PPP parliamentary candidate asks NDC/NPP supporters to stop fighting

Winneba (C/R), Nov. 23, GNA – Nana Ofori-Owusu, Progressive People’s Party (PPP) Parliamentary Candidates for Effutu, has called on members and supporters of National Democratic Congress (NDC) and New Patriotic Party (NPP) to halt the animosity among them.   He noted that winning political power is not war hence the need for the two parties to smoke the peace pipe for the best interest of Effutu State.   “Effutuman is the only town that we have and we must not allow politics to divide us. Let us unite as one people, forge ahead to contribute our quota towards the proper growth and development of the area,” he stressed.   Nana Ofori-Owusu made the call when he addressed the chiefs and people of Winneba Zongo.   He said the engagement of the two parties in clashes would not determine their electoral victory.   He said the PPP as a party has come to ensure that Ghanaians irrespective of colour, ethnicity or political affiliations enjoy the peace of the country.   Nana Ofori-Owusu said the party would not be part of any violence in other to win power.   He said it is about time people change their voting pattern and vote the PPP to free them from the hardship the NDC and NPP have brought on them.   He appealed to the people to go out in their numbers on December 7 and vote for Dr Papa Kwesi Ndoum as president and he as Member of Parliament for the area.   Alhaji Subeamana Salagah, Chief of the community also appealed to NDC and NPP supporters in the area to stop fighting and embrace peace for the sake of the development.   He called on the law enforcement agencies to bring to book people who would involve in any act that could disturb the peace to serve as deterrent to others.   “Ghana needs peace, Winneba needs peace and we should let the interest of the country be our top most priority.   “We can forge ahead and there is the need as people to use amicable means to resolve our differences to achieve total peace during and after the elections,” he said.   The chief urged the people to advise their children to stay away from anything that could contribute to violence and not allow themselves to be used by politicians to create confusion to enable them achieve their political ambitions.
