We will retaliate if NPP attacks persist - NDC
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has
indicated its supporters will be forced to react
if attacks on them by the New Patriotic Party
(NPP) members continue.

“The attacks on our supporters if it continues
and nothing is done by the president-elect, Nana
Akufo-Addo, and the NPP leadership...we the NDC
youth will not fold our arms while our people are
attacked violently.

"We shall reply in equal measure whenever we are
attacked by NPP supporters. A tooth for a tooth,
an arm for an arm,” NDC National Youth
Organiser, Sidi Abubakar stated at a press
conference in Accra Monday.

There are reports of widespread attacks on members
of the ruling NDC across the country following the
defeat of the party in the just ended presidential
and parliamentary elections.

The toll booths located at the Ashaiman end of the
Accra-Tema motorway were seized and taken over by
well-built men in the early hours of Monday.

The NPP party leadership has condemned the action
of the supporters describing it as “shameful”
as they called on the police to deal with the
culprits.

Few hours after Nana Akufo-Addo’s confirmation
as winner of the 2016 election, some party
faithful in Kumasi stormed some public toilets
manned by staff of the Kumasi Metropolitan
Assembly (KMA), seized the keys to the facilities,
assaulting some persons in the process.

But the NDC Youth Organiser insists that “our
supporters throughout the country are subjected to
daily and nightly violent attacks unleashed by
lawless thugs of the NPP whose leadership are
directly sponsoring and encouraging the violence
perpetuated on law-abiding Ghanaians.

"At this point, we the leadership cannot guarantee
that our people will continue to stand by without
defending themselves”.
