The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has alleged that
the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) intends using some thugs who will
be dressed in military and police uniforms to create confusion at polling
stations in the Ashanti Region on December 7.The NPP alleged that the
NDC had assured the thugs that the needs of their families would be met should
they (thugs) lose their lives on the election day.
According to the NPP,
the military and police imposters have been given special vehicles to move
freely, huge amount of money and offensive weapons to disrupt the polls in the
Ashanti Region, which is the NPP’s stronghold.
The retired officers and
men of the various security services of the NPP, led by Lt. Col. A. Serebuor
(Rtd,) sternly warned the NDC thugs to behave on the election day to help
preserve their lives, stressing that “we, in the NPP, are ready for
them.”
According to him, President Mahama would be blamed for any
bloodbath in the Ashanti region during the elections.
He admonished
professional police and military personnel to be alert and stop the imposters
from tarnishing their image.
“We are calling on the professional soldiers
and police and other sister security agencies not to allow ragamuffins to
tarnish their hard-earned reputation.”
Addressing the media in Kumasi on
Tuesday, he said that the NDC had stockpiled weapons in some houses in Kumasi
belonging to NDC kingpins with the sole aim of using them to cause mayhem in the
region.
Lt. Col Serebuor claimed National Security Coordinator, Yaw
Donkor was aware of the fiendish plans of the NDC to destabilize the Ashanti
Region on December 7.
He noted that the NDC administration had recently
installed CCTV cameras and jammers all over Kumasi which would be used to block
communications so as to enable the Electoral Commission (EC) to rig the polls
for the NDC, saying “nothing can stop the wind of change which is
blowing.”
Some filling stations belonging to NPP capos and some markets
in the Ashanti region would be set on fire by the NDC’s hired arsonists in the
coming days just to distract the NPP from the elections so that the NDC could
rig the polls, according to him.
He claimed some names of security
personnel in the region had been deleted from the special voting list, adding
that the affected officers strangely had also been deployed outside their
stations on the day of election just to make sure that they don’t exercise their
franchise on December 7.
Lt. Col Serebuor debunked reports that the NPP
would sack all recruits at the various training centers, stressing that the NPP
administration, led by Nana Akufo-Addo, would rather introduce policies to boost
the welfare of personnel of the various security agencies.
He entreated
the recruits, who are still undergoing training and Ghanaians in general, to
vote massively for Nana Akufo-Addo and the NPP to improve the
economy. |
