Deputy General Secretary of the National
Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Boamah Otukonor, has started beating war drums
ahead of the 2020 elections.
He stated that members of
the NDC can fight and unleash violence better than the ruling New Patriotic
Party (NPP).
Peter Otukonor therefore warned the NPP to
prepare effectively and face the NDC during the 2020 elections.
Former President John Dramani Mahama, who recently
issued similar threat, was reprimanded by a section of Ghanaians.
But Mr Otukonor, who was very angry, confirmed
what Mr. Mahama said some few days ago.
“The NPP should be ready, yeah they should
prepare,” the NDC executive gave the stern warning in an interview with Nhyira
Fm in Kumasi on Monday.
“We have realized that the police, who are
paid with the taxpayers’ money, cannot protect us so we shall prepare”.
According to him, the NPP sent criminals to
cause mayhem during the by-election in the Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency.
Mr. Otukonor said the NPP showed that they
would adopt violence in 2020 polls during the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election.
“The NDC can fight better than the NPP and they
(NPP) are aware of this fact. But we did not fight at Ayawaso for the sake of
peace.
“But the NPP should know that we shall
prepare well for them. Self defence is permitted even in the Bible, and that is
what we shall do.
“If you try to kill a cat and you fail, you
should know what that cat will do to you,” Mr. Otukonor declared.
He condemned the unprovoked attacks on the NDC members in the Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency, stressing that next time the NDC would prepare effectively.
