Gizo to consider standing for NDC in 2004

The NDC Member of Parliament for Shai Osudoku Constituency, Hon Mike Afedzi Gizo has declared that, he will make it known at the appropriate time, whether to contest on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress or not, in the 2004 Parliamentary Elections.

Speaking on a local fm station on Friday, Hon Gizo said he was still considering this, in the wake of criticisms, attacks and physical assaults being meted out to him, by his party colleagues as a result of a government appointment offered him.

Hon Gizo said it is sad for him to be treated as such for accepting an offer from the government because he did that with the intention of serving his country.

He intimated that, it was similar incidents that led to the resignation of Mr Kofi Asante, as an MP of Amenfi-West. Gizo emphasised however that, he will not quit the NDC as a party, but stated that, it is time people changed from practising politics of division in the country.
