Okoe Boye endorses Ga-Dangme demonstration over demolitions, displacement

Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, Dr Bernard Okoe Boye, has lent his backing to the Ga-Dangme Progressive Front's proposed peaceful demonstration. This event, dubbed "Aaagbe wɔ demo," is set for Thursday, October 29, and will see participants gather at La Pleasure Beach before marching to the President's residence.

In a Facebook post, Dr Okoe Boye highlighted the urgent need for justice in response to the escalating demolitions, displacement, and destruction of livelihoods in Ga-Dangme communities. He emphasized that these actions, particularly along the coastline, extend beyond mere land disputes, touching on the Ga-Dangme people's history, identity, and heritage.

Dr Okoe Boye condemned the brutalization of residents and lamented the desecration of their livelihoods and ancestral lands. He warned against the potential misuse of state power, vowing that it should never be employed to inflict brutality, humiliation, or dispossession. The Ga-Dangme Progressive Front has called upon residents across the Greater Accra Region to join the demonstration, which aims to seek justice while safeguarding the dignity, rights, and heritage of the Ga-Adangbe people.

Dr Okoe Boye concluded by stating that the affected residents deserved answers and accountability, underscoring their right to justice above all else.
