The Savannah Regional Executive Committee of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has called on the police to arrest and prosecute perpetrators engaging in the destruction of party properties in the region.
“The Regional Executive Committee of the National Democratic Congress of the Savannah Region’s attention has been drawn to the unlawful acts of a group of people alleged to be NDC party supporters who were going round the township of Bole, destroying party signboards on the allegation that their favourites have not been appointed ministers of state,” parts of the statement signed by the Savannah Regional Secretary of the NDC, Salisu Be-Awuribe, read.
The NDC distanced itself from the acts and condemn in no uncertain terms such barbaric and anti-party conduc. It also indicated that it shall subject any party member who engages in such unlawful acts to the requisite party disciplinary procedures.
Mr. Be-Awuribe stated that the party has directed the Police Command to fearlessly investigate and prosecute all persons directly or remotely connected to the unlawful acts to serve as a deterrent for others who may be contemplating or harbouring such dastardly acts in future.
“We entreat all party faithfulls and the people of Ghana to remain calm and to trust in the ability of the competent President Mahama to select a team of persons he believes are better placed to help him reset the Country,” he noted.
It will be recalled that the some supporters of the NDC accused President John Dramani Mahama of neglecting the Bole/Bamboi Member of Parliament, Alhaji Yusif Sulemana, in his ministerial appointments.
In response to what they perceive as a snub, party supporters gathered outside President Mahama’s father’s residence in Bole, located in the Savannah Region, where they burnt car tires to express their dissatisfaction about the situation.
The supporters argue that Alhaji Yusif Sulemana has worked tirelessly to ensure President Mahama’s significant victory in the constituency and therefore deserves recognition and reward for his efforts.
DGN Online understands that the Bole Municipal Police Command has deployed personnel to key locations in the area to prevent any potential disturbances.
Meanwhile, the Bole/Bamboi Member of Parliament, Alhaji Yusif Sulemana, has urged the NDC supporters to remain calm in a statement.
“I kindly appeal to the youth and people of Bole/Bamboi to stay calm and refrain from any form of agitation in my name. As a loyal and devoted brother of H.E John Dramani Mahama, and a firm believer in his wisdom and experience, I wholeheartedly support his decisions,” he said.
