Detribalize Supreme Court verdict - Gonjaland Youth tells Ghanaians

The National Association of Gonjaland Youth has asked Ghanaians to detribalize the outcome of the Supreme Court verdict on August 29.

Regardless of who wins the seven months old election petition hearing, the Association expects everybody to accept the verdict in good faith.

It will be recalled that President John Dramani Mahama himself has on ceaseless occasions made a passionate appeal to Ghanaians especially those living in Zongo communities to exercise maximum restraint aftermath the Supreme Court verdict.

The president reiterated his call at the Independence Square in Accra when he joined Muslims to celebrate this year’s Eid-ul fetir.

Speaking to Citi News on the sidelines at the 7th edition of the National Association of Gonjaland Youth Central Committee meeting in Tamale, the Association’s Secretary, Dramani Dari encouraged the executive members to serve as peace Ambassadors in their localities before, during and after the Supreme Court verdict.

He said the meeting centered on peaceful co-existence and environmental degradation which is increasingly depleting the ecology of Gonjaland.

According to Mr. Dari, the Association has formed vigilante groups to collaborate with the District Assemblies and the security agencies to curb the menace of illegal lumbering in Gonjaland where the Mole National Park is located.

He disclosed that the Association also proposed building a secretariat where its activities will be carried in future.

The National Association of Gonjaland Youth is preoccupied with championing the course of uplifting the image of Gonjaland in terms of human and infrastructural development.

Prior to the 2012 general elections, the Association’s leadership threatened to advice the people of Gonjaland to boycott all political activities in the area if there were no signs of construction works do not begin on the Damongo-Fufulso Sawla road.

At that time, the Association listed the Tamale-Salaga-Kpandai, Domeabra-Mpaha, Kusawgu-Tuluwe, Busunu-Daboya-Mankarigu, Laribanga-Bawena and Laribanga-Mole as some of the major roads in the Gonjaland that needed government’s rapid attention.
