EC, Police Resist NDC Provocations
John Mahama and his NDC have a target for today’s assault on Electoral Commission (EC) offices nationwide. The protest has one objective; to disrupt the electoral process and make the country ungovernable.
By inciting the NDC supporters to embark on street protests, the agenda is also to provoke the police to abandon its objective of safeguarding law and order to the extreme application of the law to protect the lives of innocent citizens, property and especially national installations such as EC offices, electricity substations, District Road Improvement Project (DRIP) equipment and high tension poles across the country.
To this end, we urge National Security under the leadership of affable Albert Kan-Dapaah to put all the National Security apparatus on red alert. However, we equally urge National Security, the EC and the police to resist any provocations from NDC hoodlums but to keep an eye on the peace, stability, unity and security of the country.
We support the right of all citizens to take to the streets in protest against any action they consider to be a threat to their democratic rights, but they must keep within lawful bounds, otherwise they risk the full force of state power to keep the deviants within the narrow path of law and order.
And that is why all stakeholders, especially the NDC and the police must ensure that not a single drop of blood is spilled in defence of law and order as well as democratic rights. It is worthless. Furthermore, the organisers in today’s demonstrations, notably John Mahama and Asiedu Nketia must take steps to ensure the safety of all demonstrators, while their children lavish in safety and comfort in Dubai, Canada and other safe havens.
The NDC flagbearer, is in a flight to catch up with Usain Bolt to avoid the true verdict of the people after the presidential debate. Until the last ballot is cast on December 7, we shall not abdicate our constitutional obligation to inform, educate, entertain and to a large extent mobilise the people to vote for our future prosperity and not those who have no idea how to “reset” Ghana into the days of dumsor and planting trees in the dry season.
We should be wary of the NDC on the campaign platform as its leaders engage in very contradictory rhetoric. Today, they are calling for the forensic audit of the provisional voters’ register but listen to them in the past, especially when the NDC was in power. In 2015, the party’s National Chairman then, Ofosu Ampofo, the Church of Pentecost elder looked all of us in the face and said, “NPP’s call for audit of the voters’ register is absurd,” while at the same time the party’s General Secretary, Asiedu Nketia said, “if you believe the EC has lost credibility, you have a problem,” and their “generalismo” John Mahama emphatically dismissed claims of election rigging thus, “EC can’t rig elections, leave it to do its work in peace.”
Some of our cherished readers do not understand our persistent criticism of John Mahama. In fact, we have absolutely no ill-will against this nice gentleman except that we detest his narratives about our country which shows that he is a walking contradiction. If that were not the case, how can a former President incite his supporters to violence because some parliamentary candidates of the NPP have decorated the DRIP equipment with their pictures whereas some few years ago, John Mahama spent the tax payers’ money to splash his pictures on Metro Mass buses?
Again, he and his crony, owner of Rlg, produced laptops for schools and journalists with his picture on the screen but no opposition then invited his supporters to take the law into their hands.
John Mahama, as an alternative to “reset” the country, is scary and must be resisted like a venomous viper.
