Leadership of the Abossey Okai Spares Dealers’ Association has issued a strong warning to politicians not to use their business premises as a political arena.
According to the Association, the premises is purely a business centre and not a place to be toggled by politicians for their political gains.
The Association explains politicians have been coming to the premises without prior notice to seek permission from the leadership. This, they say is turning the grounds into a political arena rather than the business centre they all know.
A statement signed by its Public Relations Officer, Takyi Addo, Wednesday, June 19, 2024, he says the Association will not allow any political party to monopolise the area for its political activities.

Abossey Okai Spares Dealers Association Issues Warning to Politicians
The Abossey Okai Spares Dealers Association wishes to inform all political actors that the Abossey Okai area is primarily a business center and not a political arena.
In recent times, it has come to our notice that politicians have been using the area as a campaign ground without prior notice to the Association.
As we approach the December 7 elections, the leadership of the Association wants to clearly state that such behaviours will no longer be tolerated.
We urge all political parties and their representatives to seek permission from the Association before engaging with our members or using the area for political activities.
This protocol is necessary to ensure that the leadership is informed and prepared to manage any issues that may arise.
The Abossey Okai area is not to be monopolized by any political party.
We emphasize that this is a business center, and it is crucial to maintain its primary purpose.
We are therefore calling on all political actors to respect this directive and do the needful by seeking permission from the leadership.
This statement serves as a clear message: Abossey Okai is a business center, not a political arena. We expect all political parties to adhere to this guidelines.
Thank you.
Signed,
Takyi Addo
