It has emerged that some members of Nana Akufo Addo’s patrilineal family live in Bator, Volta Region having lived there as descendants of the original migrants from Akropong, Akwapim in the Eastern Region.
Elders of the Obuobisa family, part of the Bator landscape yesterday called on the flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to introduce themselves to him, a historical moment which the visitors and their host cherished greatly.
Although he had a tight schedule preparing to travel to Akropong for a funeral, Nana Akufo-Addo found time for his missing family members who were so excited to meet him.
Although bearing Akan names, their language of communications among themselves is Ewe. During an NPP meeting some four or so years ago in Akwapim, one of the participants mentioned his name as Obuobisa the family name immediately prompting a question from somebody. After putting the pieces together, the jigsaw puzzle was created and Nana Akufo Addo’s family name popped up culminating in yesterday’s visit.
The Krontihene of Bator Togbe Doto II, a member of the family was part of the delegation and who in his interaction with the media said they were on their way to Akwapim to visit the family house from where their ancestors migrated to their Bator home.
Nana Akufo Addo, beaming with smiles as he hosted his guests posed questions of historical relevance and in the end told his guests “this is your home feel free to come here. You are always welcome.”
He assured his relatives that during his next visit to the Volta Region as part of the second leg in his campaign tour of the place, he would call on the family in Bator.

Where from this tribe talks. This story should rather tell us that we are one people because we don't know where our people migrated from. The people migrated from akuapeng to their present place in Volta region not other way round. So where line the togolese link. We must unity and build Ghana.

Politics for Ghana is very interesting indeed. I remember during Kufour's campaign timealso in desperation visited the zongo community and told them he too is a Zongo boy, so they should vote for him. I believe not too long to come, President Mahama will also come and tell us that his offsprings came from Ashante.
Wishing he was an ewe for what? Is it for tupke or for magic, the man is proud of his tribe and when did he discriminate and trivialized them....Ask ur elders well before making judments cos there is nothing good from ewes aside from killing and worshiping idonls so spare us with ur visionless lectures..... The family are rather running for Nana to know they are his family.
Are they also Togolese or Ghanaian's Time will tell
Hahahaha....the man now wishes he is ewe. The very people he Akufu Addo has discriminated, vilifies and trivialised over the years. You are only day dreaming of this your devised linkage. It is too late for you now, next time you reincarnate don't mess up with any tribe. This is an advise
YOU MUST ALL VOTE FOR NPP. LET US SACK AND DRIVE THE NDC AWAY.
