The Greater Accra Youth Wing of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has announced that the necessary arrangements have been made for what it describes as historic clean-up exercise at the Cantonment office of the party’s Flagbearer, Ex-President John Mahama on Thursday, November 23, 2023.
According to the Regional Youth Wing, it is embarking on this exercise which starts at 6am as part of our Party’s civic duty to help the failed Akufo Addo/Bawumia government’s abandoned promise of making Accra the cleanest city in Africa.
It would be recalled that on April 24, 2017, President Akufo Addo is quoted to have said “the commitment we are making and which I want you all to make with me is that by the time we end our four-year term, Accra is going to be the cleanest city in Africa.”
But the Youth Wing noted that typical of the Akufo Addo/Bawumia government, it has failed to fulfill this promise even after Ghanaians extended its mandate.
“Today, Accra is in a sordid state to far as sanitation is concerned of which Cantonment, which was noted for its tidy and serene atmosphere, is not an exception. The prime residential and ambassadorial enclave like Cantonment where the prestigious Bank hospital is sited, is now competing with some bushes in rural areas that house rodents. We are of the view that our flag bearer’s office must be free from weeds and filth,” the Youth Wing stated in a statement signed by Greater Accra Youth Organizer, Amorse Amos Blessing.
It added: “Given that the next Mahama-led administration would have mountains of challenges to deal with, we have taken it upon ourselves to start addressing some of the teeth-ing problems even before Ghanaians honor us with their votes. The November 23 clean up exercise is part of series of activities the wing would undertake.”
The Youth Wing further served notice saying “For the avoidance of doubt, trespassers would be treated as unwelcomed visitors. As a reminder, come along with anything you can carry.”
