The Deputy National Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Osman Ayariga, has said that Ghanaian youth will not stand idly by while the Akufo-Addo government attempts to seize control of all state assets.

Ayariga explained that the youth of Ghana are prepared to vigorously oppose any such move, emphasizing that it goes against their collective interests.

In his assessment, the NDC executive criticized the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo administration for promising to protect the state's finances but instead, they are plundering the treasury and all its contents.

During a media interview, Osman Ayariga called on all citizens to unite in solidarity for the greater good of the nation, urging them to stand firm against actions detrimental to Ghana's welfare.

"We will not allow people who promised to protect the purse to steal the purse and all its contents in it. Where does this end? This Akufo-Addo government wants to take over everything from this country and amass it for themselves, and the youth of the country will not sit down and allow it to continue," he stated, myjoyonline.com reports.

He was addressing the controversy surrounding the sale of certain hotels owned by SSNIT to Rock City Hotel, a company owned by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Dr. Bryan Acheampong.

The matter gained prominence after the recent protest led by Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, Member of Parliament for North Tongu, called the 'Hands Off Our Hotels' Demo.
