The Concerned Zongo Youth for Bawumia in the Ashanti Region has described the allegation of neglect leveled against the Vice President and Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as “politically-contrived lies”.
After the election of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia as NPP flagbearer, some youth in the Asawase constituency accused him of neglecting the Zongo community after being sworn into office as Vice President in 2017.
But the Concerned Zongo Youth for Bawumia says the accusations are lies orchestrated by the opposition NDC.
Addressing the press, leader of the Concerned Zongo Youth for Bawumia, Kamal Mohammed highlighted some significant changes the Vice President has brought to the Zongo community.
“We can confidently say the Vice President has mentored and empowered many youth in our Zongo communities, we can confidently mention names such as Dr. Rauf, Hon. Ali Suraj, Chairman MD Moro, Nash, Hajia Zainab Sallow, Manaf Ibrahim, Alhaji Awal, Yussif Osman among others and several projects as well,” he indicated.
Kamal Mohammed accused the NDC of orchestrating politically-motivated lies to denigrate the integrity of the Vice President.
“It has been revealed how the National Communications Officer of the NDC, Sammy Gyamfi and a few unscrupulous agents connected to the main opposition party have been orchestrating politically contrived tweets with the intention of discrediting the Vice President,” he said.
