Enough is enough demo: Party security to deal with rampaging participants- Gbande warns
The Deputy General Secretary of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Mustapha Gbande, has cautioned participants in today’s demonstration nationwide to engage in any disruptive behaviour.
Mr Gbande emphasized that the NDC would not condone any troublemaking during the protests.
He stated that the party’s internal security is prepared to take decisive action against anyone attempting to cause disturbances.
The protest aims to pressure the Electoral Commission (EC) into conducting an audit of the voter register.
Mr. Gbande assured that the demonstration would be conducted lawfully, with arrangements made to ensure a peaceful event.
He stressed that the party’s security personnel are ready to handle any potential disruptions and have been instructed to maintain order.
This includes dealing swiftly with any issues to ensure the demonstration proceeds without incident.
“We will walk as slowly as possible, that will take us to the Electoral Commission peacefully… We also know that our brothers from the NPP intended to let some people wear our T-shirts to come and pretend as if they were part of the demonstrators and cause trouble so that we would get a bad name.
“We wouldn’t wait for the police to deal with such an act. We ourselves will detail our security guys to deal with such a threat the way it deserves if it shows its head,” he added.
Mr Gbande emphasized that the NDC and the people of Ghana intend to hold a peaceful demonstration to express their demand for a cleanup or audit of the voter register.
“If anybody covertly arranges to come and perpetrate illegality in that demonstration, we will deal with that person with any force that we can marshal at that level so that we do not take a bad name home,” he warned.
He spoke in an interview with Accra-based Citi FM on Monday, September 16,2024
