The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Professional Forum, North America (NA) has expressed “deep concern” about the “looming threat of insecurity and has warned the NPP government to stop intimidating the citizens with insecurity.

According to the group, “We have also seen an intercepted letter from the office of the Upper West Regional Security Coordinator requesting NPP constituency chairmen to submit names of strong men to be trained purposely for election 2020; which suggests the formation of a ‘militia’.

In a petition signed by Mr Arnold Appiah, sighted by MyNewsGh.com, the president of the NDC Professional Forum, NA, stated that “using state resources to train people to hurt the state is not Godly and just.”

“They should stop intimidating the citizens with insecurity tactics and rather protect them”.

“We need a country where the churches can continue to function to the glory of God. We need a country where the media can function to deepen our democracy. We need a country where businesses can flourish to provide opportunities and prosperity for all,” the statement added.
