According to John Mahama, Ghana is a country where freedom of movement is valued hence people should treat the Hohoe incident as an isolated case. The Vice President also took the opportunity to respond to critics who have questioned the whereabouts of the President and his Vice in the wake of the clashes, saying that there is government machinery at local levels which must be respected. He noted that with conclusion of Eastern Corridor roads, Hohoe will attract more settlers hence there is the need for the indigenes to develop a big heart to welcome people from all walks of life. John Mahama has directed the National Disaster Management Organization to assist people who have been affected by the unfortunate incident. Meanwhile, the Volta regional Minister, Henry Ford Kamel has appealed to residents who fled the clashes to return home as the situation is under control.
