The embattled General Secretary of the People’s National Convention (PNC), Janet Nabla is nursing her wounds at a health facility following alleged assault visited on her at the just ended National Democratic Congres (NDC) congress held at the Accra Sports Stadium on Saturday.
She was allegedly assaulted at the 10th national delegates congress of the main opposition political party when she led a delegation from the PNC to solidarise with the NDC.
A statement issued by Samuel Ayesu, Communications Secretary and Muniru S. Mohammed, Acting Youth Organiser of the PNC on the development said “The PNC received a letter from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) dated 7th December, 2022 to be present and to solidarise with the party at its 10th National Delegates Congress.
“The PNC sent a delegation led by the able General Secretary, Madam Janet Nabla, only to be assaulted physically at the full glare of some NDC party officials who posed unconcerned.”
Giving reason for the unlawful act, the statemmt claims the NDC thugs said, Madam Janet Nabla has not been joining them in their demonstrations and also she has been insulting their party.
“This shameful assault of the General Secretary has been reported to the Ghana Police at the Ministry’s Police Station and she has since been taken to the hospital.
“The NDC Congress officials told the General Secretary that, they have appointed people from the PNC who have been supporting them in their demonstrations to solidarise with them.
“The PNC is not an annex of NDC and so they can not bring their supporters to pose as PNC members in their congress to do their bidding for them.
“The NDC overthrew the founder of our party’s government, Dr Hila Limann in December 1981, a legitimately elected government and today being in another December they have continued their treacherous actions against its General Secretary.”
PNC wondered how Ghanaians would be safe when NDC form government, saying that “This is the so called political party that wants the people of Ghana to handover the mantle of governance to them come 2024. Would Ghanaians be safe under this NDC?
“The PNC has resolved to boycott all programmes that will be organised by the National Democratic Congress, meanwhile our legal team are preparing an appropriate action to be taken for the uncouth behavior that was exhibited by NDC officials against the PNC and the person of the General Secretary, Madam Janet Nabla.”
