The leadership of Concerned Voters Movement (CVM) has condemned Thursday’s attack on a Kumasi Circuit court by members of the Delta Force, a political vigilante group aligned to the New Patriotic Party.
On Thursday April 6, some members of the Delta Force stormed the Kumasi Circuit court to free 13 of their colleagues who have been charged for throwing the Ashanti Regional Security Coordinator out of his office.
Razak Kojo Opoku, Founder and President of Concerned Voters Movement have issued a statement calling the attack as unethical and uncultured for Delta Force to attack the integrity of the judiciary.
Read the press statement below:
The nuisance behaviour of the Delta Force is becoming unbearable and the leadership of Concerned Voters Movement (CVM) condemns such nuisance and despicable behaviour.
It is very unethical and uncultured for the Delta Force to attack the integrity of the Judiciary. We don’t have to allow and encourage Party’s vigilante groups to undermine our evolving democracy.
CVM equally condemns Hon. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong and Chairman Wontumi for openly pampering and defending the actions of the Delta Force in the media when they attacked the appointed Regional Security Coordinator for Ashanti Region. The pampering and defending posture by these two NPP stalwarts gave the audacity, moral support and power to the Delta Force to attack the Court.
It was very irresponsible for Hon. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong to dares the National Security Minister and the Presidency over the nonsense behaviour of the Delta Force.
It is very important for members of NPP and any Vigilante Groups affiliated to NPP to carefully note that the unprecedented 2016 electoral victory of President Akufo-Addo was Not By The Efforts of Any Individuals or Groups.
President Akufo-Addo lost the 2008 & 2012 general elections with the full presence of Hon. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, Delta Force and the Invincible Force.
No single Person in NPP and outside NPP has the audacity to take the full or half credit for the 2016 electoral victory of President Akufo-Addo. All the credit must go to the Ghanaian Voters who decided to support the Right Vision of President Akufo-Addo by voting massively for him.
Therefore, please Hon. Kennedy Ohene Agyapon stops your unnecessary bragging about your role and the role of Delta Force and Invincible Force as far as the Victory 2016 is concerned. You were not able to win 99.9% votes for President Akufo-Addo so please stop provoking Ghanaians with your dares shouting to Appointing Authority. You must always endeavor to show utmost respect, humility and collaboration to the Appointing Authority and the appointees as well.
Let us show the maximum respect to the Ghanaian Voters and demonstrate good exemplary leadership to Ghanaians so that we don’t destroy the GOODWILL we are enjoying now.
Our unguided actions and inactions are fast destroying the beauty and Pride of the 2016 Victory. The Floating Voters who decided the 2016 Victory are keenly watching the conduct of NPP against 2020 general election.
The National Security Minister, Interior Minister and the IGP has to be proactive in dealing with the issues of the various vigilante Groups.
The Government and the leadership of NPP needs to strategically create jobs for the members of Delta Force, Invincible Force and other associated Vigilante Groups as soon as possible because they are Hungry and Angry.
We don’t have to forget that Neglect, Hunger and Anger of foot-soldiers gave 44.4% premature retirement to H.E. John Mahama.
The nuisance behaviour of the Delta Force and Invincible Force is gradually undermining the credibility of the NPP’s Government and the chance of NPP in future elections.
Lastly, CVM want members of Delta Force and Invincible Force to note that, it is a very foolish adventure to help your Party to win Power and instantaneously send your Party into an early Opposition through your own unguided, uncultured, uncivilized and unethical behaviour.

Razak Kojo Opoku
