Security consultant, Adam Bonaa has slammed former President John Mahama for his comments following the violence that ensued during the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-elections on Thursday.
According to him, despite the unfortunate episode, the NDC presidential candidate was out of order by suggesting violence as the way forward.
“I want to sound a caution that NDC has a revolutionary root and when it comes to unleashing violence no one can beat us to that,” John Mahama told NDC sympathisers in Adaklu in the Volta region.
“Every level-headed person should be worried by Mahama’s words,” Bonaa told Mamavi Owusu Aboagye on News Desk on the Joy News channel Friday.
He added that instead on focusing on the politicking, the police should speed up investigations and release to the public who was behind the attacks.
The attacks occurred a few hours into the voting process.
Armed men clothed in National Security Council branded shirts and khaki trousers; all of them armed to the teeth stormed the La-Bawaleshie Presbyterian Basic ‘1’ pollingcentre, which caused clashes between them and some agents and sympathisers of the opposition NDC.
The vehicle they drove there was branded police SWAT.
But Mr. Bonaa said according to his cheques, the “attackers” are neither national security operatives nor are they police officers.
“So the question is, who are they,” he quizzed.
He said moving forward President Nana Akufo-Addo and all former presidents should be brought to a round table talk on non-violence in subsequent elections.
“An election can always be won in a peaceful environment…this should not have happened,” he noted.

It's surprising when an immediate past president talks this way. The security agencies should be mindful in dealing with him as just as figures are being pointed at Ken Agyapong on comments Our past president should be interrogated by the CID for inciting violence

npp understands voilence, so NDC should give them
Those victims what is the proof that they are all NDC sympathisers or were they wearing NDC tags?
YOU HAVE THE GUST TO CONDEMN MAHAMA AND SPARE NANA. WE ARE WAITING COOLING. WE WILL DIE FOR OUR NATION AND DEMOCRACY NOT FOR JOHN. MARK IT. ON THAT DAY COME OUT TO CODEMN MAHAMA
Who and who should have round table talk? When they were using the invisible forces and delta forces to conduct this non sense, did they consult the NDC? There couldn't have been a better response from president mahama. You matched to someone's house wielding AK47s to shoot and wound NDC supporters and when you are replied with a stern warning, you think mahama's words were irresponsible. You should thank your God that he was even soft, by not calling on NDC supporters to also attack but yesterday. I can't understand why some people can be so hypocritical when it is about mahama. We have a president on Ghana who have seen this blatant stoupidity displayed, but haven't said one word to condemn this barbaric act, and you think its like kookoo and koose.
Wow! So all these individuals are in Ghana? And they are only able to speak when its about the NDC. What are they afraid of? As much as eight persons have been wounded for going about their civil duties, and here we are, instead of condemning what went wrong, they are worried about an innocuous statement from mahama aimed at replying hoodlums who committed this heinous acts. AMAZING!
