Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin, the MP for Effutu and Majority Leader in Parliament, has urged Muslims to embrace the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and ignore the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Speaking at a stakeholders’ engagement at Winneba on Monday during the campaign visit of NPP Presidential Candidate Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Afenyo-Markin stated that, despite the NDC’s years-long attempt to portray the party as an Akan party, it is now evident that the NDC does not support Muslims in its leadership. This seems to be a reference to the recent resignations of Minority Leader Haruna Iddrisu and Minority Chief Whip Muntala Mubarak.
“They only go to Zongos to use you and dump you. That is why they don’t allow Muslims to rise in the NDC, as high as Dr. Bawumia has in the NPP. This is the time for all of us to come together to honour Dr. Bawumia, ” he urged.
Afenyo-Markin continued, saying that the NDC’s sole goal in luring Zongo youth into leading violent acts is its only interest in them.
“The NDC’s only mission for the Zongos is to go to Ashaiman, Madina, Nima and New Town to recruit young people to lead confusion for them,” added the MP, and urged the Zongo Youth to reject the NDC’s overtures
“Say no to them and embrace your brother. The election will be peaceful so let us all come together.”
