Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mustapha Gbande says President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s congratulatory message to his party and their candidate, James Gyakye Quayson after winning the Assin North by-election is ‘needless’.
According to him, the president deliberately ignored to comment on the various attacks on national executives’ members of the NDC in his message.
Mustapha Gbande suggests that the president’s posture was ‘hypocritical’ and must publicly condemn the attacks.
“If he [President Nana Addo] doesn’t condemn the attempt by the government and the NPP to kill the National Youth Organizer of the NDC, the attempt to kill the National Communication Officer of the NDC, the attempt to kill the deputy National Communication Officer of the NDC . . . Nana Addo didn’t see that? . . .” he said in an interview with NEAT FM’s morning show, ‘Ghana Montie’.
” . . We are well prepared, we will return to them the same gesture if the need arise . . . if they shoot one NDC member we’ll also shoot an NPP member, that’s the way to go in 2024,” he added.
