NDC and NPP
youths urged to live in peace
Ayerede (B/A), Jan. 9, Ghanadot/GNA – Madam
Rose Appau, Assembly Member for Ayerede in Nkoranza South
District of Brong Ahafo, has urged the youth of the National
Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP)
to bury their differences and forge ahead in unity towards
the development of the country.
She was addressing a large crowd of youth from Asuano,
Nyamebekyere, Nkyinkamamu, Dimango, Grumakrom and Kramokrom
at an entertainment show organised by the NDC to celebrate
the party’s assumption to power.
The Assembly member advised the people to regard each other
as “his brother’s keeper” and not to allow partisan politics
to divide them, as that could adversely affect their
developmental efforts.
Madam Appau commended the people for the decent and peaceful
manner in which they conducted themselves during the last
elections and urged them to maintain that spirit for the
accelerated development of the area.
“The majority and minority in Parliament will collaborate
and support our new President (Atta Mills) to move the
nation forward and the youth in the various parties must do
same,” she stressed.
The Assembly Member advised the youth to be law-abiding and
to respect persons in authority, so that they would receive
God’s blessings to become responsible and resourceful
adults.
Madam Appau called on the people to actively participate in
communal labour activities and to help initiate development
programmes in order to attract support from the government
and NGOs.
Mr Adonteng Gyimadu, NDC Zonal Chairman, advised the youth
of the NPP and the NDC to forgive any offence committed
during the campaigning period and live peacefully as one
people in the area.
“The immediate past President Mr John Agyekum Kufuor and his
predecessor, Flt Lt Jerry John Rawlings, as well as the
current President John Evans Atta Mills were all at the
inauguration ceremony at the Independence Square and this is
the spirit that all other Ghanaians must exhibit,” he
emphasized.
