NDC Will Only Misuse You And Dump You – Afenyo-Markin Cautions Zongo Settlers
The Majority Leader and MP for Effutu, Alexander Afenyo-Markin has scolded the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) for what he says is their pretense to like Zongo people but in reality, they don’t.
Speaking at a stakeholders engagement in Winneba during a campaign visit by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, on Monday, Afenyo-Markin said after the NDC played tribal cards for years against the NPP saying it is an Akan party, it is now clear that it is the NDC that rather doesn’t promote Muslims to ascend in their party.
He cited the case of the recent withdrawal of Haruna Iddrisu and Muntala Mubarak as Minority Leader and Minority Chief Whip respectively.
“They only go to Zongos to use you and dump you. That is why they don’t allow Muslims to rise in the NDC as high as Dr. Bawumia has in the NPP”, he said and urged that “this is the time for all of us to come together to honour Dr. Bawumia”.
Afenyo-Markin added the NDC’s only interest in the youth in Zongo communities is to lure them to engage in violence.
“The NDC’s only mission for the Zongos is to go to Ashaiman, Madina, Nima and New Town to recruit young people to lead confusion for them.”
He charged the youth to reject the NDC stating “say no to them and embrace your brother. The election will be peaceful, so let us all come together”.
He continued; “In the history of Ghana since 1957, this is the first time a Muslim is leading a major party in an election and this is happening in the NPP. So, in 2025, as we swear with the Bible, so shall we swear with the Quran too.”
“We, Christians, are resolved to honour Dr. Bawumia because he deserves it. So, my Muslim brothers, the NDC has nothing to offer. They only come to Zongos to use you and dump you. That is why they don’t allow Muslims to rise in the NDC as high as Dr. Bawumia has. This is the time for all of us to come together to honour Dr. Bawumia.”
