Energy Minister John Abdulai Jinapor has urged aggrieved members of the National Democratic Congress to be patient.

He acknowledges that they need jobs and contracts to help build themselves; however, violence, he says, is not the way to make their case.

To him, the approach used to make demands of the government must be measured in order not to take the party back to opposition.

John Jinapor was speaking during the National Chairman of the NDC’s tour of the Savannah Region when he made this known.

“I will plead with you to be patient with the government. We are barely two years in office. We know you need jobs, we know you need businesses,” he said.

“If we are sharing while in office, it is just a matter of time, everybody will get some, but when we use violence, and it lands the party in opposition, it will be our loss,” he added.
