Spokesperson for Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia and the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentary candidate for Tano North Constituency, Dr Gideon Boako has cautioned the youth against engaging in political violence.

He stating that “no politician is worth the sacrifice of your blood.”

Speaking at a peace walk and talk event in Duayaw Nkwanta on Saturday, November 16, Dr. Boako emphasised the importance of prioritising personal safety and community well-being over partisan interests.

He reminded the youth that politicians “come and go,” but the future of their community should remain paramount.

The event, organised by the Tano North local council of churches, aimed to foster peace and unity ahead of the 2024 elections. It attracted participants from various political parties, community leaders, and traditional chiefs, underscoring a shared commitment to a peaceful electoral process.

Dr. Boako urged the youth to focus on maintaining harmony, adding that no political ambition or allegiance is worth the risk of violence or bloodshed.

Ahead of the polls, several politicians including the presidential candidates such as Dr Bawumia, John Mahama and Alan Kyerematen, have entreated all and sundry to seek peace when they go out to cast their ballot.

In the 2020 general elections, several lives were lost and investigations are still ongoing.
