government is nothing but state-sponsored discrimination against Ewes.

”The minister makes a lot of sense here. The election is a Ghanaian election and not a West African one. But my question is, why didn’t the government send the military to Kyebi and Kumasi to ensure that foreigners don’t register to vote in our election? Are all the Fulani herdsmen in Agogo Ghanaians? Why didn’t the government send the military there to ensure that those who are not Ghanaians don’t register? Are there no Burkina Moshie people in Kumasi, Tamale and Nima? Are there not many Nigeriens and Chadians in our Zongo communities? So why is the military in only the Volta region and moving from center to center to decide who is a Ghanaian and who is not?

The answer is very simple – the real owners of Ghana sent the military to prevent Ewes from registering to vote because they think Ewes are not Ghanaians. Kindly allow them to leave with Papavi!!! This is nothing but state-sponsored discrimination against Ewes!!”
