Former President John Mahama has alleged that the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) is training thugs in batches at Asutuare to cause mayhem during the 2020 polls.
Speaking about electoral violence during a visit by the Ghana Journalists Association, Mr Mahama said he prays the level of violence that marred the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election is not repeated on a nationwide scale.
“We remember what happened in Ayawaso West Wuogon. I pray that, God forbid, nothing like that ever happens again. But you know the issue of vigilantes, especially one party is training vigilantes.
“I remember at the time of Ayawaso West Wuogon, there was a letter that came out asking party executives to bring able-bodied people to be trained as security.
“Since then, we have evidence that those people have been to Asutuare and trained in batches over and over again in all kinds of combat techniques and other things.
“It’s is a worry that Ayawaso West Wuogon will be repeated on a larger scale than it did”, Mr Mahama, who is the main opposition National Democratic Congress’ 2020 flag bearer said.
He added: “This was only a by-election but the way things are going and from what we are hearing, it is possible that some sinister force is preparing to wreak violence during the [general] elections and this is something that we must look at.”

THIS COMMENT BY MAHAMA WOULD NOT EVEN COME FROM A MENTAL HOME. JUST ***barred word*** AND STUUUUPIIID.
The national security must not take his assertion lightly because ndc when they accuse you of wrong doing it means they have plan to do it or are doing it, a bunch of evil and nation wrecking activities has been their stock in trade
Mahama is naturally born a lie and bad. The Ndc is unacceptably born bad, wicked, evil , murderous and ***barred word***. Their stock in trade is ***barred word*** propaganda. Please mr flag bearer stop propagating lies and give us your alternative policies which I know you have none anyway. You are the biggest joke and a mistake Mother Ghana has ever made. You are clueless, bereft of ideas and a looter. Please give us a break haba.
THE NPP GOVERNMENT MUST KNOW THAT MAHAMA IS TRAINING THUGS TO DISRUPT THE 2020 ELECTIONS AFTER THE FAILED COUP ATTEMPT. HE HAS A LOT OF REASONS TO BE DESPERATE AND WILL DO EVERYTHING TO ENSURE HE WRESTLES POWER. THEREFORE, THE BNI, NATIONAL SECURITY AND GPS MUST IMMEDIATELY ARREST HIM. SECONDLY, THEY MUST MONITOR ALL ACTIVITIES OF NDC OFFICIALS AND GET OFOSU AMPOFO IN JAIL AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE. THE POSSIBLE PLACES WHERE THE VIOLENCE WILL TAKE PLACE INCLUDE KUMASI, TAKORADI, CAPE COAST, NEWLY CREATED REGIONS AND THE EC HQ. NPP DON'T CROSS YOUR FINGERS BECAUSE OUR VERY LIVES DEPEND ON YOUR VERY SUCCESS IN GOVERNMENT AND CONTINUOUS STAY IN OFFICE. LET THE GPS ALSO PROTECT OUR LEADERS 24/7 WITH ALL THE RESOURCES AVAILABLE. THIS IS IMPORTANT.
It is funny; the nation's security should not be ***barred word*** this time into doing a one-sided investigations into this man's allegation. As characteristic of NDC, they accuse others when they are the ones brutally engaged in committing the crime. Hypocrites! The seurity would do a better by going into investigations that cover the security arrangements and preparations of the accusers also!
THE BNI,AND NATIONAL SECURITY SHOULD INVITE HIM FOR QUESTIONING FOR HIM TO PROVE WITH EVIDENCE ASAP
you will not win, go and sleep oluman
We all know the president is on a working tour showing various projects ongoing. This is a diversionary tactic to shift attention from the president tour, to set agenda for the radio station to discuss to create unnecessary tension. Wasn't he the same person who rubbish the coup de'tal story that is a bentua coup de'tal. He needs to be consistent and not selective on security matters when it goes against you and party. Sooo disappointing
JOHN BENTUA MAHAMA HAS ALREADY THROWN IN THE TOWEL.NDC EXECUTIVES CANT READ THROUGH THE LINES BUT KWESI BOTCHWEY ALLOTEY JACOBS, AND JJ KNOW.NO CAMPAIGN MESSAGE NO ANY PLANS TO WIN THE HEART OF THE PEOPLE EXCEPT LIES HMMM!
Ahhhhh, there he goes again. He will NEVER seize to amaze me. WHAT PLANS DO YOU HAVE FOR GHANA? Stop wasting our ears with you no-plan agenda!
