Speaking to Citi News after presenting the items to the Bolgatanga municipal health directorate, Isaac Adongo, said, the donation was a swift intervention to protect frontline workers in the discharge of their duties to save constituents from the dangers of COVID-19.

He assured that the NDC will unflinchingly support government in the fight against COVID-19 to save the lives of Ghanaians, and cautioned against any politicization of the deadly COVID-19.

“I want to assure you that, the NDC will do everything we can at this material moment to support the government in power to save our people. We are not ready to do politics with this dangerous disease but we know that after this disease if our people are safe enough, they will vote for us in 2020. And so the contest of 2020 can wait now while we focus our attention on defeating this enemy that has basically put fear in almost everybody,” he added.
