Following violent clashes between Ofoase Zongo and Brenase Youth in the Ofoase-Ayirebi constituency last Thursday, Member of Parliament (MP) for the area, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has visited both sides of the impasse to calm tensions and called for peace.
In an engagement with townsfolk and traditional leaders on both sides, Mr Oppong Nkrumah expressed regret about the happening which has left one person dead and four others sustaining varying degrees of injury.
“First of all, we are one people. Whether you are from Brenase or from Ofoase, we are one people living in harmony. That is why we shouldn’t allow things like this to divide us. Ofoasi-Ayirebi is noted for being one of the peaceful areas in the region.
“Over the years, we have experienced significant developments which have made our constituency the envy of many. So we need to come together as one people and not engage in acts that further divide us,” the MP said.
