NDC blames Akufo-Addo, NPP for Delta Force attack

In a statement, the NDC condemned in “no uncertain terms and without any reservations, the attack” on the court by the Delta Force who owe “unalloyed allegiance to President Nana Akuffo-Addo and the New Patriotic Party (NPP).”

In a strongly worded statement, the NDC said, “This shameful and barbaric conduct by the so-called “Delta Forces” of NPP, is absolutely repugnant, bizarre and reprehensible. These wanton unleashing of acts of banditry on the people of Ghana since, 7th of January, 2017, when Nana Akuffo-Addo took over the reins of Government, cannot be tolerated any longer in Kwame Nkrumah’s Ghana in this 21st Century.”

It said the judiciary is the last bastion for the protection of “our fundamental human rights as a People, as well as the maintenance of the rule of law in a free and democratic country like the one that we have worked tirelessly for decades to establish for ourselves. “

The statement, signed by the party’s general secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, labelled the day of the attack, Thursday, April 06, 2017, as “black Thursday,” saying it “shall forever remember it as a sordid black spot on the democracy of Mother Ghana.”

The NDC called on the president to responsibility for the “dastardly attack” while calling on him to “act swiftly and bring his fellow party members perpetrating these ignominious acts to book in order to redeem the enviable image of Ghana as a peaceful exemplary democratic country which was bequeathed to him less than 100 days ago.”
