The Majority chief whip, Frank Annoh Dompreh has taken a swipe at the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and urged them to put their supporters to check after winning the Presidential and Parliamentary elections decisively.
He expressed surprise that their victory has rather caused their supporters to be attacking official appointees of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).
According to him it is high time NDC realised that the election was a democratic process and not a revolution and it should not be the case that the NPP will be at the beck and call of the NDC.
Mr. Annoh Dompreh further added that he hopes the NDC will show political maturity and listen to their call as the Majority in Parliament and advise their base to desist from attacking NPP appointees.
He was speaking in response to questions at a press conference organized by the Majority on Saturday, January 4,2025′ where they raised the issues of acts of violence attacks on members of the ruling government.
“If they do not restrain themselves, we will do all that is permissible within law; we as responsible citizens will do everything that is permissible within our laws to protect ourselves and citizens of this country”, he added.
He further refuted allegations by journalists that in 2016 NPP supporters did similar things when they won power and further called on the journalists making such allegations of similar attacks to provide evidence of similar things that happened at that time.
According to him, “Even at centers, hooligans of the NDC are attacking and they claim they do not know anything about that, they were chanting eye zu eye za and they were responding to them. Today, they are saying they do not know them. Before, they take over we have heard of their plans and all they are doing, he stated.
“We are waiting and we hope the president-elect John Dramani Mahama will show leadership; if they do not show leadership we will advise ourselves; we will resort to any means legally permissible within the four walls of our laws, so that we are not taken for granted.
Look nobody is going to threaten any one in this country ooo, you have given thousands and one promises, to reduce petrol prices, now the reality has dawn on them and now they are shifting the goal polls”, he said.
