Odeneho Kwaku Appiah urges Ghanaians to unite beyond politics to confront the growing environmental threat posed by galamsey.
- COKA says the fight against galamsey is a national responsibility.
- He warns illegal mining continues to destroy farmlands and water bodies.
- Aspiring NPP chairman calls for unity, policy action and national prayer.
Aspiring Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Odeneho Kwaku Appiah, popularly known as COKA, has called on Ghanaians to rise above political divisions and unite in the fight against illegal mining, commonly known as galamsey.
Speaking during a visit to Heaven Seekers Ministry on Sunday, May 10, where he joined congregants to celebrate Mother’s Day, Mr Appiah described galamsey as a national crisis that requires immediate and collective action.
According to him, the environmental destruction caused by illegal mining should not be viewed through a political lens, as its effects threaten the future of the entire country.
“The fight against galamsey is not about the NPP or the NDC. It is about Ghana,” he stated.
Mr Appiah warned that illegal mining activities continue to destroy farmlands, pollute water bodies and endanger communities across the country.
He stressed that tackling the challenge would require not only effective policies and enforcement but also national unity and spiritual support through prayer.
“This fight demands divine intervention,” he added while encouraging citizens to support efforts aimed at safeguarding Ghana’s natural resources.
Touching on his ambition to become Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP, COKA pledged to serve the party with humility, dedication and integrity if elected by delegates.
