The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has petitioned the diplomatic community against what it believes are deliberate attacks on its members, allegedly by supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), following the latter’s victory in the last presidential and parliamentary elections.
The Deputy General Secretary of the NDC, Mr Koku Anyidoho, told the Daily Graphic that the decision to petition the international community had become necessary because the party did not want to be blamed for any chaotic scenes that might arise due to the attacks on its members.
NDC on attacks
It will be recalled that the National Chairman of the NDC, Mr Kofi Portuphy, in the company of some national executives of the party at a press conference last week, blamed President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for the development.
He said, among other things, that "Nana Akufo-Addo's lack of positive and unifying leadership skills as an opposition leader seriously wounded the NPP. Never should he mislead himself into believing that Ghanaians shall allow him to wound and divide this dear country of ours.”
"The beastly conduct of Nana Akufo-Addo's Invincible Forces will no longer be countenanced. We are calling on civil societies, religious bodies, the media and the international community not to blame the NDC if the unacceptable conduct of Akufo-Addo’s Invincible Forces leads to reprisal attacks.”
Petition
Mr Anyidoho said since the attacks continued unabated, the party had taken the matter a step further by petitioning the diplomatic community.
Mr Anyidoho said: “It is true; we have done what is right and proper by petitioning the diplomatic community for them to also be aware of what is going on in the country, that Invincible Forces are vandalising state properties and attacking innocent Ghanaians.”
“We want them to know what is happening so that they would not blame the NDC for any mishap if the unfortunate situation is not brought under control by the government. So, yes, we have done the right thing by petitioning the diplomatic community.”
“We have made the same appeal to our local institutions. At least Dr Opuni Frimpong has come out on behalf of the Christian Council of Ghana after we succeeded in piling pressure on him, although he did not want to comment on the matter initially. We are just making sure that we leave no stone unturned by petitioning the diplomatic community,” he stated.

This fuuuuuuuuulish guy called Koku Anhyidoho doesnt stop to amaze us. Was he not the one who was always bragging of showing the NPP where power lies? he speaks arrogantly as if Ghana belongs to him. This fuuuuuuuulish man must be silent once and for all. Who does he thinks he is? NDC used the police to melt out brutalities on ordinary Ghanaians who were demonstrating in the country. Gabby Asare Darko even sustain serious injuries. Another person lost his eye. where was him during that time. You people have not seen anything yet. Fuuuuuuulish and arrogant NDC people.
Look at his boring face.
you can go to the Hague, where is IGP and Cephas Authur or Police headquarters, give us a break you have soon forgotten what happened in 2009,the Abobloshie, Akwatia, Cheriponi and others, you can go to hell with your empty noise.
where are your men. Meet them on the street. We will come after you soon
Mtcheeeeeeew!😑😒
Koku, don't you know any Police Station to report whoever you think is attacking your so called supporters for them to be arrested and brought to book? After all the Police were your best friends not too long ago when you boldly came out to say the Police are prepared to crush the NPP when you were in power. Those guys who you claim are misbehaving if any, are hooligans who should be dealt it and not the position of the NPP. Is it also a cover up for your party's HUMILIATING defeat so that the party foot soldiers do not come after you?
