The National Organizer for the New Patriotic Party, Henry Nana Boakye, also known as Nana B has reacted to the backlash from people after visiting Senior High Schools with his team amidst covid19.
He explained that there’s nothing wrong with his visit to the SHS where the Electoral Commission decided to register students for voter cards.
The Elector al Commission announced that it will be registering SHS Students who are eligible to vote from Friday to Saturday.
The national organizer, Nana B, and his team, during the process, paid a visit to some of the schools where the registration was ongoing and the NDC said it’s a breach of covid19 protocols.
According to a statement he issued, he stated that he did not breach any protocols nor violated any law for visiting SHS registration center.

IGNORE THE NDC’S VILE & FRUITLESS PROPAGANDA, INDEED THEY DONT LIKE READING
I have taken notice of the wicked propaganda engineered by the NDC over my visit to some Senior High Schools in the Ashanti Region to observe the special registration arrangement by the Electoral Commission in second cycle institutions across the Country.
The NDC propagandists in a haste to unduly criticize me, ignored the vital information and directives that guided the special registration program. This further confirms the belief of many Ghanaians that the NDC doesn’t like reading and of course, I cannot be responsible for their inability to read and understand.
In an official statement issued by Ghana Education Service under the hand of Cassandra Twum Ampofo on the 9th of July 2020 ahead of the special registration, it was indicated that “The schools have been directed to put in measures to ensure strict compliance with the COVID-19 health and safety protocols and it is the expectation of management of GES that officials of Electoral Commission and the political party representatives, as well as any observer groups present, will do same during the period.”
From the above, it is clear that Electoral Commission officials, Political Party representatives and observer groups were permitted to enter the various Second Cycle institutions during the registration exercise which lasted for just two days.
Indeed, just like all other political party representatives and officials of the electoral commission, I visited the Senior high schools with an accreditation from the EC as a party official. It is important to note that my actions did not in any way flout laid down rules and regulations governing the exercise.
The NDC, maybe, were reluctant to visit the registration centre obviously because of thier misguided decision to obstruct SHS students from registering with their court suit, a decision that will politically haunt them.
That notwithstanding, their resort to needless propaganda is very shameful and I implore the people of Ghana to once again ignore this kind of outmoded antics.
I firmly reassure the Ghanaian Youth, especially students in the various SHSs, of my unwavering commitment to pursue and defend their interest at all times.
Thank You
