NPP youth wing holds public forum Thursday

As part of activities geared towards the December 7 polls, the youth wing of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) is set to hold a public forum dubbed: ‘Arise Ghana Youth...Lead the Change’ on Thursday, 11 August at Agbogbloshie, a suburb of Accra. The forum is in line with the International Youth Day celebration, which falls on Saturday, 12 August.

A statement released by the National Youth Organiser of the NPP, Sammi Awuku, noted: “Barbers, shoeshine boys, tailors, dressmakers, porters, commercial drivers, students, unemployed graduates, nurses, etc., will give real life testimonies on issues arresting youth development under the Mahama administration. It is also a platform for the NPP to talk about the destiny-changing solutions the NPP ticket of Nana Akufo-Addo and Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has for the youth of the country.”

It further said: “Come one, come all. This election is about us, about our dire situation, about our future. Let us lead the change that we need, the change that we seek, and the change that we desire and deserve.”

“The 2016 general elections are more about the worsening issue of unemployment crisis in the country today and the distressful struggle of the young people of Ghana to find jobs, earn an income, and secure a brighter future for themselves.”
