The NPP wishes to condemn, in the strongest
possible terms, the latest provocation by the NDC in attacking the home of our
Flagbearer, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.Early this morning, a large
crowd of NDC supporters led by one Ako Gunn, one of the Muntie 3 who was
recently pardoned by President Mahama after being jailed for threatening to rape
and murder the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, massed up in front of the
home of Nana Addo, and violently attacked the security detail outside the
presidential candidate's house. We thank the police for their speedy and
invaluable intervention.
The motive for this act is not in doubt. The NDC
was clearly there for one reason and one reason only: to assault NPP supporters
and create an environment of fear within Ghana 24 days to the
election.
This action was premeditated and unquestionably violent.
Amassing NDC supporters outside of the NPP Flagbearer’s house is part of a broad
range of calculated, violent, and provocative acts designed to bait the NPP into
responding in similar fashion.
Such behavior is a threat to the integrity
of our democracy and must not be tolerated.
We call on the National Peace
Council, the Christian Council, and all Civil Society Organisations to let their
voices be heard in condemnation of this violent act.
