The United Nkrumaist Front (UNF) has appealed to the National Identification Authority (NIA) to accept the National Voters’ Identification Card in the on-going Ghana Card registration process to avoid denationalisation of a section of the Ghanaian populace.
The appeal was contained in a statement signed and issued by Mr. Michael Aboagye Nketiah, the Regional Secretary of the Front and copied the Ghana News Agency on Thursday in Sunyani.
The UNF is a pressure group consisting of some concerned members of the Nkrumaist Political Parties in the Brong-Ahafo Region.
The statement expressed concern about the rejection of the National Voters’ Identification Card as a form of Identity card in the on-going registration exercise and indicated the fear that some Ghanaians could be denationalised and disenfranchised as a result of that.
It stressed a Passport, Birth Certificate or two witnesses required by the NIA for the process were not the only forms of identification and should consider the acceptance of the Voters’ Identification Card.
The statement noted that the Minority in Parliament had boycotted the exercise whereas some section of Ghanaians had also shown their displeasure with the rejection of the Voters’ Identification Card.
It stated ex-President John Agyekum Kuffour speaking after his registration emphasised the need for the NIA to accept the Voters’ Identification Card as “it is a document that helps identify citizens of Ghana”.
The statement said since the Ghana Card would replace the sectoral identity cards in circulation and become the only card to be used in transactions where identification was required; all efforts must be made by the NIA to capture every Ghanaian.
It therefore appealed to the NIA to heed the call for the acceptance of the Voters’ Identification Card because besides facilitating the registration of all Ghanaians, it would help to speed up the process

NO VOTER'S ID for Ghana card, if you don't have a birth certificate go for one, the office of the Birth and Death is open from 9am-5pm each day from Monday-Friday. Making press conferences for voter ID will not work. Nobody is forcing you to have it, if you really need it,what prevents you from getting a Birth Certificate? it is easier getting a Birth certificate currently even than making a press conference. Those in rural areas know themselves so would willingly help their people who have no Birth cert. to register so what's your problem? NO VOTERS ID FOR GHANA CARD OOOOOOOOOOOOTONNNN!!!!!!!' Nana let it be like that, never bow to the nation wreckers who think their all is winning elections and Ghanaians alone getting ID CARD will disenfranchise them from getting power to create l000***000l and share,because their base is ECOWAS VOTERS ! Nani**amah! Ndc disenfranchise cry is not about any group but the power they so love, Ghanaians alone registering for the Ghana Card will disenfranchise the ndc from getting power, it means their ECOWAS Base will be cut off. We will resist any attempt by the government to succumb to this nons*nse! Ghana is for Ghanaians, Togo is for Togolese and Burkina for Burkinabes and each one must be proud of their country. GHANA IS NOT FOR SALE !
This us*less appeal was covered by GNA? whaaaat? is Ghana so cheap for your institutions even to do whatever they want? who pays the GNA and how are they paid with our taxes for them to do the work of the ndc? nons*nse ! I contribute to Ghana's economy by sending money home every month for these people to enjoy from that? Nons**ense! of what use was the ndc you are working for during their time,how many interventions did they bring to help the people? Nkw*season kwa ! GNA don't cover what the government is doing but has the guts to cover a us**less ndc group using Nkrumah's name instead of Rawlings and they think through that they could deceive the people of the Western and Central regions who are loyal to Osagyefo. My advise to our people from the Central region who are using Osagyefo's legacy in the ndc to stop, else they will never know peace, the man is showing you signs of his disapproval and alien to the ndc by what is happening now. All those from the Central region who took the second slot of ndc presidential candidature and called themselves Nkrumaists are no more and it should be a scary thing to you. Nkrumah never dies ! His spirit is working and working against those using his name to help some people to destroy Ghana. Everyone Knows Chairman Freddie Blay was a true Nkrumaist, he was an mp for the CPP and from Osagyefo's ethnic group of Nzema, he defected to the NPP stood for Vice Chairman and won and when ndc tried to put confusion in the NPP he took over from the substantive Chairman, took the party to elections and won unprecedented with a huge margin of 1.5 million. Nkrumah never dies! his spirit is still hovering around. Osagyefo knows where he belong not where some people unknown to him want him to be. First of all he was the General secretary of the UGCC which comprised, JB Danquah, Akoh Adjei, Obetsebi Lamptey, William Ofori Attah, Paa Grant, Edward Akufo Addo and others and whether you like it or not,that was a fact, they even brought him down from abroad and made him the General Secretary before he separated from them and formed his own party Convention People's Party, so who told you the enemies of Ghana politucs fight was a battle between enemies? it is only ndc who see it that way but true and professional politicians don't see it as a war like the ndc but rather ideological difference. Ndc what is your ideology and what is the meaning of socialism? Nkrumah's socialist party CPP gave over 300 factories, free hospital, free education and what about the ndc socialism, what's your interventions? ***barred word*** thi*ves! I'm proud of the NPP !
All these groups are u-seless. Honestly they do not know what they are about. Why are you asking or appealing to the NIA? The NIA is implementing law so if you know what you are about you will be appealing for the law to be amended. Again, I still dont understand why people are not looking for ways that will make it easy for the law as enacted to be implemented, for example, making it easy for people to acquire a birth certificate or any of the forms of ID required by law but just shouting and making noise as if the law as it is can not work. You are just issuing unnecessary statements.
PLEASE TELL PEOPLE TO GO AND REGISTER THEIR BIRTHS AND ACQUIRE THE CERTIFICATE FOR THE NATIONAL CARD INSTEAD OF FINDING UNWANTED EXCUSES AND SHORTCUTS.....WE SHOULD BE BOLD TO DO THE RIGHTS FOR ONCE AS A NATION.
I WISH NPP WILL BE SMART ON THIS GROUPS. NDC IS GOING TO USE THEM IN 2020 ELECTION AS THEY USE CJA. IF THEY ARE GROUP LET THEM STATES THEIR OBJECTIVES AND MORE IMPORTANTLY THEIR SOURCES OF FUNDING. BEFORE THEY ARE ALLOWED TO ISSUE STATEMENT ON NATIONAL ISSUES.
