PRESIDENT MAHAMA, CALL YOUR SUPPORTERS
TO ORDER
Very disturbing, violent events occurred at the vicinity of
the Supreme Court today. Ordinary Ghanaians walking along the
High Street, in front of the Supreme Court building, were
attacked by an organised group of supporters of the National
Democratic Congress with weapons, including canes,
deliberately supplied to them.
Among the victims of today’s senseless attacks were hawkers, a
pregnant woman, a teenage girl walking on the other side of
the road who just happened to be wearing an NPP scarf. If it
was not for the intervention of some of the police officers,
the poor teenager would have been beaten to pulp. Also
attacked was Nana Kofi Damoah, a young NPP activist, who was
assaulted with sticks by a group of NDC supporters right at
the entrance of the Court. It is obvious that this was a
planned and orchestrated attack by NDC on innocent people
perceived to be supporters or sympathisers of the New
Patriotic Party.
These unprovoked acts of violence and intimidation are
provocative and extremely disturbing. Nothing was said or done
by those innocent Ghanaians to have fallen victim to such
violence.
We wish to send a strong message to President Mahama and the
entire leadership of the NDC that what happened today is
totally unacceptable. They should, therefore, call their
supporters to order and bring to book those among their fold
who are determined to use such NDC supporters as instruments
of political violence.
The NPP is determined to play by the rules and so should the
President and his party. We, for our part, have been able to
keep our supporters calm and will continue to urge them to
remain calm. We thank the security agencies for saving the
situation and urge them to continue to enforce their mandate
of protecting lives and property.
