Audio Attachment:Listen to Greater Accra Regional Minister, Nii Laryea Afotey Agbo in an interview with Kwami Sefa Kayi on 'kokrokoo' |
The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Nii Laryea Afotey Agbo says NPP’s flagbearer, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has trained his 'violent' supporters to ‘only’ launch assault on NDC supporters ahead of the December 7 polls.
According to him, Nana Addo will be a “violent” leader should he become President.
“We can’t imagine what is going to happen to NDC members if Nana Addo becomes the President of this country,” he said.
His comment comes a day after the NDC was accused of attacking the residence of Nana Addo, but Afotey Agbo rubbished the claims and described it as frivolous.
Nima police personnel managed to stop what could have turn into a bloody clash between supporters of the NPP and NDC on Sunday.
This was after supporters of the NDC who were embarking on a health walk, allegedly veered off to Akufo-Addo's Nima residence, pelted stones and bottles at the house causing some damage.
The supporters, according to reports, tried to enter the house but met resistance from Nana Addo's security men.
The NPP in a statement accused the NDC of instigating the attack and condemned it accordingly.
"This action was premeditated and unquestionably violent. Amassing NDC supporters outside of the NPP Flagbearer’s house is part of a broad range of calculated, violent, and provocative acts designed to bait the NPP into responding in similar fashion.
"Such behavior is a threat to the integrity of our democracy and must not be tolerated," a statement signed by Nana Akomea said.
But Afotey Agbo on PEACE FM’s morning show ‘Kokrokoo’ rather accused the NPP of perpetrating violence ahead of the December 7 general elections.
He told host Kwami Sefa Kayi that “Our supporters did not start the attack. There was no stone attack as reported. Why didn’t they [NPP] allow the police to access Nana Addo’s compound after those claims?”
“They should stop with those weapon things. They did same in Odododiodio, NPP should stop this violent acts they've been perpetrating. If they can fight among themselves in their own party, they can do same to other political parties,” he said.
The Greater Accra Regional Minister however gave the assuranc that as head of the Regional Security Council, ensuring a peaceful environment for the elections is his commitment.
He urged the security agencies to arrest and prosecute any individual who misbehaves as the country heads to the polls in 23 days.

How can an elderly man like u not think for a second. What did your people go there to do and what for? instead of condemin the act of those illeterates followin u, u are rather doing propaganda with this issue all cos u can see defeat stiring at ur face, was that the only place ur supporters could have gone. I dont know why some of our youth have allowed theirselves to be used like this without using their conscience, will this minister allow his son to follow and NDC walk to talk of acting violent, now we can clearly see the violent party and we are voting massively against u people so u can twist the news for all we can u will go to opposition,,,,,,,change is a must
YOU INTENTIONALLY ATTACK NANA AKUFO ADDO'S HOME AND TURN ROUND TO ACCUSE HIM OF BEING VIOLENT. GHANAIANS HAVE GROWN BEYOND YOUR HYPOCRITICAL TENDENCIES. KNOWING THAT THEY HAVE ALREADY LOST THE ELECTIONS WITH THE WIND OF CHANGE BLOWIN EVERYWHERE, THEY WANT TO RESORT TO VIOLENCE. GOD FORBID. I DECREE AND DECLARE THAT ANYBODY, I MEAN ANYONE THAT WANTS TO PLUNGE THE COUNTRY INTO CHAOS BE IT NDC, CPP, NPP, PNC, NDP, PPP, OR INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE WILL NOT SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY. GOD IS WATCHING ALL OF US.
SUCH A CHARACTER IS OUR REGIONAL MINISTER. IF THEY HAD GIVEN HIM MORE CHANCE HE WOULD'VE SAID THAT NDC DIDN'T PASS THERE BUT FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE US DECEMBER 7TH AND GENERAL ELECTIONS.
You see the kind of people we have as 'leaders' leading Ghana into an abyss just to perpetuate themselves in political power by any means possible. After launching a campaign of character assassination on one of the most distinguished public servants of the land for years with no success, you engage in obvious idiotic acts like this. Realising that their tagging of Nana Addo as violent has failed hence clearly losing the election, they invent a new tactic of provoking the man with a physical assault on his home to get a reaction from his security detail and then turn around and say....'ahaaa..we said it, Akuffo Addo is a violent man like we've been saying all this while hence don't vote for him. Rather vote for us to remain in power because we alone can ensure there is peace in Ghana; utter ***barred word***. Can someone tell this minither that guy Ade Coker this morning on Okay FM admitted the NDC crowd threw missiles into Nana Addo's home? Which of the lies should we accept now? These guys are so ***barred word*** it defies logic. The NDC's desperation has exposed them big time and Ghanaians have seen through them, even the Volta region. This is not the end, their agenda is to cause enough chaos as possible to create the environment to rig the election with the opposition not focusing but it won't work this time around.
So this man is also paid from the taxpayers's sweat. Oh i see, he cannot even construct a simple sentence in English let alone analysis things objectively. Ghanaians have the power to stop naive ministers like this one from their sweat and that is December 7, 2016. Vote for change and the whole world will realize their stolen and ill gotten wealth.
N D C and their propaganda,twisting the facts left,right,back,front and centre as usual.Ghana,s educated elite for want of stomach direction have made this n d c tugs to want to believe that every body in Gahana is a ***barred word*** except they the n d c.
WHO IN GHANA IS MORE VIOLENT THAN AFOTEY AGBO?
Because of lies like this you will die... Because of this lies you have lost all your siblings and recently your brother died in a serious car accident.. I am not God but this lies will surely kill you.. How can Nana who is not at home instigate this violence perpetrated in his house
It is an open fact that when it comes to which party is the violent one in Ghana, it is the NDC.
This is the regional minister and head of regional security speaking like his typical busshmann attitude, talking like a serial caller. Was Nana Addo in the house? What were your members forcing to enter into the house for? Get serious for once. The tag of violence on Nana is not holding and you guys are clearly frustrated and desperate. Still, CHANGE IS COMING
