The Youth Wing of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has admonished the government of Ghana to evacuate Ghanaians especially students who are currently in Ukraine following the invasion by Russia.
A statement issued by the National Youth Organizer George Opare Addo disclosed that their call comes in the wake of stories and videos circulating on social media.
Tyr party described the videos and stories as
cringing and that Ghana cannot afford to lose any Ghanaian in the skirmishes.
“This follows similar actions taken by other countries who prioritize lives of its citizens. The fact that government has remained silent on this issue for nearly three (3) days is very telling.
As a matter of urgency, we call on government to put in place measures to relocate Ghanaian students to a safer zone in the region or bring them back home. The ongoing stand off between Ukraine and Russia, and it’s attendant military actions must not be taken for granted more-so when Ghanaian lives are at stake,” the statement added.
