National Communication Director for Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG) Mr. Samuel Owusu Afriyie has chided the utterances of some leading members of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) against security officers, labeling it ‘careless;.
In a press release, Mr Owusu Afriyie described the outbursts of National Communications officer of the NDC, Sammy Gyamfi and their Director of Elections, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah as unfortunate and needless which will not help the democracy of the country.
“The Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG) by this release unequivocally condemns the careless utterances by some leading members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in recent times. Such outburst are needless and inimical to our fragile peace and ‘infant democracy’.It is very unfortunate that Mr. Sammy Gyamfi (National Communication Officer) and Mr. Elvis Afriyie Ankrah (Director of Elections) of the NDC publicly issued threats to security officers of the state because they are dissatisfied with their professional conducts”, he stated.
He insisted that such statements will make sure power doesn’t change hands as those threatened security officers will make sure you don’t come to power.
“If indeed the adage that tells us that “to be fore warned, is to be fore armed” holds true, then do you think that those officers who have been threatened would allow power to change hands as per Sammy Gyamfi’s anticipation? Discretion has always been the better side of valor, therefore diplomacy and tact must be adhered to in situations like this.”
Sammy Gyamfi had threatened to deal with and purge out all security officers who have allowed themselves to be used by the governing New Patriotic Party to beat up NDC members.
