The opposition New Patriotic Party�s northern regional secretariat has endorsed the former Minister for Justice and Attorney General, Hon. Joe Ghartey�s assertion that President John Evans Atta Mills was superintending over a state of lawlessness.
The party�s deputy Northern regional Secretary says the former Attorney General was right in his comment because the culture of impunity is on the rise in the country.
Harunah Iddrisu was addressing the media in Tamale where he insinuated that Ghanaians were no longer safe under Mills-Mahama government.
He catalogued a series of nefarious activities allegedly executed by NDC foot soldiers under President John Evans Atta Mills� watch since 2009 without any of the perpetrators being arrested.
Harunah Iddrisu mentioned the vandalization of the Tamale Mayor�s office; the seizure of auction vehicles at both the Tamale Teaching Hospital and the Vodafone offices in Tamale as some of the worrying situations that needed the President�s quick action.
He further questioned the government�s silence on the burning of the Tamale Central secretariat of the National Youth Employment Programme (NYEP) by irate NDC youth who embarked on a vandalization spree in protest against an Accra Fast Track High Court�s decision to acquit and discharge 14 suspects arrested in connection with the death of Yaa-Naa Yakubu Andani II.
The NPP scribe further expressed worry about what he saw as rising tension between Nigerian traders and some NDC foot soldiers in Tamale, a situation he observed could mar relations between the two West African countries.
According to him, members of a known NDC youth group called the Aluta Boys have for the past one week been beating and sacking Nigerian traders mainly Ibos from the Tamale market over a misunderstanding that led to the arrest of one of the Aluta boys by the police.
He therefore called for government�s intervention to prevent the situation from being replicated in Nigeria.
