Volta Regional Youth Wing of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) has condemned recent claims by a pressure group Volta Freedom Fighters against the Deputy General Secretary of the party Koku Anyidoho accusing him of defaming the party.

The NDC youth wing in the region is arguing that the claims by the pressure group should be disregarded.

At a press conference held in Ho, the Volta Regional Youth Wing disassociated itself from the allegations adding that the group is not recognized by the leadership of the NDC.

The Volta regional Youth Organizer, Egypt Kobla Kudoto said “the voices of the group do not represent the regional youth wing of the party.”

He added that the party would not accommodate individuals whose utterances make the party unattractive.

The pressure group calling itself Volta Freedom Fighters in the Volta region recently accused Koku Anyidoho of tarnishing the image of the NDC in the region and further called on elders of the party to call him to order.

The group said “the deputy general secretary unnecessarily launches blistering attacks on some government appointees in a quest to satisfy his ego.”

However the youth organizer told Citi News that the claims by the group are “without merit and designed to drag the party in the region into the mud.”

He called on the youth of the Volta region to redirect their energy into improving themselves and not to engage in unproductive ventures.

In a related development two youth groups from the region; Operation 1 Million Votes Movement and Brigade of Young Social Democrats (BOYSD) have also added their voices in condemning the utterances of the youth group describing it as unacceptable.
