Former Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Doe Adjaho, has urged residents in the Asuogyaman constituency not let anyone decieve them by engaging them in tribal politics and for that matter vote for a National Democratic Congress member as their lawmaker in the 2024 parliamentary elections.
He claimed that this will aid in development following John Dramani Mahama’s election in the next general elections to the presidency.
The former speaker said that while politics shouldn’t be decided on tribal lines, the people of Frankadua will benefit from having an NDC legislator in the future NDC government while former President Mahama was touring the Eastern Region.
But he pleaded with the locals not to sell their votes.
“If you see a rat in the afternoon, you should know it is being chased by a wild animal. And what has chased us is why I am here. Don’t let anyone deceive you by practising tribal politics. What you’re trained with is what you practice. I’m telling you not to be deceived with money because if you take that money, you’re equally selling your birthright. You may not get that money in the future again, which will affect your family.”
“I am pleading with the chiefs not to be deceived. If you elect a chief in Frankadua, you cannot select his spokesman from Accra, so I’m asking you to elect an NDC person to represent you in Parliament as you elect John Mahama as the president. You’ve seen what is happening in the country, things are hard now, so for a better future don’t look at what will be given you. I’ll urge you not to take the money, but to vote against them.”
