The youth of Northern Region have served notice they will at the December 7 polls vote against politicians found culpable of using hate speech in the media landscape.<\/p>\n
According to them, they are fed up with the chieftaincy, political, land and other related needless conflicts which have over the years thwarted the region\u2019s transformational agenda.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”l2q7iNDQrWOZRmIeiXaVEtwPX2hMfSuA”]They have therefore admonished such politicians to desist from their ill-mannered behavior likely to plunge the nation into chaos ahead of the forthcoming elections.<\/p>\n
They cited the Rwanda genocide, the Kenyan and Cote D\u2019I Voire political crisis as a litmus test for Ghanaian politicians to be civil on their campaign platforms.<\/p>\n
The unhappy future leaders of the Northern Region raised the red flag on the rising political tension in the country at the Annual National Youth Forum held in Tamale.<\/p>\n
The event celebrated under the theme, \u201cOne Ghana, One People, Youth Must Act for Peace,\u201d brought together youth and other stakeholders from some identified political hotspots across the Northern Region.<\/p>\n
The event was under the auspices of three Non Governmental Organizations, the Youth Empowerment for Life (YEfL), the Centre for Active Learning and Integrated Development (CALID), Youth Network for Sustainable Development (YNSD) in collaboration with the National Youth Authority (NYA).<\/p>\n
