The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP)
Ashanti Regional Organiser Stephen Amoah popularly called ‘Sticker’ has accused
members of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) of deliberately
planting the explosive objects around the Ashanti Regional Deputy Minister Andy
Osei Okrah’s house.He alleges that members of the NDC planted them
[explosive objects] within the vicinity just to scare electorate ahead of
December polls.
The ‘bomb' was found close to the deputy minister’s house
on Tuesday prompting his immediate family to relocate even after it had been
detonated.
Mr Amoah claimed the NDC members have plans of preventing
indigenes in the region from moving out of their houses to visit polling
stations to cast their votes within the stronghold of the NPP.
Speaking
with host of Abusua Nkommo on Abusua FM Kwame Adinkrah, he said members of NDC
want to deceive the public into believing that the NPP plotted the
bomb.
Sticker added that the NDC wants to create fear and panic in the
region, adding that nobody has bad intentions to harm the respected
politician.
He stressed that supporters of NDC are shaking in their pants
fearing that they will lose miserably in the region and the general
elections.
‘It’s not true somebody planted the bomb, God is watching all
of us, he sees all our movements. I wouldn’t say all NDC members are bad nuts,
there are good ones but if you are a Ghanaian who have purposed your mind to
create fear and panic, it will not work. If anybody or NPP has evil motive which
is politically induced against firebrand NDC members in the region, Andy Okrah
will not be part of that list, he is a fine man.
If anybody has any bad
plan, names like Joseph Yamin, Obimpeh, John Ackon regional minister will come
in mind. Andy is not a powerful politician. Why would he plot bomb there? It’s a
matter of NDC members planning to scare people in Kumasi from voting during
December elections,’ he claimed.
Sticker challenged the bomb experts in
the national security and other security establishments to provide footages
captured on the CCTV cameras.
‘Places in Kumasi which are not term
priority areas have CCTV cameras, they have sophisticated CCTV cameras around
the national security data center where the bomb was found. They should tell us
the names of the culprits. They should stop engaging in dubious activities. How
long can you continue to be in government, where is Osagyefuo Dr Kwame Nkrumah
now?. Their moves are all about propaganda,’ he said.
He encouraged
Ghanaians not to panic for the elections will not be rigged, calling on the
electorate to vote massively for Nana Addo and the NPP. |
