Director-General of the National Lottery Authority, Sammi Awuku has urged a youth group within Akwapim North to pull down a billboard they independently sponsored and erected to honour him.

According to Awuku, the timing is not right and sends a wrong signal and breeds unnecessary tension.

“Thanks to the many enthusiastic youth who decided to design, print and erect this giant billboard in the Akwapim North Constituency. I appreciate your kind heart but definitely not a good time to do this as it sends a wrong signal and breeds unnecessary tension.” He wrote.

While appreciating the good faith behind the giant billboard gesture, the NLA boss urged the entire party in the Akwapim North Constituency to support those in authority currently. He, therefore, urged them to do the needful by pulling down the billboard.

“Let’s support those currently in authority to deliver for our collective good.
Timing is bad and optics not a pleasant one… I know out of good faith … You will do the needful before close of day,” he added.
