Audio Attachment:Listen to Allotey Jacobs |
Social commentator, Bernard Allotey Jacobs has sounded a note of caution to the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) to desist from using violence to win elections.
Allotey Jacobs was commenting on the recent by-elections at the Ayawaso West Wuogon that erupted into chaos.
Some armed security personnel fired gunshots at electorates near the La-Bawaleshie polling station at the Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency, with eight people sustaining various degrees of gun wounds.
Condemning the incident on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo', Allotey Jacobs advised the NPP saying "he who kills by the sword dies by the sword".
“Who ordered them to do it? Was it an orchestrated plan to intimidate these people so that nobody comes to vote? Was that the agenda?" he questioned.
He called on the government to compensate the victims of the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election violence.
“Every life we living has its consequences. He who kills by the sword dies by the sword . . . In every form; I will condemn any violence in any by-election. It is not healthy for our democracy. So, we shouldn’t make it an NDC/NPP issue. Let us look at our national security. Let us look at what the Ghana Police Service did during the by-election,” he told host Kwami Sefa Kayi.

Who drew the sword first? Who pulled the first sword at Amenfi West, Akwatia, Atiwa, Kumawu, Asutifi South, Asunafo South, Tamale Central, Agbogbroshie, Cheriponi and Telensi? Did NPP draw any sword in any of these places? What happened in Ayawaso West Wougon was very bad and has to be condemned by every Ghana but NDC and Allotey. They have no moral authority to condemn it because they're hypocrites. Now, Allottey and his bloody NDC members are crying foul because they're all suffering from what I term, "SELECTIVE MEMORY SYNDROME SICKNESS". Yes, blood was all over the place at Ayawaso West Wougon bye-election but there blood at all the areas mentioned above. Where was Mr. Allottey Jacob?
THAT IS A FACT...PAST IS PAST
when the NDC took an eye from a protestant, it was ok. now somebody getting kicked is not ok.
During 2016 elections someone lost an eye, was it not NDC period? Alotey justified it, now you and all NDC member can cry now ...politic(Democracy) is not a good thing in Africa. Especially Ghana.
When did Allotey became a Social Commentator. Awww Ghana.If he doesn't have any work to do he should sleep 24/7 and stop wasting the Airwaves.Allotey keep your advise and we will keep our Ghana safe.
