The Chief of Staff is asking the youth, especially students in tertiary institutions to guard against being lured into electoral violence this year.

Julius Debrah warned victims of political violence would not only be neglected by their pay masters but also forced to pay heavy prices for their actions that affect their future.

Mr. Debrah wants the youth to adopt modern ways of political discourse, devoid of insults and attacks on ones political opponents.

He has been addressing students at the Komfo Anokye Nursing Training School in Kumasi to wrap up activities on day one of his 4-day campaign tour of the Ashanti region on Wednesday evening.

“Politics is not about insults, neither is politics about who can fight because as I stand before you as the Chief of Staff to the President, when I woke up in the morning I never go to his house to say Mr. President because I am your Chief of Staff  I want to have breakfast with you. If you also go to follow any politician, who directs you to go and misbehave, who directs you to go and  fight someone; and you get hurt, trust you me, the best they can do for you is just to come and visit you while you are on your hospital bed.”

His comments comes  after   a group of students at the Komfo Anokye Nursing Training School dressed in NPP paraphernalia nearly disrupted a scheduled meeting between the Chief of Staff  and the students on campus.

Members of the anti-NDC group shouted on top of their voices from nearby students’ hostel as the Ashanti Regional Minister, Alexander Ackon and Chief of Staff addressed the students.

He appealed to the youth never to engage in politics of insults which he says belong to the past.

“I am therefore using this occasion to advise and encourage everybody. We are in the 21st century, life has moved on. When time changes, please be encouraged and change.”

That notwithstanding, Mr. Debrah has asked NDC supporters on campus not to retaliate the action of their colleagues from the NPP.

“Let me advise all the NDC supporters on this campus that anytime the New Patriotic Party comes here to organize a program, please never misbehave towards them”

Meanwhile, Mr. Debrah is expected host a breakfast meeting to interact with business community Thursday morning, address rallies in Agona, Nsuta and Asante Mampong.
