Voter Registration Violence – Akufo Addo Is The Greatest Pretender – Muntaka Jabs

Member of Parliament for Asawase, Mohammed Muntaka Munbarak has slammed President Akufo Addo for claiming he had no knowledge about the violence that characterized the voters registration exercise.

The MP described the president as a pretender who is only feigning ignorance about the violent incidents.

There have been reports of military intimidation at some registration centres and regions like Volta where the military questioned people about their nationalities. Other places like Bono region also recorded some violence that claimed the life of one young man.

However, President Akufo Addo speaking to Islamic worshipers in Kumasi Central Mosque on Friday July 31, 2020 said, “one thing that excites me most is that the registration exercise in Ashanti region and other areas has been very peaceful. I haven’t heard of any person being denied the opportunity to register on grounds that you are not this or what so go, we can’t register you every person has the right to go and register.”

He added, “what I have heard is that the exercise is going on smoothly in Asawase and Asokore-Mampong. We thank God for that. That is the most important thing to us all to leave in unity and peace.”

In reaction Muntaka Mubarak admonished the President calling him a pretender. He quizzed how it was not possible for him to hear about the violence after all the several media reports.

He said, “I’ve now come to convince myself that our president is the greatest pretender because most of these things he’s very much aware… You tell me all these videos, even his national security people are not telling him?”

“He knew everything, he’s pretending that he didn’t know that there was military in the Volta region, military people in Banda, that’s a lie. With all the confusion that it circulated, you can’t tell me that you don’t know…you see military people in queue asking people questions about their nationality. What has become of our country,” Muntaka told GhanaWeb.
