Students caution the war mongers amongst
us
Sunyani (B/A), Jan. 15, Ghanadot/GNA- The Sunyani
Polytechnic branch of the Tertiary Education Students’
Confederacy of the New Patriotic Party, has called on
political parties, particularly the National Democratic
Congress(NDC) to refrain from using words that had the
tendency of threatening the security of the State.
The group appealed to Ghanaians, especially the youth to be
patriotic enough to guard and protect the country’s
fledgling democracy.
The call was contained in a press statement signed by
Emmanuel Tweneboah Koduah, President of the group.
It said; “The recent press conference by the flag bearer of
the NDC to put in the minds of Ghanaians that the ruling New
Patriotic Party (NPP) has put in place mechanisms to rig the
December 2008 Election should be condemned by all
well-meaning Ghanaians, because Ghana is supreme and bigger
than all political organizations.”
It said; “The Ghanaian youth is wide awake and will resist
any move that would destabilize the security of the state”,
adding, “the days when the youth were used to the advantage
by political parties and some selfish individuals are over.”
The statement said the youth and for that matter students
must rise up and educate Ghanaians about the need to protect
our democracy and the country.
It said; “Students should beware of politicians who invade
our campuses to sell their wild and negative propaganda in
an effort to pursue their own political agenda for their
selfish interests.”
The statement urged all
Ghanaians and political parties to denounce violence as a
means of solving economic, social or political problems.
It said; “We must cultivate the culture of dialogue and
non-violent approach throughout our campaigns and beyond
since peace is prerequisite for unity and development of the
country”.
