The acts of certain National Democratic Congress (NDC) members who were spotted carrying machetes around the party’s flagbearer, John Dramani Mahama’s office, have drawn sharp criticism from President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
The president expressed dissatisfaction with the action, which was caught on camera and went viral, following an alleged clean-up exercise on Thursday, November 23, 2023, according to citinewsroom.com.
Addressing the Victory Congregation of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana in Accra, during the Valedictory Church Service for the outgoing Moderator, Rt. Reverend Professor Joseph Obiri Yeboah Mante, President Akufo-Addo expressed his concern over the development.
“It is my honest hope that the machetes and weapons brandished last week at the residence of the NDC’s presidential candidate, the former president John Mahama, are not signs of things to come in the run-up to the 2024 elections,” he stated.
He emphasized that such actions will not find success under his watch.
“I want to state for the record that under my watch, no person or group of persons, no matter their political coloration, will destabilize our country nor destroy the peace that all of us are enjoying. It will not happen,” he assured.
