Fred Amugi, a veteran Ghanaian actor, has added his voice to the recent clash between NPP & NDC supporters at the Odododiodio constituency.
Supporters of the two major political parties; the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), on Sunday morning got embroiled in violent clashes on the streets of Jamestown, Odododiodio in the Greater Accra Region.
But Fred Amugi Speaking on CTV’s breakfast show ‘Anopa Dwabirem’ on Tuesday, 27 October 2020, the award-winning actor urged the youth to unite.
“If there is a big man out there giving you some GHS50 or GHS20 and some weed for you to be high to hurt someone when you come back to your senses and realise you’ve hurt your own brother, what will you do?
“The Bible says: ‘Love thy neighbour as yourself’.
“You are one people living together in one area. Don’t allow two or three people or politics to divide you.
“Let me remind you that many of these politicians have their visas and air tickets ready, so, don’t allow yourselves to be used.”
Meanwhile, Mr. Nii Lante Bannerman, the NPP parliamentary candidate for the constituency has accused Mr. Nii Lantey Vanderpuye, the incumbent MP of masterminding the attacks on the NPP supporters in the area at the weekend.
Mr. Bannerman is demanding the immediate arrest of all the persons involved in the melee else he and his supporters would defend themselves.
