Let's Sanitise Our Air-waves For The 2012 Election - PNC

Ramadan Abu - PNC Chairman

The youth wing of the Peoples National Convention (PNC) has observed with great worry the current trend of activities within the media landscape, considering the delicate nature of December 7th, 2012.

In a press statement signed by National Youth Organiser of the party, Ramadan Abu, it stated that “Our worry is as a result of past experience in Rwanda. Today, the big question is, “where is the journalist who caused one of the greatest genocides in the history of Africa?”

The party therefore urged all media houses, host/hostess, panel members, serial callers and the general public to desist from inflammatory comments that attack the persona of political party leaders and rather focus on discussing issues that borders on the socio-economic development of Ghana.

We expect the media, as the fourth estate of the realm of governance, to play their role by educating their listeners on happenings and policies directions of the diverse political parties thus; giving room for a healthy debate that will shape the future of our motherland, Ghana, the statement added.

The PNC youth wing is urging the media commission to, as a matter of urgency, step in and look at ways to sanitise the media landscape to prevent our dear nation from embarking on an unholy journey of destruction. We would want all parties to call their members to order and require them to stick to the pertinent issues that will build their parties and our nation, it stressed.

The youth wing also sent a strong caution to anyone who thinks he had monopoly over violence and insults.

The youth of Ghana will not sit and watch them destroy the very country our forebearers, Dr K. Nkrumah, Hilla Limann and others built.

They should be mindful of the fact that, Ghana continues to be a peaceful nation and the PNC youth wing is ready to use every legitimate means to protect the constitution and the good people of our land, it concluded.
