In the aftermath of recent post-election violence, Hon. Alex Yaw Baakoh, known popularly as Nana Abroso, the Assembly Member for the Himan Electoral Area in the Prestea Huni Valley Municipality, has made a passionate call for the cessation of violent acts, including the destruction of state properties and unlawful entry into mining sites. Hon. Nana Abroso, a philanthropist and businessman, stressed that these actions are counterproductive to the nation’s development goals.
Speaking out against the violence, Hon. Abroso stated that the citizens of Ghana voted to elect a president who would push the country toward progress, not one who would have to repair the damage caused by the reckless actions of angry youth.
“We went to the polls to elect a leader whose responsibility is to bring positive change and lead us toward prosperity. It is utterly unacceptable for any president to inherit a situation where they have to rebuild what has been broken by the very people who should be working with the government to build this country,” said Hon. Nana Abroso. “Destruction of state properties and the unlawful entry into mining sites is not a solution to any grievance. Instead, it hinders the development of our nation and jeopardizes the lives of innocent citizens.”
The recent wave of violence has seen youth engaging in acts of vandalism, setting fire to public infrastructure, and illegally trespassing into mining sites, causing a halt in the work of these essential industries. Mining plays a critical role in the national economy, and these disruptions have compounded the challenges faced by these communities and the country as a whole.
Hon. Abroso expressed his disappointment with the actions of the youth and called for unity, urging young people to turn away from violence and embrace peaceful dialogue to address their concerns.
“We are all stakeholders in the development of this country, and we must come together to build, not destroy. Violence only delays the progress we seek. The youth of this nation should be channeling their energy into making positive changes and contributing to the well-being of their communities,” he said.
Hon. Nana Abroso’s appeal to the youth has been widely supported by community leaders, local officials, and citizens who recognize the importance of peace and stability for the country’s future. He also stressed that while democracy allows for the expression of diverse opinions, it should always be done in a way that supports the progress of society.
In closing, Hon. Abroso urged Ghanaians to set aside their differences and focus on the greater good of the nation. “Our country will thrive when we work together in peace. Let us set a positive example for the next generation by choosing dialogue over violence and unity over division,” he concluded.
As the nation continues to heal from the post-election tensions, the call for peace and unity from leaders like Hon. Nana Abroso remains crucial for fostering a conducive environment for development and national cohesion.
