Chairman of the National Peace Council (NPC), Most Reverend Dr. Emmanuel Asante has called for cool heads amidst the violence associated with the voters registration exercise in some areas.
Speaking on Joy News, he noted that politicians are expected to provide leadership in times like these as the masses look up to them.
“An eye for an eye will leave everybody blind, and so let us, as Ghanaians, love Mother Ghana, and deescalate the tensions by saying and doing things that will not inflame passions. Let’s learn to keep tempers cool,” he noted.
Rev Asante added, “…politicians who are bussing people to places for them to register should stop. It is against the law, and it won’t help anybody.”
He stressed on the Vigilante Act, Act 999, which made acts of violence by political thugs punishable.
