You Are A "Funny" Character – George Opare Fires Nana B

National Youth Organizer of the National Democratic Congress, George Opare Addo has described National Youth Organizer of the New Patriotic Party Henry Nana Boakye as "funny".

To him, Nana B is just a political fly when it comes to the bigwigs in the ruling party, who should be the focus of his (Opare's) attention for maligning their presidential candidate John Dramini Mahama.

He was reacting to claims by the NPP Youth leader that his (Nana B's) "condemnation of the irresponsible and reckless comments by Ex President Mahama" of a possible "chaos in the country should the Electoral Commission  go ahead with plans to compile a new register has devastated the NDC", hence the character assassination and vilification to demoralize him.

Speaking on Okay FM’s Ade Akye Abia program, George Opare reiterated his call for the arrest of the NPP National  Youth Organiser.

The Youth Wing of the NDC, last week, called for the investigation and prosecution of Henry Nana Boakye alias Nana B over his alleged involvement in illegal mining 'galamsey'.

This was after they took note of a video recording of Kennedy Agyapong MP for Assin North, accusing Nana B of being a galamsey kingpin.

In a release signed by George Opare Addo, the NDC said “ordinarily we won't take the accusation very seriously because Hon. Kennedy Agyepong makes a lot of unsubstantiated allegations but because of the sensitive nature of these particular allegations and how excavators have gone missing it is worth looking into.”

"If you have anything direct it to Hon. Kennedy Agyapong who informed us that you are heavily involved in galamsey. You are not able to hit back at Kennedy Agyapong who made those wild allegations, you are just finding a hanging foot.

"If Kennedy Agyapong feels that he has maligned you then he should apologize other than that you have no right to accuse us or the former President for your predicament.

"But we still insist that Henry Nana Boakye should be prosecuted if he is indeed involved in galamsey...The Akufo Addo Administration has failed in galamsey fight. Ghanaians should be bold and vote him out of power," the NDC stalwart stated.

He urged Ghanaians not to despair as incoming President John Mahama will fight the ongoing menace of galamsey with his blood to rid our water bodies of the filth.

Ghana has in the past few months seen a resurgence of illegal small scale mining, an activity which was curbed following a fierce campaign waged by the government in collaboration with the media and civil society organizations.

This has been worsened by some missing excavators seized by the Operation Vanguard as part of the clamp-down on illegal mining, triggering a probe by the Police Criminal Investigations Department.
