\u00a0Ghanaians have been urged to vote for leaders who are capable of solving the problems facing the country and not on religious grounds.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are advising everybody to not use religion as a reason for any argument or to cause any trouble during this campaigning season or on the voting day. We are all one people,\u201d says Ms Lucille Hewlett Annan, Commission Secretary at the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE).<\/p>\n
She made the call at the launch of \u201cthe Methodist Youth Against Vigilantism and Violence\u201d (MeYAVV) in Accra on Sunday to sensitise young people within the church and the communities about the need to maintain peace during this year\u2019s general election.<\/p>\n
It was organised by the Methodist Church Ghana, Accra Diocese, under its Youth Development Ministry (YDM) in partnership with the NCCE and Greater Accra Regional Peace Council Secretariat (GARPC).<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are also fo\u00accusing on religious tol\u00aderance. This is not the time for us to divide on religious lines. We\u2019ve always lived in peace in Ghana and we don\u2019t want to add another area of worry in our election and political life,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
The Accra Diocesan Vice Chairman, YDM, Mr Frank Spencer Forson, said MeYAVV was a youth advocacy group that seeks to launch a massive peace campaign against vigilantism and violence in the upcoming general election.<\/p>\n
He noted that the objective of the cam\u00adpaign was to reach out to the vast majority of the youth within the church and com\u00admunity with a message that would remind them and strengthen their resolve not to be lured into vigilantism, violence and any social unrest before, during and after the election.<\/p>\n
A member of GARPC, Dr Afua Boate\u00admaa Yakohene, stressed on the need to maintain peace as a country to continue to flourish, grow and be prosperous.<\/p>\n
