It's clearly a tit-for-tat affair now as Communications Officer for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, urges members and supporters of the opposition party to take up arms and face off with the ruling party in the Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency.
Speaking on UTV moments after the NDC's press conference to officially announce their boycott of the ongoing bye-election in the constituency, Sammy Gyamfi decried attacks on their supporters by some faceless security personnel he believes to be members of a vigilante group with strong leanings towards the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
UTV Reporter, Prince Ahenkan, giving a field report earlier in the day, narrated that some assailants stormed the Bawaleshie Presby polling station in a bid to prevent the electorates from voting because they suspected foul play.
The Police, including personnel from the defunct SWAT team confronted them, leading to a massive misunderstanding which later resulted in the shooting incident that left about six people (said to be members of the opposition party) injured.
At a press conference organised by the NDC at about midday, an incensed Sammy Gyamfi, summoned party members to active hostilities against the NPP at the various electoral areas within the constituency.
“People should know that under the constitution of Ghana, the law gives everybody the right to defend themselves. Our members, who have been attacked and injured, as we speak now, some have been incarcerated in cells. As we speak now, they’re still chasing people into the bush . . . All those people should defend themselves. If you have a gun, defend yourselves. Defend yourself if you have a machete. Defend yourself with anything you carry on you. If you have a bow and arrow, defend yourself,” he called to arms.

Sammy Gyamfi, lead the pack with your gun/matchete. Who do you think will follow your silly instructions? No one will die for you politicians-sm all boy like you- to enjoy.. never again!!! Na nea ma te tee te
Sammy think your still make your point without referring to the president as "wodinii" meaning he is a murderer. Hmmmmm okay.
When will the NDC+NPP politicians learn that Ghana is not their property?I will urge S.Gyamfi to lead the "war" or assult with his families following him. Ghana has only sentimental politicians who do not have the patience to control their emotions.Sammy Gyamfi has to be called by the Ghana Police and the Security Agents to explain.His utterance is worse than that of Ken.Agyapong's utterance regarding Ahmed of blessed memory.
This ***barred word*** must be arrested immediately. Does he think he owns this country. NONSENSEEE
SAm George, you see, what goes around comes around. When your government was in power, you did same, even to ET Mensah and his supporters. Not all Ghanaians easily forgive. I am sorry this is happening in Ghana but NDC started with the vigilante groups, beating people for control of toilets and lorry stations. I wish Nana and parliament could ban all such associations that are political and violent. If there is a call to arms, NDC will be disadvantaged just like NPP was when vigilantes were formed. This is the time to encourage the youth to continue their education and not to be used by politicians who will dump them later. Parents should talk to their wards if only they will listen. Politicians are just using them.
Ask yourself why will someone in national security T-shirt wear mask, shoot indiscriminately and steal a ballot box at a polling station which is a stronghold of the ruling party in all the previous elections? These ndc morons don't even know how to plan mischief. Why will a ***barred word*** who does not want to be identified by covering his face with a mask wear a T-shirt that reveals the institution he works for? They know they would loose heavily so they want to create an incident out of it to discredit the EC, government and the security agencies. A form of prelude to justify the terror they would visit on this country in 2020 elections. That is the only way ndc can win elections in Ghana.
Ohh so Sam George is now shouting and complaining,what did he do to ET Mensah....that kamar there for him
You should have listened to one of your mps advice he gave to save you time nd resources than onaapo defeat again
IN THE ABSENCE OF LAW, WAR IS NICE
Kindly arrest him now
