Lawmaker for Nsawam Adoagyiri, Frank Annoh-Dompreh has called out former president John Dramani Mahama for his ‘do or die comment in relation to the 2024 polls.
Mr Mahama during his thank you tour yesterday said President Akufo-Addo has enrolled thugs and hooligans into the security services ensuring elections in the country are forced to go his way.
The 2020 NDC Presidential candidate said these hooligans shot and killed people in the 2020 peoples and NDC will not sit and watch that repeat in 2024.
“This current president has made elections life-and-death for him, he uses his delta forces and invisible forces enrolled in the security agencies. ou see some Military and police officers and ask whether these are indeed officers. They wear earrings and all sort of things and you can’t tell whether this is a police officer or a soldier
“We know they have infiltrated the security with some of their people. Look at what happened at Techiman South the ways they shot at the crowd, it was intended to kill people. We hope that the next elections we won’t see scenes like that again.
“We have learnt our lessons from happenings during the 2020 polls. The 2024 elections will be won or lost at the polling station. It will be do-or-die at the polling stations. The right thing must be done during the polls.
“We will win the elections at the polling station and won’t wait for collation centre results nor petition the Supreme Court if aggrieved,” he said.
However, Frank Annor Dompreh believes the former president’s comment was irresponsible considering his stature in Ghanaian and African politics.
He called on him to apologise to the Ghanaian people.
“It beats understanding how Mr. Mahama’s “Thank You Tour” has degenerated into a platform for reckless commentary. How does a former President & former ECOWAS chair threaten electoral violence while belittling the ability of laws and the Supreme Courts to deliver justice?
Mr. Mahama must own up to his irresponsible statements and offer an unqualified apology to the people of Ghana: the people he hopes to lead,” he said.
