The group, known as NDC Asanka Crackers said the President has failed to show them some appreciation for their loyalty to the NDC.
“We are not happy with the way the President is handling us in Ashaiman. He has decided to deliberately avoid visiting the Ashaiman constituency because he thinks it is a safe haven for him; but if care is not taken, we shall show him that the people of Ashaiman cannot be taken for granted.

“How can we be voting for the NDC every election year and the President instead of appreciating us by at least paying us a visit and sharing his plans with us; is playing games with us. We shall show him where the power lies by voting against him or at best stay home without stepping out in our numbers to vote,” they said.
“Our NPP brothers are always teasing us that we are being used and dumped by the NDC, and this attitude by the President only confirms what our NPP brothers are saying, and we feel it is highly disrespectful to the over eighty thousand NDC supporters in Ashaiman,” they added.

According to them, Nana Akufo-Addo of the NPP has visited the constituency twice and this is likely to favour the party in the upcoming elections.
They argued that “If he [John Mahama] fails to come, it will affect our quest to give the party 85 thousand votes and he [President] should not blame us when this happens.”

However, the Deputy constituency campaign coordinator for the NDC, Godwin Tsimese, has urged the aggrieved members to remain calm as the matter is being addressed.
“Inasmuch as we share in the frustration and disappointment of our party faithfuls over the President’s inability to visit us due to his tight schedule, we still believe there is the need for our party people to exercise restraint in their dealings.
“It is early days yet for our people to worry, we are working out with the President’s protocol team to work something out to ensure that smiles are put on the faces of our people,” he added.
