Supporters of the ruling National Democratic Congress who thronged the streets of Kumasi, apparently to say ‘thank you’ to government for a supposedly embarking on some developments, were left dejected and downhearted when residents of the city booed and hooted at them at every point of their ‘Thank You’ March.
The NDC supporters, led by a group known as the Organized Youth of Ashanti, started their march from the Kumasi Cultural Centre through the Central business district.
To their dismay, they were met with loud boos and hooting by residents of the City. The booing got intense at the Central business area and the March had to brace the hostile reaction from the traders and by-standers to continue.
Many of the residents expressed their disgust with the ‘thank you’ March, and wondered how in the face of the current excruciating economic hardships and the monstrous power crisis anybody will resort to such needless praise singing.
Traders at the Central business area who, for some time now, have been up in arms with KMA, were visibly angry and asked that the NDC direct their energies to efforts that will relieve the people of their hardships.
Onlookers told the Scandal newspaper that “the march was nothing short of an exercise by partisan ‘bootlickers’, as some 400 persons were bussed to the grounds with each given a T-shirt and GH¢50.”
