Visionary Buluk a non-governmental organization in collaboration with Oiltanking and the European Union have kick started a peaceful election campaign and the distribution of facemask to market women, drivers, queen mothers and media practitioners in the two Builsa Districts of the Upper East Region to help protect the constituence against the Covid-19 pandemic and ensure peace before, during and after the 2020 general polls.
In a presentation of over 1500 facemask and peaceful election stickers to the targeted groups at separate events, Mr Evans Adeba a member of Visionary Buluk called on all and soundry especially the youth not to allow themselves to be used by politicians to foment trouble as we go into the elections saying ‘’ they will use you to cause trouble, just for a chicken change and after they win power they enjoy with only their families forgetting people like you "the youth" contributed to their success’’
He added that people should not lose sight of the Covid-19 pandemic as the disease still prevails and people continue getting infected with the disease on daily basis.
He called on the constituents to protect themselves as they go out to exercise their civic responsibility in the December polls.
The queen mother of Sandema Poknaab Atebalie Azantilow was grateful to Vissionary buluk and their conterparts for the initiative and called on all especially trotro drivers and their mates to give helping hands to the elderly who come to them for their services.
She said, the lorry station is the first point of call for anyone leaving or coming into the district hence the need for drivers and their mates to protect themselves against the covid-19 pandemic.
She called on Mothers to instil discipline in their children and causion them to refrain from fomenting trouble as we go into the elections.
The team later went round the Sandema market square distributing the facemask to market women plying their trade in the market.
