Nana Wiafe Ababio , the paramount Chief of Hemang has lamented on how members of the National Democratic Congress(NDC) are treated as mad people in his community because of the party they belong.
Nana Wiafe Ababio revealed that there is this assumption that once you are from the Ashanti Kingdom, then you should automatically belong to the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
The chief bemoaned on how such thoughts have been some of the the reasons for the retrogressive growth of the country.
He said that it was wrong for one to automatically belong to a certain party because his parents do belong to that particular party especially when the person is educated and can make his own decisions and choices..
“When we talk about this town, then we are talking about the NPP. If you own up as a member of the NDC then you are mad. Since I became Chief of this Community, I’ve taken notice of a number of issues. In this town people who are principled and will not let you trample on them are described as NDC members. When they draw my attention to this fact, I just laugh it off.
For whether NDC or NPP, I don’t really care. What I want the people of Heman to understand is that stop the NDC, NPP Politics. I’ve been Chief for five years now, when you are an Ashanti you’re known as an NPP member, when you’re from the North you are known to be a member of the NDC, this is what is destroying Ghana. You don’t know how come your parents support the NDC or the NPP. You’ve been to school so can’t you decide for yourself based on happenings in the country rather than blindly following your parents?
I’ve been Chief in this community for five years and no NPP member has visited here before. Stop engaging in the NPP, NDC politics,” This was what Nana Wiafe had to say to his community members when some executives of the NDC visited the community.
