Sammy Awuku cautions NPP youth to be disciplined on voting day

National Youth Organizer of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Samuel Awuku has called on party youth to be disciplined especially on social media ahead of its presidential primaries on Saturday, October 18 th , 2014.

According to him, the vitriolic attacks by supporters of the flagbearer aspirants on facebook have the tendency to divide the party.

Speaking on Adom FM's morning show "Dwaso Nsem", Friday, Sammy Awuku urged the youth to be circumspect in their discourse on social media.

 “As the clock ticks for us to go to the polls tomorrow, I urge all our youth to be circumspect when interacting on social media because I think that is the main cause of fights amongst our youth. Dirty campaigns on social media must stop,” he stressed.

The NPP youth leader indicated that winning the 2016 election is not an option and that all party faithful especially the youth are expected to come together and work hard for victory.

“We need more empowered youth in our country and so it is our responsibility to make them responsible because when the NPP comes to power in 2016, we will change the dying economy,” he noted.

Sammy Awuku was however impressed with the conduct of the spokespersons of the various flagbearer aspirants and urged them to keep it up.

About 140, 000 delegates are expected to vote in the party's presidential primaries to elect a flagbearer for the 2016 general elections.

The three aspirants contesting the position are; Nana Akufo-Addo, Alan Kyeremanten and Francis Addai-Nimoh. Story by Ghana/Adomonline.com/Adwoa Gyasiwaa
