The Minority Chief Whip, Kwame Governs Agbodza has warned the Minister of Food and Agriculture, Bryan Acheampong and the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) against any actions that will threaten the peace of the country.
According to the Adaklu MP, any attempt by the NPP to destabilize the country or use force to influence the election outcome would be met with strong resistance.
Speaking during a campaign visit by the NDC flag bearer, John Dramani Mahama to Adaklu, Mr Agbodza referred to Bryan Acheampong’s recent defeat in his bid to purchase four hotels owned by the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) as a sign that he would also fail in any attempt to rig the elections.
“I’m talking about my colleague in Parliament, Bryan Acheampong, threatening that the sea will burn because they are going to try to rig the election. I have a simple message for you my colleague, as you have been defeated in the hostile overtake of the hotels belonging to SSNIT, you will surely fail.”
“If you attempt to use force to do anything, this is Adaklu, we can tell you, you dare not try anything on the life of any Ghanaian. You cannot threaten Ghanaians, your party will lose and you will be the first to run away. This is what we have said in Adaklu, the God we serve can tell you that you dare not,” he sternly warned.
Mr Agbodza also accused the NPP of planning to use violence to rig the upcoming elections, as they allegedly did in 2020.
“President Mahama will win and President Akufo-Addo will have to hand over to him and your party has no business trying to hold on to power so anybody in government, like we have said it before, Your Excellency, that they are planning to do what they did in 2020, by orchestrating the murder of 8 Ghanaians during an election which has never happened before, I am saying, if you are a security personnel or those being trained by my colleague Bryan Acheampong and co, at least, the boundaries of Volta Region, before you cross with that mindset, be prepared that, in self-defence, you might become the victim. This is a promise, it is not a threat,” he added.
This comes after Bryan Acheampong’s recent remarks at a campaign rally in Nsawam, where he declared that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) would not lose the upcoming elections.
“I have said that whether the NDC likes it or not, they will never win the 2024 elections. The NPP exists to win elections. So, we would do whatever it takes to win the elections. We are a political party that has pastors, imams, and traditionalists, so whatever means we would take to win the elections, we would do so. ‘Burn the sea if you don’t understand, we’ll win and continue with our good works,” Bryan Acheampong said.
