Ashanti NDC members protest return of former DVLA regional director

Members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ashanti Region on Thursday staged a protest at the regional office of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) over the return of former Regional Director, Amos Abeka.
Clad in red armbands and chanting slogans, the aggrieved party members expressed their displeasure at what they described as an "unjustified" reinstatement.
According to them, a farewell party had already been held for Mr. Abeka, signalling the end of his tenure in the region.
The protesters said they were surprised to learn that Mr. Abeka had been granted an additional one-year extension in his role, despite the appointment of a new substantive director, his former deputy.
Addressing the media at the DVLA premises, Regional Research Director of the NDC, Hopeson Keku, said the party would not allow Mr. Abeka’s return to stand.
He described the situation as “a clear disregard for procedure and fairness.”
“We will not sit by and watch this happen. If the authorities fail to act, we’ll return on Monday to ensure that the newly appointed director assumes his rightful position,” Keku declared.
The group vowed to resist what they termed an attempt to impose Mr. Abeka on the region, hinting at further action if their concerns are not addressed.
