Don't provoke NPP; Ken Agyapong cautions NDC

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin North, Kennedy Agyapong has advised members of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) to shun provocative acts targeted at members of the NPP for peace to prevail in the country.

Some leading members of the ruling party reportedly accused the NPP of cladding their members in NDC paraphernalia to storm the Supreme Court with canes last week.

Kennedy Agyapong debunked the NDC's claims, cautioning the ruling party to refrain from lies and allow members of the NPP to have their peace of mind.

He stated that the NPP, in the face of the obvious rigging of the polls, which allowed the NDC to emerge victorious, had been accommodative and peaceful.

The NPP lawmaker expressed disgust over the peddling of falsehood by NDC members and called on them to stop the practice.

Hon. Agyapong said the teeming NPP supporters across the country had remained calm and peaceful because of the insightful talks by top members of the party.

Ghana, he opined, requires peace and unity to continue developmental projects.

Hon. Agyapong slammed the Chairman of the Electoral Commission (EC), Dr. Afari Gyan for behaving like a 'thin God,' who could not be touched in the country, indicating-that the inaction of the EC boss helped the NDC to emerge victorious unjustifiably.

He observed that Dr. Afari Gyan always frowned, saying "you are not indispensable."

Hon. Agyapong warned that the actions of EC boss, IGP Paul Tawiah Quay'e and Bishop Asante Antwi of the Peace Council could plunge the country into chaos if care was not taken.
