A political science lecturer at the University of Ghana, Dr. Isaac Owusu Mensah says vice president Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur should cease creating political tension in the country and rather preach peace ahead of the 2016 general elections.
The vice president addressing party supporters in the Asawaase constituency in the Ashanti region suggested some opponents of the National Democratic Congress are plotting to rig this year’s presidential and parliamentary elections on December 7.
In a statement that has generated a lot of controversy, the vice president urged the NDC supporters and sympathizers to be extra vigilant on the day of the elections in order to safeguard the interest of the party.
Speaking to 3FM, Dr. Owusu Mensah said if the vice president has any hint of anyone planning to rig the elections, he should make it public.
“In as much as he is an NDC, he is first the vice president of Ghana and I think that we have all been preaching about peace and all the political leaders especially his excellency the president, the vice and the third in command as far as the state apparatus is concerned are supposed to preach the message of peace”.
According to Dr. Mensah, the vice president’s comments simply means there will be a lot of tension leading to the polls which he deems will be a worry and a very serious concern to all Ghanaians.
“I know issues are raised on political platforms but sensitive issues like rigging the election is very dangerous and it also gives the impression that there is something that the vice president knows that we Ghanaians do not know so it’s important that he puts it in the public domain so the security services can take a look at it”.

If you want the most s2pid person without any education, it is your life is a waste and nothing to talk about. Do you even have kindergarten certificate?
It was ur father who decorated him with that title, when are u going to learn on how to comment with sense? must u always be an irresponsible person even a fellow NDC member Iddrisu is saying u are not part of them all cos of ur words. I think u lack common sense and irresponsible so u usually talk just like that without thinking, go and read the bible well and stop misinterpreting it. Grow up for once and stop the childish moves
Can u guys reson up for once, or we should just tolerate people with evill comment all in the name of politics,? A word to the wise is enough so amissah Arthur can choose not to be wise so wont take wat the lecturer said. Will amissah Arthur allow his son to go and stand at a poling station to be vigilant? The man says he should preach peach and there u irresponsible NDC supporters goes misjudging what he said. Grow up and stop the cheap politics. Dr owusu thanks for that piece
@ I DONT AGREE TO DR MENSAH'S ASSERTION THAT THE VEEP'S STATEMENT AT ASAWASE IS A RECIPE FOR VIOLENCE IF THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL SEVERAL SUCH STATEMENTS FROM OTHER PARTIES WHICH HAS GONE WITHOUT COMMENT. I BELIEVE DR MENSAH'S RATHER IS AN INCITEMENT !!!
Woedzi Ammisah-Arthur no tun a ma ho aye hooooooo!!!!
interest of the party, interest of party is what you all preach about, you people do not for one bit think about the interest of the country, that's why you are all following the blind governance of the party.
Voltarians are very myopic,go to the volta region,soo filthy and old,yet you see the ewes so crazy about NDC who has done nothing to improve their deplorable lives,oh blind people, Amissah Arthur is a gay,just watch the way he opens his mouth to talk,he is just an empty barrel,being used as chamber pot
Shame unto the so-called political science lecturer, how many times didn't the opposition said the same thing that the Vice President had said? For the opposition it is good for them to say it and even mentioned the electoral commissioner and the NDC for planning to rig the election. Our so-call political scientists or lecturer should stop throwing dust into the eyes of the public and speak the truth as learned people. People who know when to do politics and when not to. He was obviously giving a bad name to the Vice president and then hung him. Watching the political seen carefully, I am yet to see any one preaching peace more than the vice president and this was attest to by an Apostle of the Church of Pentecost in Kumasi a few days ago. SHAME UNTO YOU, LECTURER
He is a gay. Will never vote for a gay
