Spokesperson of the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Aremeyaw Shaibu, has called on politicians to refrain from inciting the youth towards violence ahead of the 2024 general elections. 

He expressed deep concern over the numerous violent incidents recorded during the ongoing limited voter registration exercise.

Sheikh Aremeyaw noted that these acts of violence contribute to widespread fear and anxiety regarding the upcoming December elections. 

He highlighted that the recent spate of violent incidents in the voter registration process has alarmed stakeholders, who worry about the implications for the 2024 general elections.

Sheikh Aremeyaw questioned the feasibility of conducting peaceful elections, given the current climate and urged politicians to stop conditioning the youth for violence. 

He emphasised the need for a non-violent approach to the electoral process.

Speaking at a National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) press briefing, which announced the commencement of work for its Inter-Party Dialogue Committees, Sheikh Aremeyaw appealed to the youth to remain vigilant and resist being manipulated by politicians to instigate unrest. 

He stressed the importance of maintaining peace and stability during the electoral period.

“I speak to the youth of our country. No politician is worth the blood of another. This year, let no blood spill on our land because of politics. Politicians, make sure you avoid preparing the minds of our young people for violence. The recent voter registration gives credence to our fear and anxiety of possible violence in December," he admonished.
