In what can be described as attempts to calm down some party footsoldiers who have protested his re-nomination as Volta Regional Minister ,Dr. Archibald Yao Letsa in Facebook post on Monday, February 1, 2021 has called for calm and has promised to be more opened to the people of the Volta Region when approved by parliament.
The former regional minister is currently included in the list of nominees presented to parliament by President Akufo-Addo to be vetted and approved.
But before the name could be made public, a group associated with the New Patriotic Party in the Volta Region called on the President not to consider him for another term.
The group later went ahead to demonstrate over his nomination.
The post as monitored by Ex TV suggests that the celebrated entrepreneur and politician is doing everything possible to calm members of his party before heading to the appointment Committee.
Here is the full post.
With a heart of unqualified gratitude, I wish to thank H.E. The President of The Republic of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, for once again reposing confidence in me by the renomination as the Volta Regional Minister.
I am humbled by the renomination and more importantly, by the display of confidence in me.
I wish therefore to state unequivocally that when approved by Parliament, I shall continue to pursue and serve the agenda of H.E. the President and government in the Volta Region at all times to the best of my knowledge and ability.
Furthermore, I shall continue to operate an “open-door policy” in the running of my office, where I shall be readily available to all the people of the Region.
In this regard, I shall continue to build bridges and not walls while pursuing the development of the Region.
It is not lost on me that we need to work together as people of this Region in ensuring its development as envisaged by the President and all of us.
I therefore wish to assure all, especially the good people of the Region and others who would wish to invest in the Region, of my preparedness and availability to work with them towards achieving this one goal of having a more developed Region, able to provide more jobs to her people in an environment of enhanced socio-economic infrastructure.
