Kwahu Traditional Council Bans NDC Activities; Orders Shutdown of Two NDC Radio Stations

The Kwahu Traditional Council in the Eastern Region has banned all political activities of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Kwahu Traditional Area.

In addition, the Kwahu Traditional Council has ordered the closure of two pro-NDC radio stations, Kwahu FM and Afram FM by midday today July 9.

The announcement was made today at a press briefing addressed by Nana Akouko Boateng, Chief linguist to Kwahuhene Daasebre Akuamoah Boateng today at his palace.

According to the traditional council, the NDC defied the Council’s directive against the invoking of curses within the Traditional Area.

The traditional council also accused the NDC officials led by Mark Oliver Kevor for calling them hypocrites on his two radio stations.

“…We take a strong view of his conduct, you (Mark Oliver Kevor) were summoned before the Traditional Council but you refused to show up. You then go and sit on your radio stations which are located on Kwahu land and run us down. We order that the two stations belonging to Kevor – Okwahu FM and Afram FM be closed by 12:00pm today. If the stations continue to operate beyond the stipulated time, we’ll advise ourselves" Nana Akouko Boateng said

“Again, we’ve realized that the NDC party within the Kwahu land does not respect the traditional authority. Consequently, we’ve banned NDC from any party activities in this area. We don’t want to see any NDC flag, poster in the territorial area of Kwahu” he added.

The executives of the NDC in the Eastern Region including the party’s Regional Communications Officer Dallas Williams, Sidi Bello Deputy Regional Youth Organizer, Daniel Aboagye a former youth organizer and few others were reportedly seen by River Trado in Nkawkaw invoking a curse on persons alleged to have been imported in the region by the NPP to register in the ongoing voters registration exercise.

According to the party executives, they have resorted to invoking curses as a result of the security agencies failure to stop the busing of non-residents to its stronghold constituencies by some persons in the ruling New Patriotic Party.

The Regional Communication Director of the Party Dallas Williams believes their actions are in demand for natural justice in lieu of diminishing justice in the country due to lethargic attitude by the police .

However, a statement issued by the Eastern Regional Director of the ruling NPP David Prah stated that “Eastern Regional Executives of the New Patriotic Party need not to bus people outside to Afram Plains to register before winning that seat this time around, looking at the impeccable records of development and human centered policies carried out by the government of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo.”
