Fellow Ghanaians, esteemed members of the media fraternity,
Today, I, Dr. Nana Agyenim Boateng, President of Concerned Youth of Asante, stand before you to express our strong opposition to the planned demonstration against our Igbo brothers and sisters in Ghana.
Asanteman has always been a beacon of hospitality, welcoming foreigners and treating them with kindness. This tradition of warmth and acceptance makes the proposed demonstration unnecessary and unwelcome.
Let me be clear: the presence of Igbo individuals in Ghana is not an issue. We respect their roles in our communities. Instead of targeting our Igbo neighbours, I urge our government to focus on strengthening our borders to prevent malicious individuals from entering our country.
Ghanaians are known for their hospitable nature, and we are always ready to welcome foreigners with open hearts.
However, I advise all foreigners living in Ghana to abide by our laws, contributing positively to our societies and living in harmony with us.
In conclusion, Concerned Youth of Asante stands firm in promoting unity and peaceful coexistence among all residents in Ghana. Let us reject hatred and division, and embrace our shared humanity instead.
Thank you.
