Mr Robert Ekow Ewur, the Central Regional Director of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), has admonished the people of Effutu Constituency not to allow the quest for political power to breed tension in the area.
He said it was an indisputable fact that the current political climate prevailing in Effutu was divisive and the differences, disunity among families and friends must give way to cohesion, harmony, and tranquility.
Mr Ewur gave the advice during a sensitisation drive by Effutu Directorate of the Commission at Eyipey and Akousa communities in Winneba.
The meeting was under the theme; “Get involve ensuring peace before during and after the 2024 general election.”
It was sponsored by Mr Alexander Ato Kwamina Afenyo-Markin, Member of Parliament for the constituency.
The Regional Director indicated that the political temperature of Effutu in recent times had been rising gradually but called for mutual respect and decorum in the activities of political parties during political campaigns to forestall any mayhem ahead of the elections in December and after.
The Commission said the activities of individuals and political parties must be devoid of acts that could impact negatively on the peace Effutu and the country was enjoying.
He said as the Commission was preaching for peace across the country, there was the need for all, particularly the youth to be ambassadors of peace, reject persons who would incite them to cause chaos or violence.
“We have only one Effutu let see ourselves as one people for development and not to allow partisan politics to divide us, he added.
Mr Bosson-Amedenu Sena, Effutu Municipal Director of the Commission, said the sensitisation drive was to ensure continuous peace to prevailed in the country before, during and after the December Presidential and Parliamentary elections.
He urged the people not to allow anyone to influence them with monies and other items to destabilise the peace.
Mr Kofi Kum, Assembly man for Effutu Eyipey electoral area urged the residents to be ambassadors of peace and not indulge in acts which were unproductive.
“We must see ourselves as one people, tolerate each other and stop in-fighting because of politics.
