BlueLight Traders Association Apologise To Interior Minister For Rejecting His Rice Donation

The Executives of the BlueLight Traders Association (BTLA) has apologized to the Minister for the Interior and Member of Parliament for Asawase, Alhaji Mubarak Mohammed Muntaka, following their rejection of an offer of rice to assuage their plight.

The statement was on issue of disrespectful behavior by some individuals during the Minister’s visit to the Bluelight area on March 26 to present the bags of rice.

The Minister had visited the area to offer support to victims of the devastating fire outbreak at Adum, bringing food supplies to affected traders, particularly mothers and children who had lost their livelihoods.

But some of the traders at the place jeered at him and rejected the donated items, demanding alternative forms of assistance.

In a statement signed by its interim executives, the leaders condemned the actions of the individuals involved, describing the incident as unfortunate and a result of misunderstanding and miscommunication.

The Association stressed that the behavior of a few individuals did not reflect the views or values of the entire traders.

“We sincerely apologize to Hon. Muntaka for this regrettable occurrence, believing strongly that this action was a result of misunderstanding and miscommunication among some members,” the statement read.

“In distressing times like these, frustrations and emotions can run high, sometimes leading to unintended expressions of displeasure. However, such conduct does not represent the values or intentions of the Association as a whole.”

The Association was also grateful for the Minister’s empathy and commitment to supporting the reconstruction of the affected trading area.

They called for the return of the donated food supplies to ensure proper distribution among those in need.

“We earnestly hope that Hon. Muntaka will graciously accept our apology and continue collaborating with us in the spirit of goodwill, unity, and mutual respect,” the statement concluded.

The BlueLight Traders Association’s leadership appealed to the affected traders to remain calm and cooperate with authorities to find lasting solutions to their challenges.
