YOUTH FOR LEADERSHIP TO PROJECT NDC LEGACIES (PAGE 12, SEPT 21, 2010)

Story: Akwasi Ampratwum-Mensah, Sunyani.

YOUTH for Leadership, a movement in the Brong Ahafo Region, that has the mission to uphold, project and perpetuate the legacies of former President J.J. Rawlings, has said the group has neither formed a new political party nor has the intention to join any other political grouping in the region or elsewhere in the country.
The movement stated clearly that, apart from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) party, which the former President was still the father and founder, they had no intention to form or join any political party.
‘‘We still remain as Youth for Leadership in the region and still project the legacies of the Rawlingses. We are saying that, we have not formed any political party as we are projecting the legacies of the Rawlingses’’, the group stressed in a press statement signed by its Regional Secretary, Mr Chester Oppong.
According to them, they were upholding, projecting and perpetuating the enduring legacies of the former President of Ghana and founding father of the ruling NDC, by inculcating the spirit, ideals, values and principles of Flt Lt. Rawlings in children.
They declared: ‘‘May the nobility of the principles and values of our struggle always lead us through the right path to attain liberation and a high level of human life for our people,’’ adding, ‘‘Long live our noble principles and values! Long live our struggle and our historical project! Long live the fore bearer of our struggle, J.J.Rawlings and NDC.’’
The statement wished President J.E.A. Mills and the Better Ghana agenda well.
