The youth in the Zongo communities in the country have been admonished not to allow themselves to be used as stooges by politicians.
Alhaji Abdul Ali Barry, the Asanteman Zongo Nkosuohene in Kumasi, advised the youth to eschew the penchant for money by refusing to be stooges of politicians to perpetuate violence, particularly during election period.
He advised them to opt for a better option of pursuing higher education to better their lives and secure their future.
The Asanteman Zongo Nkosuohene gave the advice at his residence at Dichemso, on Thursday, April 11, 2024 to mark the end of one month of the fast of Ramadan, the Eid ul-Fitr.
He cautioned that monetising one’s youthful life could be disastrous as education cannot be compared to education with money.
Alhaji Barry, however, expressed satisfaction with the prevailing peaceful atmosphere in the country and cautioned politicians to desist from acts that could trigger violence or crisis during the election.
“We are one people and I urge the electorate to exercise their franchise by voting peacefully and whoever emerges as winner should be accepted by Ghanaians,” he said.
