NDC Has Neglected Us Despite Voting For Them Since 1992 – Adlaku Youth Cry Out

The Volta Region is the surest region for the NDC since time immemorial, but it looks like they would surely lose some votes out of there this election cycle.
The youth of Adaklu have issued a statement in which they state that despite voting for the NDC consistently since 1992, the region has been neglected every time the party has come to power.
The statement was in response to the Electoral Commission designating the town one of the flashpoints to be watched out for in this year’s election.
“Adaklu is under one paramountcy and we see each other as a family, therefore, it is frivolous for the EC to portray us as being lawless and violent. Was this classification based on the following critical factors such as corruption, poverty, suffering and struggling for survival and lack of opportunities for the youth and social amenities which can affect peace? This is because the NDC has neglected the people of Adaklu, even though we always vote massively for the NDC since 1992.” the statement read, released by some disgruntled youth of the area began.
“It is also very distasteful to note that after describing us as the poorest constituency in the Volta Region, the impression is also created that we are violent. For tagging Adaklu constituency as violent, we believe it will unjustifiably retard developments in the area, which will increase the level of poverty among us. We will not allow it. We want to believe, however, that the Electoral Commission has plans far advanced to use the police and the armed forces to intimidate us to make way for the NDC to rig the 2016 general elections. This tag should also open our minds to realise how the NDC regards us, the people of Adaklu.
“We are calling on the Electoral Commission to come out with the criteria they used in the determination of the list of these so-called flashpoints in the country. We are also calling on all Adaklu citizens to disregard and treat the EC’s statement with the contempt it deserves. We shall forever love ourselves, remain peaceful as we are, and be united to fight the poverty cancer that has bedevilled us.
“We the people of Adaklu have never witnessed any election-related violence, therefore, the tagging of the constituency as a flashpoint stands to be questioned. This labelling has downgraded us as peace-loving people.” it concluded.
The statement was signed by  Christo Klutse, Raybon-Evans Anyadi, and Bright Nyatsikor – all spokespersons for the youth in the Volta regional town.
