The Ashanti Regional Youth Organizer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Lawyer Justin Kodua has rubbished last Tuesday’s bomb scare claims by the Ashanti Regional Minister, John Alexander Ackon, insisting the pains the NDC government had inflicted on Ghanaians was worse than a bomb blast.
According to the youth leader, ‘the infamous bomb scare was nothing but a clandestine ploy by the ruling party to cause an atmosphere of fear and panic in the Kumasi Metropolis ahead of the upcoming general elections’.
In a phone interview with the Ghanaian Observer Newspaper in Kumasi, Lawyer Kodua narrated how the NDC during two recent campaign launches in Ejura and Kumasi had alleged the NPP was rather planning to make the Ashanti Region ungovernable.
He, therefore, charged the security agencies including the Police to conduct a painstaking investigation into the recent bomb scare so as to get to the bottom of the matter.
CHANGE:
Sounding defiant, the Youth Organizer called on the public to disregard the attempts by the Regional Minister and his Deputy to create an atmosphere of insecurity ahead of the general elections.
” It is time for somebody to tell the NDC that no single individual or group can stop the wind of change that is blowing in the country”, Lawyer Kodua intimated passionately.
He, therefore, urged residents of the metropolis to attend to their legitimate businesses without fear or trepidation since the Security agencies owes it as duty to ensure peace ahead of the polls.
”The NPP is resolute and determined to conduct a clean campaign ahead of the December 7 polls and nothing would derail us from policing the upcoming ballot”, the youth organizer noted.
CAUTION:
The NPP youth organizer, has meanwhile cautioned the NDC to desist from any acts calculated at causing an atmosphere of insecurity in the Region.
”There is the need for us as political party leaders in the region to conduct our activities with civility and decorum since that is what the people in Kumasi desire from us”, Lawyer Kodua.
Lawyer Kodua affirmed the preparedness of the NPP to conduct itself within the confines of the law as it prosecutes a focused strategy for change.
”We are reminding the NDC that we as a party will not be cowed into submission but can be sure our campaign would done within the confines of the rule of law since we are confident of forming the next government in the country”, the Youth Organizer posited.
