Today can report that scores of passengers at the weekend at the Sekondi Market Lorry Park had some very harsh words for the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The anger of the passengers, the paper was reliably informed, stemmed from the fact the NDC used the Sekondi Lorry Park for its campaign activities at the weekend.
The passengers many of whom became stranded lashed out at the NDC government and described its action as “insensitive.”
Some taxi drivers who spoke to the paper said they were equally disappointed in what President John Dramani Mahama and his campaign did.
They could not understand why the NDC opted to hold its rally at the Sekondi Market Lorry Park.
That move, they stressed, deprived many of them [the taxi drivers] of their daily sales.
“Business today has been very bad, as we [the drivers] could not make our daily sales which are the only means we have for taking care of ourselves and our families,” one of the taxi drivers, Joseph Inkoom, lamented.
Aside from the inconveniences caused to drivers and commuters, major roads in Sekondi were also blocked, which situation prevented cars from directly entering the market and slowing down activities in Sekondi.
Both the passengers and the commercial drivers could also not fathom why the NDC did not hold its campaign activity at the Sekondi Methodist Park which could accommodate more people.
