The Youth Wing of Nation Democratic Congress (NDC) has petitioned President Akufo-Addo to immediately implement Justice Emile Short led Commission Report on Ayawaso West Wuogon which was described as State sponsored violence.
They also charged President to return all the army sent on the streets brutalising back to the barracks.
The demonstrators cautioned the army not to come around with planned violence else there would be clash following the intelligence the NDC picked that the NPP government arranged with their hooligans in the Army to go create another chaos during the protest match.
The NDC Youth wing last Tuesday decorated Accra red and black to express their concerns over the showing a very bad governance by President Akufo-Addo in critical sectors of Ghana.
The country’s youth from all walks of life clad in red and black joined the NDC to hit the streets of Accra on Tuesday over insecurity, military and police brutalities of civilians, injustice, hardships, culture of silence and unemployment including the death of Ibrahim Mohammed aka Kaaka, two others with four who were injured amid chaotic scenes at Ejura, in the Ashante region.
The people of Wa in the Upper East Region were also not spared as they were brutalised by some military men.
These alleged military men who carried out with the barbaric act were suspected hooligans in the NPP who were serving as security to then NPP opposition leader, Nana Akufo-Addo and to the leadership their party.
The demonstrators cautioned the army not to come around with planned violence else there would be clash following the intelligence the NDC picked that the NPP government arranged with their hooligans in the Army to go create another chaos during the protest match.
The NDC National Youth leadership led by George Opare-Addo aka Pablo and other party leadership took turns to address the protestors.
The General Secretary of the party, John Asiedu Nketia, demanding immediate implementation of Justice Emile Short Commission Report, payment of compensation for victims of military, police brutalities, fixing unemployment and other critical issues facing the country.
He further charged the youth of Ghana not to exempt them activities that would caution the ruling NPP to stop attacking and killing youth maiming and kidnapping others.
Knowing how tyrant President Akufo-Addo is the youth have no confidence in the on-going Ejura Commission, as they cited the Emile Short Commission on the ‘state sponsoring’ Ayawaso West Wuogon violence.
The massive protest, dubbed, “A March for Justice” which was attended by NDC MPs, stalwarts, rank and file of the party, started at Accra Mall to Jubilee/Flag-Staff House-Presidency, for over four hours and ended at Parliament during which petition was presented to the both Leaders of the House, Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu and Haruna Iddrisu.
At parliament the protestors clashed with the police over Covid-19 safety protocol breaches but calm was restored.
George Opare-Addo, the NDC National Youth Organiser read out the petition to the deputy Chief of Staff, Dr Asamoah Bossman who received the documents and promised the President would consider the content.
Mrs Ruth Dela Sedor, Deputy NDC National Youth Organiser also read the content of copy of the petition to the parliament.
Prior to the match, the NDC National Youth Organiser, George Opare-Addo sperade some of his youth members to distribute nose masks.
