ANUF demands apology
for former President Kufuor
Kumasi, March 31,
Ghanadot/GNA – The Asante United Front (ANUF), a pressure group,
has asked the Osu Traditional Council and the Ga-Adangbe Youth
to retract their threats to eject former President John Agyekum
Kufuor from a private office accommodation at Ridge in Accra and
to apologize to the nation.
This, it said, was necessary for unity and cohesion in the
country.
The Front, in a statement signed by its spokesman, Mr Yaw
Boateng, in Kumasi, said it found the open demonstration towards
the former President by the two groups as both “unfortunate and
unbecoming.”
The Constitution of Ghana, the ANUF noted, allowed “citizens to
live” wherever they chose within the country, adding, “it is
unthinkable for any group of people or an individual to arrogate
to himself the power to decide where a fellow citizen should
settle and make a living out of the environment.”
It warned that if the Osu Chiefs and Ga-Adangbe Youth persisted
in their campaign, it could be forced to organize series of
demonstrations to bring pressure on Government to return
acquired lands by the State in other regions to their lawful
owners.
The statement said people should not forget that Accra owed its
present status to the hard work of all Ghanaians and,
particularly, to the natural resources from other parts of the
country outside the national Capital.
