YENPENI DEMO: NO ONE IS GREATER THAN OTUMFOUR IN ASHANTI REGION- ASIEDU NKETIAH REVEALS

-

The General Secretary of the opposition party, National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr. Johnson Asiedu Nketiah popularly known as General Mosquito has revealed that, no man in Ashanti region greater than Otumfour Osei Tutu II who has the right to do anything in the region.

According to him, some members of a political party threatened to beat them if they embarked on a demonstration in Ashanti region.
He added that, these members of the political party could not harm them because they don’t have any authority over them except Otumfour Osei Tutu II.
 “This land belongs to Otumfour Osei Tutu II and no one can stop us from embarking on our demonstration”, he said.
The main opposition NDC and other parties against the compilation of new voters' register by the Electoral Commission ahead of the December general elections are demonstrating in Kumasi today.

The first protest to challenge plans of the new register was held at Tamale in the Northern Region.

The group insists a new register is a waste of taxpayers money and could also create tension since the election is close.

The electoral commission, however, insists they will go ahead and create the register despite the disagreement by the parties and civil society organizations.

Last week, a coalition of major Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and key individuals under the Ghana Anti-Corruption Coalition (GACC) in a statement collectively rejected the decision of the Electoral Commission (EC) to compile a new voters’ register ahead of this year’s general elections.

Mr. Johnson Asiedu Nketiah further advised the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Madam Jane Mensah to listen to the people before it’s too late.

To the Editor, Why I didn’t show up for the morning news production on Monday On that fateful day (Monday, April 4 th 2022) I was preparing to come and produce the morning news despite the heavy rainfall and lack of electricity in my area. I was ready to come around 4:30am when my father ordered me to wait due to crime rate in my area and especially such an ungodly hour. From where l stay, I have to board a taxi to the main road before getting a car to work but unfortunately, there was no car at the time I arrived there around 5:10am because of the rain and lack of electricity. I had no other option than to wait because I might be attacked if I decided to walk to the main road that’s why I couldn’t get here on time to produce to morning news. Thank you                                     ...
