Speak Up, Your Inaction Means You’re Fine With The Insecurity In NDC Stronghold – NDC To Akufo-Addo

The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has bemoaned the lack of action by the President Akufo-Addo and the National Security Council amid the Western Togoland Secessionists attacks in Volta Region.

In a statement signed by its National Chairman, Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, the NDC questioned the President’s long silence and guessed if it could be deliberate because the Volta is an NDC stronghold and an instability there could favour the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).

“While property has been destroyed and lives lost, the people of Ghana are yet to hear a comment by the President condemning these acts of treason and lawlessness, let alone consoling the victims, and taking urgent action as appropriate to restore law and order. This is what Ghanaians expect from their President who incidentally is the Chairman of ECOWAS,” the statement said.

“We do not want to believe that the inaction of the President and National Security Council is deliberate and calculated at achieving a sinister political motive including the suppressing of votes in the NDC strongholds. This is already sufficient apprehension caused by these events that suggest complicity of officialdom to cause fear and human insecurity in that part of the country as a justification for an intimidating security presence the type of which was witnessed during the voter registration exercise only a few months ago,” it added.
