Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen, an acclaimed journalist and editor-in-chief of ApexNew Gh, was particularly elated. He attributed this peaceful resolution to the people’s deep understanding of the importance of maintaining peace during such critical times.
With a vision for lasting tranquility, Mr. Ngamegbulam had spearheaded a unique peace campaign. It was a simple yet profound initiative: he printed messages advocating for peace on handkerchiefs and distributed them to parliamentary candidates. This effort, which began during the 2020 general elections, aimed to create an environment of serenity throughout the electoral process.
Mr. Ngamegbulam’s unwavering commitment to promoting harmony and stability in his community was evident in every strand of fabric he shared.
During a recent donation of these handkerchiefs to Hon. Isaac Adongo, the Bolgatanga Central Member of Parliament and NDC Parliamentary Candidate, Mr. Ngamegbulam emphasized the significance of the handkerchiefs. “This represents peace,” he said, handing over the symbolic fabric. By distributing these handkerchiefs, he empowered candidates to encourage calm among polling station officials, serving as a reminder of their duty to foster a tranquil atmosphere.
“If tensions rise,” he noted, “the message on the handkerchief is a gentle reminder to maintain peace and resolve issues amicably.” Alongside this initiative, he shared a gripping slogan: “Every voice matters, every vote counts, let’s build a brighter future together as political parties.” This powerful phrase resonated with many, promoting unity and collaboration.
Mr. Ngamegbulam’s efforts didn’t go unnoticed. His initiative was pivotal in cultivating unity, stability, and peaceful coexistence, ensuring that the elections remained free and fair. Upon receiving the printed handkerchiefs, Hon. Adongo expressed his commitment to preserving peace, echoing the sentiments embedded in the fabric.
However, he did share concerns about potential disturbances, alleging that his camp had observed secret meetings orchestrated by a figure named Farouk at a location known as SAWABA. “We are watching carefully, but no one should take our decency for granted,” he warned. “We will not fold our hands for anyone to take advantage of us.”
Meanwhile, attempts to engage with Elvis Awonekai Figo, the NPP Parliamentary candidate for Bolgatanga Central, proved fruitless. Despite these challenges, the spirit of unity and the pursuit of peaceful elections continued to thrive, fueled by the collective efforts of devoted individuals like Mr. Ngamegbulam, who believed that harmony was essential for a brighter future.
