\"AbdulThe editor-in-chief of the New Crusading Guide newspaper, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako has said the leadership of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) is to blame for lawless acts by some aggrieved Andani youth who burnt some party offices in Tamale on Tuesday. <\/p>\n

The youth were angered by the ruling of an Accra Fast Track High Court which acquitted and discharged 14 Abudus who were standing trial for the murder of Ya Na Yakubu Andani II, Overlord of Dagbon.<\/p>\n

They blamed the government for reneging on its promise to ensure justice prevailed.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Peace FM\u2019s Kokrokoo Wednesday, Malik Baako who was contributing to discussions on the programme, said the NDC threw caution to the wind and went ahead to politicize the death of the Ya Na and his elders, making it a manifesto promise.<\/p>\n

The NDC will \u201cset up a new and truly non-partisan, professionally competent and independent presidential commission to reopen investigations into the murder of Ya Na Yakubu Andani II and his elders in March 2002\u201d, Mr Baako quoted from the party\u2019s 2008 manifesto.<\/p>\n

He noted that in their quest to maximize their electoral strength in the northern regions, the leadership of the NDC aggregated sentiments, emotions and anger, thereby miseducating their rank and file.<\/p>\n

Even ex-president Jerry John Rawlings said before an international gathering that there is video recording of the killing of Ya Na which was with the Ya Na\u2019s nephew in the United Kingdom, Kweku Baako said, asking why Mr Rawlings did not make the video available in court.<\/p>\n

He insisted the NDC had consistently failed on major campaign promises, a phenomenon he thinks has soiled the credibility and integrity of the party.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can say anything and everything at a political rally but in the court of law it\u2019s a very different ball game,\u201d Baako concluded.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Mr Allotey Jacobs, Central Regional Communications Director of the NDC, has called on the Andani youth to be calm, assuring them that the government would do everything to ensure justice.<\/p>\n

He stated that the blood of the Ya Na was crying for justice and that God inhis own time would expose the killers and appealed to the youth to desist from vandalizing party property.<\/p>\n

Parliamentary aspirant Ursula Owusu also appealed to the feuding factions not to allow themselves to be used by any political party but to give peace and reconciliation a chance, bearing in mind the future of their children.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere has to be an end to litigation, there has to be an end to conflict,\u201d Ursula added.<\/p>\n
