The Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has described the government’s proposal to rename Kotoka International Airport as an indictment on the National Democratic Congress (NDC), particularly leaders from the Volta Region.
Mr Afenyo-Markin argued that the airport’s current name represents one of the few national recognitions linked to the Volta Region and warned that changing it would deprive the region of a significant symbol of national honour.
“How many prominent Voltarians have their names on national assets or monuments? This is the only thing the people of Volta can also see as something that recognises heroism from the Volta Region, and they’re being denied,” he stated.
He noted that successive governments had retained the name Kotoka International Airport and criticised what he described as silence from current NDC leaders from the Volta Region on the issue.
The Minority Leader specifically called on Majority Chief Whip Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, NDC General Secretary Fifi Kwetey, Foreign Affairs Minister Okudzeto Ablakwa, and First Deputy Speaker Bernard Ahiafor to publicly oppose the proposed change.
“They’re from Volta, they’re in government and are watching Volta lose its pride. It’s up to them,” Mr Afenyo-Markin said.
The government is expected to formally introduce the bill in Parliament when the House resumes.
