NPP Firebrand and MP for Assin North, Kennedy Agyapong, has launched a verbal blitzkrieg at the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), labeling them as �fools�. He, however, singles out a leading member of the party, Alfred Woyome, as a �stupid fool� for calling for his (Ken's) arrest and rather posits that the country's security agencies should haul President Mills before them for questioning. His vituperative, according to the Assin North MP, is justified and his choice of descriptive adjectives for his political opponents apt, stressing that it is time to tell the NDC to the face what Ghanaians think of them. The NPP MP�s scathing attack was a direct response to Alfred Woyome's call on the BNI to �arrest� him (Ken) for making what he (Woyome) considers as a statement of intent likely to cause fear and panic. Ken Agyapong had on Wednesday issued a stern warning on CitiFM to the NDC saying if the ruling party does not abandon plans to rig the 2012 elections, Ghana would be plunge into a state of genocide like what transpired in the East African nation of Rwanda where an estimated 800,000 died in the 1994 mass murder. �If we don�t have peaceful elections in this country and Koku Anyidoho thinks he can use the military, the macho men to intimidate and rig elections, Ghana would not be like Kenya, Ghana would be like Rwanda�We want peace, nobody wants to fight in this country�but an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth�this time we would not sit down for NDC to intimidate anybody, if they hit one we would hit three,� the outspoken NPP MP charged. His comments comes in the wake of threats by Koku Anyidoho, that the NDC would deal with the flagbearer of the NPP, Nana Akufo-Addo if he dare incite his supporters to engage in electoral violence next year. The Communications Director at the Presidency, told London-based Focus Radio recently that Akufo-Addo, the NPP chairman Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey and former Chairman Peter Mac Manu may all die first if they persist with their �all-die-be-die� mantra. Reached for his comments, Alfred Woyome, a co-opted member of the Volta Regional Executive of the NDC and a former Vice Honorary Consul of Austria, posited that there�s a vast world of difference in what Koku Anyidoho said and the rather sharp rebuttal from the NPP MP. To him, the latter is more menacing in nature and must be regarded as an emphatic declaration of an intention or a determination to inflict harm or cause chaos.
