Meanwhile, Mr. Mort acknowledged the poverty level in the region as the cause for the increasing youth involvement in smoking and drinking alcohol in the region. Insisting that such an attitude is not something that propels a region into prosperity.
The former Regional Organizer for the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) Mr. Yaw Mort has extended his appeal to the youth in the Upper East Region to desist from destroying themselves with the dangerous intake of alcohol. Apexnewsgh.com report
“I will appeal to our youth to desist from things that will destroy their lives especially alcoholism and another thing that is coming up in the system has to do with this energy drink that has come, it is something that is destroying lives and I think people don’t know about it. Our young ones always add certain drugs into them and when they drink it, it will ginger them to do things they ought not to be doing. I will appeal to the youth to see it that, those things are not good and they should desist from them”.
He appealed to the youth to stop lavishing their lives unnecessarily and invest in wrestling and footballing because is another area the youth could channel their attention to as far as making huge money for themselves is concerned.
“I will also appeal to our youth to develop an interest in sporting activities. Because, if they are involved in sporting activity, they would see that they will not like all these smoking and alcoholism because when the heart is active, the appetite of smoking and drinking alcohol will not come”. He appealed
“Youth in the region should get themselves something doing, they should not relent at all. They should involve themselves such as boxing, wrestling, and footballing to keep themselves going”. He advised
Also, talking about the health benefit, Mr. Mort reveals that young men who are engaged in sporting activities hardly fall sick of high BP or any other minor sicknesses.
However, he also appeals to the people of the Upper East Region to make sure they avoid anything that will cause fire outbreaks, especially during the season of harmattan.
