Stop Using Zongo Youths For Electoral Violence - Chief Imam To Politicians

Sarikin Abdul Karim Dawuda

Prior to the 2024 general elections, the newly enstooled Chief Imam of Kwaprow Zongo Community a surb of University of Cape Coast (UCC) community, Sarikin Abdul Karim Dawuda has appealed to the leadership of political parties to exhibit leadership by example to avoid using "Zongo youths" for electoral violence. 

"The Zongo youths should not allow themselves to be used by any politician to cause trouble and dumped later," he charged. 

His call follows the identification of most Zongo communities as Flashpoints for the general elections.

The Sarkin Zongo made the call when the people and Chief of Kwaprow Community, Nana Kweasi Meansah III officially outdoored the new Zongo Chief before the Cape Coast Metropolis Chief Imams. 

Sarikin Karim Dawuda who doubles as the former Security guard of the University of Cape Coast again called on Zongo youths to shun any offer by politicians to cause mayhem during any political activity.

He, therefore, called for an end to the politicization of chieftaincy in the Zongo communities to ensure development since Zongo communities need massive development.

Sarikin Karim Dawuda appealed to the youths in the Zongo Communities to embrace education and learn hard to achieve their aims.

He expressed sadness about some Muslim parents, especially women who spend more on expensive dresses with matching veil than their children's education.
