The National Youth Organiser of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Sammy Awuku is predicting a revolution in the country following calls for a new voters\u2019 register for the nation.<\/p>\n
The Electoral Commission, as part of measures to consider the\u00a0various arguments for or against a new voters’ register, held a two-day forum to receive presentations on the matter.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”BYFBlH3arwqrFMICDd1S7o1IX6hoL2QL”]Unhappy with\u00a0comments made by the Chairperson of the EC, Charlotte Osei at the forum, Sammy Awuku on his Facebook page wrote:<\/p>\n
\u201cBy her posture and utterances, the EC boss is setting the stage to deny the youth and the people of Ghana a new and credible voters register for the 2016 elections.\u201d<\/p>\n
He further opined that the cost of compiling a new voters\u2019 register is cheaper than the cost of pockets of violence.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u201cWe will not sit down for our future to be toyed with. The cost of a new credible voters’ register is cheaper than the cost of violence. Guess it’s time for the Youth to Arise! We cannot afford to fail the masses in 2016. Youth Revolution imminent,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
No revolution imminent – NDC<\/strong><\/p>\n Meanwhile, the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) has condemned the comments made by Sammy Awuku.<\/p>\n According to the NDC “any attempt by Sammy Awuku and his Akuffo-Addo led handful of brigands and buccaneers to misbehave; SHALL be met with the the due process of law!”<\/p>\n A statement signed by the NDC’s National Youth Organiser, Sidii Abubakar Musah also called on the security agencies in the country to be on full alert.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Godwin A.
