General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah popularly known as General Mosquito has pledged the party will create polling stations for Ewes in the Bono region so they won’t have to bus themselves from wherever they are to Banda to register.
According to him, when the NDC wins power on December 7, they will ensure registration and polling centres are brought closer to wherever Ewes are settled in order to avoid the issue of someone describing them as non-Ghanaians.
He made this statement after clashing with some military personnel who had blocked the roads while he led some Ewes in Banda to register for the new voters card.
“Soldiers were trained to shoot at bad people and not to use their guns to create fear and panic among citizens. So, we will plead with you people. No one can take your Ghanaian citizenship from you. We are promising you that with your numbers, the new NDC government will look at your settlement towns and where there are schools, we will build them well because this is where you live you don’t have anywhere to go. We will look at places where your numbers are over 800 so we bring polling stations there so that you can vote there,” Asiedu Nketiah said.
He added, “this is because when you go to Afram Plains, on the lake there is an island but there’s a polling station there and they write their names there, when you go to yeji, there are polling stations there so pray for us so that when we come to power we will bring the polling stations to your doorstep so that you don’t have to bus yourselves to another town for someone to come and tell you us you are not Ghanaians.”
“When they intimidate you, take photos of the security personnel who does the intimidation so that we can see their faces. Most of the people of vigilantes so take photos of them so that we can see their faces so that we will know who recruited them into the Military,” he stated.
