Put the nation first, stop the blame game - Rev. Asante
Put the Nation first, stop the blame game and
stand-up against violence. This admonition is
coming from Chairman of the National Peace
Council, to the leadership of the governing
National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the
opposition New Patriotic Party.

According to Rev. Prof. Emmanuel Asante, it’s
high time these political leaders showed they have
the interest of the nation at heart by coming out
openly to condemn their supporters who caused
trouble in the just ended limited registration
exercise.

He made these remarks on the AM Show on the
JOYNEWS channel on Multi TV, Wednesday.

"We have plans in the Regions to meet with the
political party leadership and this should
culminate in an event similar to what happened in
2012," Rev. Asante said.

He added that they are in touch with the Kofi
Annan Foundation looking forward to organizing a
major event in Accra in September involving all
the political parties.

He said the Rotary Club which is also committed
to peace is willing to work with the National
Peace Council to promote the peace and violence
free agenda prior to the November polls.

"A number of events have been lined up to address
these issues that would involve our political
leaders," Rev Asante disclosed.
