The Vice President of the Togolese Diaspora in Ghana (DIASTOGH) and Lecturer at Valley View University, Mr. Amouzou Edah Assou, has cautioned Togo nationals living in Ghana to refrain from interfering in the country’s electoral process.
Speaking at the Togolese Diaspora in Ghana’s get-together event at the National Theatre in Accra, he emphasized the importance of maintaining peace and neutrality during the December polls.
Mr. Assou stressed that Ghana is a peaceful country in West Africa, and Togo nationals should promote peace and unity during the election period, rather than creating divisions.
He also revealed that the association is working to prevent Togolese nationals from voting in the December polls if their names are on the Ghanaian voter register.
The event aimed to foster togetherness among Togolese diaspora members in Ghana and representatives from other foreign communities, promoting networking, idea-sharing, and collaborations for mutual growth and development.
Mr. Amey Eklou, Secretary for the Togolese Diaspora in Ghana, expressed the community’s dissatisfaction with the Togo government’s decision to introduce a parliamentary system, where the president will be elected by lawmakers for a single six-year term without public input. He also highlighted the challenges faced by Togolese youth, who are forced to travel abroad in search of jobs due to a lack of employment opportunities in Togo. He appealed to the government to create more jobs for youth and reduce taxes for businesses to promote growth.
