Mills’ meeting with Volta chiefs has nothing to do with politics – Minister

Chiefs from the Volta Region will on Thursday meet with president Mills at the Castle.

The delegation to be led by president of the region’s house of chiefs, Agbogbomefia, Togbui Afede and the new Awomefia of Anlo, Togbui Sri III will discuss developments in the region.

Joy News sources say the chiefs also intend to use the opportunity to try and mend the growing rift between President Mills and the Rawlingses ahead of the NDC’s July congress to elect a flagbearer.

But Volta Regional Minister Joseph Amenowode denies the closed-door meeting has anything to do with politics.

He said the chiefs simply want to thank the president for the enormous development projects the government had given the region.

Mr Amenowode said the chiefs were particularly impressed with the new president being built in the region and want to show their appreciation.
