In May, the youth of the Municipal shown their displeasure with the leaders following the delay in the completion of the Sports Complex.
A team led by the then Sports Minister, Hon. Isaac Asiamah cut a sod at Axim to begin the construction of an ultramodern sports complex in 2018.
The facility has since not been completed and handed over to the public for use.
This has led the Youth petition leaders to express their dissatisfaction with the situation.
They even gave the leaders an ultimatum of two months to complete the facility and handover else they will use it as it is.
However, the young and retired footballs as well as the various basic schools in the area have also added their voices for the authorities to complete the facility.
