NDC supporters fight over Mahama’s Green Book in Ashaiman

Some members of the governing National Democratic Congress on Saturday afternoon engaged in fisticuffs over the much taunted green book.

The incident occurred in Ashaiman during the inaugural ceremony of the NDC Party's youth working committee.

Party members who were anxiously listening to a speech being delivered by a party communicated had to rush to the high table where the book was being distributed by one Dela Edem, a party communicator.

The die-hard party supporters in a rush to secure copies bulldozed their way through the high table where the dignitaries sat, pushing the Municipal Chief Executive, the Party Chairman and the Parliamentary candidate as well as some other high profile personalities of the party.

The situation which lasted for close to three minutes took the intervention of some well-built members of the Party to bring the situation under control.

The Constituency Party Chairman, Alhaji Shaddad Jallo reacting to the incident noted that it was a good sign to show people are eager to know about the good works of the President.

"We were actually surprised about the incident but I don't think it is a bad thing. It only shows how eager people are to know about the good works our President is doing in the country".

Alhaji Shaddad Jallo however promised to get more copies of the green book for onward distribution for both NDC members and any interested person who wishes to know more about the works of the President.

The NDC Parliamentary candidate, Ernest Norgbey on his part noted that the rush by some members of the party to secure the green book attests to the fact that the NDC is working hard to better the lives of Ghanaians.

"This should tell you that Ghanaians are yearning for the NDC because the green book has made it simple for all to see the good works of His Excellency John Mahama".

He said "though I was pushed together with other executives, i see it as nothing. People are not pushing us because we are sharing money but because they want to also get copies of what has become the Ghanaian bible 'green book' so that they can propagate our good works".

He added that voters have gone past the era where monies were being exchanged for votes.

Mr Norgbey promised to place more copies of the green book at his office for his constituents who might have the need for it to pick for free.
