Akufo-Addo only trying to buy time, don’t relent – NDC to Organised Labour

Osman Ayariga, the Deputy National Youth Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has thrown his full support behind Organised Labour’s planned strike action against the government’s handling of illegal mining. In a recent interview on Channel One TV’s “The Big Issue” on Saturday, Ayariga commended Organised Labour for their courage and dedication to advocating for the rights of Ghanaians.

Ayariga praised Organised Labour for taking a bold stance against the devastating effects of galamsey, which has ravaged the country’s environment, water bodies, and communities. “I would like to thank and congratulate Organised Labour for being courageous and being able to stand for the masses for the right thing to be done and for Ghanaians,” he stated.

However, Ayariga expressed concerns that President Akufo-Addo’s recent appeal to delay the strike action is merely a stalling tactic. “Currently, you will realize that all Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is seeking to do in this current Labour Union’s threat is just to buy time.
He is only interested in buying time from now to December 7,” he said. Ayariga believes the government’s intention is to delay meaningful action until after the December 7 elections.

Ayariga’s concerns are rooted in the government’s track record on addressing the issue of galamsey. Despite numerous promises and assurances, the problem persists, and Organised Labour has lost patience.
The group is pushing for drastic measures to curb the menace, including declaring a state of emergency in all mining areas, revoking certain environmental regulations, and establishing special courts to prosecute perpetrators.

In light of this, Ayariga urged Organised Labour to remain resolute in their demands, cautioning against giving in to the government’s attempts to stall progress. “So I beg and plead, please do not capitulate, please do not relent.
The country is already shut down,” he emphasized. Ayariga’s message serves as a reminder to Organised Labour to stay focused on their goals and not be swayed by the government’s tactics.

With the December 7 elections looming, the outcome of this standoff will have significant implications for the country’s future. Organised Labour’s determination to push for change has sparked hope among many Ghanaians who are frustrated with the government’s inaction.

As the situation unfolds, Ayariga’s support for Organised Labour’s strike action underscores the importance of collective action in bringing about meaningful change.
The coming weeks will be crucial in determining the effectiveness of Organised Labour’s efforts and the government’s response to their demands.

Ultimately, the success of Organised Labour’s strike action will depend on their ability to remain united and resolute in the face of government pressure. Ayariga’s message is clear: do not back down, and do not lose sight of the ultimate goal – a better future for all Ghanaians.
