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.

So under whose administration did the Chereponi byelection incident happen? These Ndc ***barred word*** think all Ghanaians are as dumb as their ***barred word*** soldiers. Why would Npp snatch ballot boxes at their stronghold polling station? Ndc orchestrated this incident to pull out of an election they know they are going to lose massively.
We are weak but thy are mighty hold us with your powerful hands.
Let God arise and His enemies be scattered. The enemies of our peace, those who wish to victimize all be destroyed in Jesus Name. Amen
NDC should look for new executives. The current executives have already failed them and their fortunes has sunk to depths far worse than 2016. Mahama if elections were to be held today it was predicted was going to get less than 33%, a drop of more than 10% from 2016 results. NDC has a problem and it is not going away and no amount of propaganda and shenanigans is changing it. NDC must do the needful. Its not looking good at alllllllll for that their party, at allllllllllllll!!!!!!
How can they be, just reason small and feel the pains this guy is going through right now and see if you won't do worse. He is just imagining if it was him who lost his life.
When we fall on our knees with our face to the rising sun oh oh Lord have mercy on us. God Ghana is crying, our children, our youth and our families where do we have to turn to Lord, Please hear our prayer and come to our rescue.
IN THE ABSCENCE OF PEACE ,WAR IS FINE...
I am only thinking about my little children future. Politicians from nana addo to mahama are all use.less. JUST because of power, even if the country is destroyed they don't care. This issue of vigilantism has been with us for over three years. Mahama couldn't deal with them in government and allowed them to flourish. Today nana addo who claims to be ruling by the law and order, things are extraordinarily worse. From invading of court, forcefully sacking appointees, to killings, nothing has been done. Why wouldn't they keep doing this in common by-election. God save Ghana.
and there will be NO need to do anything. God is watching
Sammy, I am a card holding NDC member and if you lead the crusade, I will follow you. If I follow you and get an injury you (NDC) will dump and leave me. And my wife will also pack and leave me. At least for now let me enjoy my wife.
