Asiedu Nketia Snds Strong Message To Hausa And Fulani In Ghana Reveals Next Action Towards Them
Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, the Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has issued a strong message to the Hausa and Fulani communities in Ghana, revealing his commitment to fighting for their inclusion in the voter registration process.
According to a Video on X, formerly known as Twitter, Asiedu Nketiah stated, “For every voter registration exercise, I lead and fight for Fulanis and Hausas to be registered.”
Asiedu Nketiah, who has been the Chairman of the NDC since 2018, has been a vocal advocate for the rights of minority groups in Ghana, particularly the Hausa and Fulani communities.
His statement comes amidst ongoing debates about the inclusion of these communities in the electoral process, with some arguing that they are not Ghanaian citizens and should not be allowed to vote.
However, Asiedu Nketiah has consistently maintained that the Hausa and Fulani communities, many of whom have lived in Ghana for generations, have the right to participate in the democratic process.
His tweet has sparked discussions on social media, with some praising him for his commitment to inclusivity and others criticizing him for what they see as pandering to non-Ghanaian interests.
The Hausa and Fulani communities in Ghana have often faced discrimination and marginalization, despite their significant contributions to the country’s economy, particularly in the livestock and trading sectors.
Asiedu Nketiah’s statement is seen as a significant boost to these communities, who have long sought recognition and inclusion in Ghana’s political landscape.
The NDC, under Asiedu Nketiah’s leadership, has been making efforts to reach out to these communities, with the party’s flagbearer, John Mahama, recently meeting with Hausa and Fulani leaders to discuss their concerns.
As Ghana prepares for the 2024 general elections, the issue of voter registration and the inclusion of minority groups is expected to be a major talking point.
Asiedu Nketiah’s strong message to the Hausa and Fulani communities is likely to shape the discourse around this issue and could potentially influence the electoral strategies of the major political parties.
The Electoral Commission of Ghana, which is responsible for the voter registration process, is yet to comment on Asiedu Nketiah’s statement or clarify its stance on the inclusion of the Hausa and Fulani communities.
As the debate continues, it remains to be seen how this issue will be resolved and what impact it will have on the outcome of the 2024 elections.
