Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Mr Kofi Ofosu Boateng, the Bono Regional Secretary of the largest opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has urged supporters and members of the party to remain formidable and forge ahead in unity for the Election 2028.<\/b><\/p>\n

He asked them not to be intimidated, saying that the party was solidly behind them in all efforts to recapture political power in the next General Election.<\/p>\n

Mr Boateng gave the advice when he addressed hundreds of NPP supporters when the party presented a petition to the Bono Regional Coordinating Council (BRCC) after a protest march in Sunyani.<\/p>\n

The aggrieved supporters of the NPP drawn from the Bono, Bono East and Ahafo Regions and parts of the country hit the principal streets of the regional capital on Wednesday April 22 to register their displeasure about what they described as \u201cunwarranted arrests and government-sponsored attack on free speech\u201d.<\/p>\n

Dubbed: \u201cYensuro Ahunahuna Demo\u201d, the protesters wore branded black or red \u2018T\u2019 shirts, held placards with inscriptions like \u201cNo freedom of speech\u201d, \u201cPay workers their salaries\u201d, \u201cAboboyaa Aban\u201d and \u201cNo freedom no peace\u201d, paraded through the principal streets of Sunyani, amid heavy police presence.<\/p>\n

Mr Boateng commended the massive turnout in the protest, saying that was a clear indication that the support base of the NPP remained stronger, despite opposition.<\/p>\n

He emphasised that the NPP had learnt great lessons from the outcome of the Election 2024, and assured the protestors that their efforts in struggling to bring back the party to political power would not be in vain.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile a copy of the petition jointly signed by Theophilus Asomah, Evans Kyere and Sir Amoah, and noted that: \u201cMany Ghanaians no longer feel safe expressing themselves\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cConcurrently, the ordinary Ghanaian is grappling with unbearable economic hardship\u201d, it added and expressed concern about growing youth unemployment in the country.<\/p>\n

It said \u201cTeachers and nurses continue to lament over unpaid salaries and delayed postings; the cost of living continues to rise exponentially and electricity tariffs remain exorbitantly high and transport fares are becoming exorbitant as food prices continue to soar\u201d.<\/p>\n

The petition said it was unhappy that cocoa farmers remained neglected despite their substantial contribution to the economy amid gradual collapse of businesses.<\/p>\n

It called for an urgent need to safeguard free speech and the constitutional rights of all Ghanaians, ending intimidation, harassment, and selective justice as well as enhancing tolerance for criticism and dissenting opinions.The petition also called for concrete measures to address youth unemployment as well as immediate steps to resolve unpaid salaries and delayed postings for teachers, nurses, and other public sector workers.<\/p>\n
