I am deeply disappointed by the recent “Experience Volta in Accra” festival held at El-Wak Sports Stadium in Accra on December 13, 2025. Despite the presence of top Volta musicians, respectable Chiefs, and traditional leaders, the event recorded very low attendance.
I strongly believe that hosting this event in Accra was a misappropriation of funds, a lack of event ideas, and a total disrespect towards Voltarians.
The purpose of “Experience Volta” should be to attract people from across Ghana and the world to the Volta Region, promoting our hospitality, arts, and culture.
Instead, you took the event away from the people, denying them the chance to experience the beauty of Volta.
I thank the Accra Chiefs and the entire GAs for not showing up for the “Experience Volta in Accra Festival”. This is a clear indication that our events should be held in the Volta Region, showcasing our rich cultural heritage, breathtaking tourist attractions, and talented artists.
I demand that His Excellency Tanko, Council of State member from the Volta Region, apologise to the Chiefs and good people of the Volta Region for the mishap.
Furthermore, I propose that the second episode of “Experience Volta” be held in the Volta Region, specifically in Aflao, Ho, Akatsi, Keta, Kpando, or Hohoe.
Let’s bring the event home and showcase our region’s treasures.
The event should be renamed “Experience Volta Festival” and held in the Volta Region to promote our cultural heritage and boost tourism.
I urge all stakeholders to support this initiative and make “Experience Volta Festival” a signature event that puts the Volta Region on the map.
Let’s work together to promote the Volta Region and showcase its beauty to the world.
