Since the Homeland Study Group Foundation, (HSGF) declared their independence on Saturday, there has been a lot of talk on social media.
While some people are critically analyzing the issue, others are looking at it on a lighter note.
Already some social media users have posted photos of a national team for the separatists, currency, among others.
The group has been campaigning for the secession of some parts of Ghana into an independent ’Western Togoland State.’
On Saturday, November 16, 2019, the leader of the Separatist movement, Mr Charles Komi Kudzordzi alias Papavi Hogbedetor who is in his 80s made the declaration at a public gathering in Ho.
Addressing a cheerful group of members of the separatist movement in the native Ewe language, Papavi Hogbedetor recounted their struggles to restore the independence of the pre-independence Western Togoland territory, a German protectorate which was joined to the then Gold Coast to form the new independent country, Ghana on March 6, 1957 under circumstances he believes were ”illegal”.
Citing the recent omission of roads in the Volta Region from the Critical Roads list in the 2020 budget, Papa Hogbedetor said” We’ve all witnessed what happened recently when we (Volta Region) were forgotten by the government in its budget. Can a parent forget about their children? We’re not their children, so they have forgotten about us.”
