Member of Parliament (MP) for Builsa South, Dr Clement Apaak Member of Parliament (MP) for Builsa South, Dr Clement Apaak

Former Presidential Staffer and Member of Parliament (MP) for Builsa South, Dr Clement Apaak has asked Sammy Gyamfi and Hon. Sam George to kindly accept the attacks on them because it is the “Change” Ghanaians voted.

In a post on his facebook wall, the former presidential staffer ironically wrote: “Folks, indeed change has come! It’s now acceptable to slap political opponents in radio and TV studios because they have “disrespected the Presidency” and pretend to apologise! This is soooo peaceful, so the Peace Council sees nothing wrong with such barbaric conduct!"

Folks, indeed change has come! It's now acceptable to slap political opponents in radio and TV studios because they have "disrespected the Presidency" and pretend to apologise! This is soooo peaceful, so the Peace Council sees nothing wrong with such barbaric conduct!

It's peace when Nana B, the National Youth Organizer of the ruling NPP and Hon. Collins Amankwa, an NPP MP and deputy chair of the Defense and Interior committee of Parliament assault Sammy Gyamfi, the National Communication Officer of the opposition NDC?

The Peace Council, civil and moral society see nothing wrong with the assault of a sitting member of the Minority in Parliament, Hon. Sam Gorge, the shooting and brutally unleashed on Opposition NDC party activists on the day of the illegitimate by-election by the ruling NPP party thugs dressed in police uniforms, armed, hooded and moving about in official Police vehicles?

It's ok to be silent on the shooting and injuring of eleven citizens and a sitting MP? Peaceful right!

And it's ok that the President of the Republic of Ghana, Akufo-Addo, a lawyer by profession, a so-called human rights advocate, fails to condemn the assault on an opposition NDC MP, Sam George, but deemed it fit to congratulate an elected MP, Maa Lydia? And in all this the Peace Council is silent?

Wait! The Peace Council is rather worried that John Mahama, the obvious choice of the NDC to lead us to free our nation from oppression has indicated that we in the opposition NDC will defend ourselves against government sponsored state terrorism/brutally?

Let them see no evil, speak no evil and hear no evil hypocratic brigade know that it's boot for boot! We will not be sitting ducks!

By way, we are fully aware of the NPP hit list. Be assured that it will not stop us from speaking out and calling attention to the hardship, deciet and misgovernance under the NPP family, friends and business associates government!
