National Youth Organizer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), George Opare Addo, has said that the party is more focused on delivering the message of Ghanaians’ concerns to President Akufo-Addo than the number of people who join the march.
According to him, the President needs to understand that some Ghanaians are not happy with his administration and as such, they [the NDC] will rather focus on the message than on the turnout.
He made this known during an interview with Happy FM’s Don Prah on the ‘Epa Hoa Daben’ show when he said: “It is not about the numbers. It is about sending the message to the president that Ghanaians want development. So even if it’s only two people who will be present, our focus will be on delivering the message to the President that some sections of Ghanaians are not happy”.
He added that unlike other demonstrations that have happened in the country, the ‘March for Justice’ demo will be “carefully carried out”.
Meanwhile, Public Health Physician and member of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) COVID-19 task-force, Dr. Jehu Appiah, has assured that the party’s planned ‘March for Justice’ on Tuesday, July 6, 2021, intended to get justice for the Ejura victims will be under the strictest adherence to COVID-19 safety protocols.
The youth wing of the NDC wrote to the Inspector-General of Police, James Oppong-Boanuh, to notify him that it will hold street protests on 6th July 2021, to get justice for the Ejura victims.
According to the National youth organizer of the NDC, George Opare Addo, “this protest is to demand justice for all persons killed and brutalized by state-sponsored thuggery and/or adventurism by police and military forces.
“It also seeks social justice for the unemployed youth in the country.”
The march which will start from the Tetteh Quarshie circle and end with the presentation of a petition to the presidency will be in the strictest adherence to the COVID-19 safety protocols.
