Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the NPP Vice Presidential Candidate, has criticized the opposition NDC for what he described as a slap on the face of Ghanaians following the NDC’s decision to launch a “lawless” vigilante group on the very day the whole nation was witnessing the launch of a national peace campaign ahead of election 2024.
Dr. Prempeh, who was speaking at a community engagement in Duadaso in the Jaman North Constituency of the Bono Region on Monday, 4th November, 2024, as part of his campaign tours, did not mince words as he urged Ghanaians to vote for a political party that values peace.
He condemned the conduct of the NDC saying “whilst Political Leaders and Eminent Christian and Muslim Clergy were all in Accra yesterday (Sunday) launching the National Peace Campaign ahead of the 2024 elections, our opponents (the NDC) were in Kumasi on the same day launching a lawless Vigilante Group to cause mayhem during the elections. Vote wisely!”
Dr. Prempeh added; “The NDC does not care about development and the welfare of the ordinary Ghanaian. They only want your vote and if that means plunging this country into civil war so that they can win elections, they wouldn’t mind.”
NAPO, as he is affectionately called, was disappointed with the launch by the NDC of a vigilante group called “Ashanti Region Azorka Boys” ahead of the 2024 elections despite the passage of the anti-vigilante law which proscribes all vigilante groups and recommend severe punishment for law-breakers.
NAPO also took a swipe at the NDC presidential candidate, H.E. John Dramani Mahama, whom he said, is on record boasting about the revolutionary root of the NDC and claiming when it comes to unleashing violence, no political party matches the NDC.
He assured John Mahama that the NPP is a peace-loving party and will not compete with the NDC on violence but rather on ideas.
The Running Mate to Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia was accompanied on his campaign tours of the Jaman North and South Constituencies of the Bono Region by Deputy Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Alfred Tua Yeboah, the Bono Regional Minister, Justina Owusu Banahene and the Bono Regional Chairman of the Party, Kwame Baffoe Abronye.
