Former New Patriotic Party General Secretary Nana Ohene Ntow has said the exceptional security arrangement put in place by the Inspector-General of Police Dr. George Akuffo Dampare for the December 7 polls saved the country a great deal during the elections.

According to him, Ghanaians “must stand up” and eulogise the IGP for the comprehensive security plan for the polls despite the pressure he would have been working under.

Speaking on TV3’s Key Points Saturday, the Alan Kyerematen associate said political parties have been impressed by the boldness and expertise of the IGP.

“To be frank Ghanaians must stand up for Dampare. His security arrangement and strategic planning saved this country. But for him and his team, this country would have probably tipped over. We saw how some recalcitrant soldiers behaved, but Dampare insisted that the only time the military will be officially deployed will be under his instruction and he stayed committed to his promise, God bless him for the work he did,” Nana Ohene Ntow noted.

He urged Ghanaians to commend leaders when they live above expectation just as they condemn leaders who underperform.
