Zongo Communities Urged to Shun NDC Propaganda
Konongo (Ash), July 2, Ghanadot/GNA- Mr George Frimpong,
Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Asante Akim-North, has
urged Zongo communities to reject smear political
campaigns,, being pursued by the National Democratic
Congress (NDC) to discredit the New Patriotic Party (NPP)
government.
He said the NDC’s efforts at sowing a seed of antagonism
between the Zongo communities and the NPP government over
the years had been fruitless, as government continued to
develop Zongo communities.
Mr Frimpong, who was speaking at the inaugural ceremony of
the Asante Akim-North Nasara Club at Konongo during the
weekend, entreated Zongo communities to vehemently resist
NDC’s peddling of falsehood.
He noted that such practices were subtle ways of
brainwashing the people in order to win votes and urged them
to shun such propaganda, aimed at returning the NDC to
power.
The MCE observed that the NPP government was not
discriminatory and would continue to equitably spread
development projects across the country, stressing that,
Zongo communities would not be left out.
He implored the leadership of the club, to embark on
campaigns devoid of insults and violence, saying, the NPP
believed in the rule of law.
Nana Adu Asabre, NPP Constituency Chairman, urged the
leadership of the club not to lord over its members but
provide efficient leadership required to win votes for the
party.
He said the task ahead was enormous and required hard work,
dedication and commitment to clinch a third successive
victory, adding that the club’s role would be crucial.
Mr Francis Bright Appiadu, Constituency Organizer called for
unity in the party, after a scathing primary resulted in
division among members of the party.
He said it was about time the various factions in the party
united for a common purpose and urged the members not to
tolerate a breakaway independent candidate, Mr Alexander
Osei-Tutu, whom he said was not a true member of the party.
