Vice President Bawumia has urged leaders in the various Zongo communities to educate the youth to resist attempts by politicians to use them for any violent undertaking, especially in this election year.
Dr, Bawumia revealed that politicians are fond of enrolling Zongo youth for fierce acts which does not help to preserve peace and speak well of Zongo communities.
The Vice president was addressing delegates at the ongoing consultative meeting of the National Council of Zongo Chiefs at Kyebi in the Eastern Region.
“In an election year, unscrupulous politicians are going to come to Zongo communities to recruit youth for violent purposes. You should educate the youth to ask politicians to bring their own children to lead any such acts of violence if indeed it is a worthy cause.
“I want to assure you that as a party that believes in the rule of law, we the NPP shall continue to use legitimate arbitration processes for resolving political disputes.”

Vice President Bawumia reminded the audience, which included His Eminence, the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Osman Nuhu Sharubutu, Osabarima Adusei Peasah IV, Chief of Tafo and representative of the Okyenhene, that no government since independence has paid as much attention to the development of the Zongo communities as the government of President Akufo-Addo.
“This government is committed to holistic, inclusive national development and reducing the suffering of our people. No one should be left behind, especially in the Zongos. This commitment is evidenced by the establishment of a Ministry for Zongo and Inner City Development, the first in Ghana’s history, a Zongo Development Fund and the numerous infrastructure projects going on across Zongo communities in Ghana.
“We are paying Arabic instructors, whose allowances were cancelled by the previous government. There are also several national programmes ongoing, including the Free Senior High School programme. I can assure you that the welfare of Zongos is dear to the heart of this government.”
