Henry Nana Boakye, the National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), commonly known as Nana B, has quizzed why there are different laws for NPP and different laws for NDC.
Nana B, during the NPP “Yɛn Suro Ahunahuna” protest in Accra, declared the NPP will not be intimidated by what it describes as deliberate attempts by State institutions.
The NPP man cited the arrest of Abronye DC, Sir Obama and Fante Comedy.
He noted that state institutions have not similarly treated NDC members the way they treat NPP members.
Speaking during the “Yɛn Suro Ahunahuna” protest, Nana B stated, “Why do we have different laws for NPP and different laws for NDC? That is what we are protesting against: the weaponisation of State institutions against the opposition. This is deliberate, a clear orchestration against the NPP. We will not be intimidated”.
“You arrest somebody and then impose onerous bail conditions. That is most unfortunate. We are telling the President, who claims to be an embodiment of democracy, to ensure these institutions stop the harassment. We are not going to sit down for our rights to be trampled upon,” he added.
Meanwhile, the youth wing of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is on the streets today, Tuesday, September 23, to protest against the John Mahama-led government over what it described as selective justice, intimidation, and abuse of opposition members.
The NPP protest follows the arrest of NPP members, Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), Kwame Baffoe, also known as Abronye DC, and other NPP members.
According to the NPP, the arrest of several members and sympathisers has been politically influenced by investigations.
The NPP protesters will march to present a petition at the Police Headquarters, before proceeding to the Jubilee House to deliver a final petition to the Office of the President.
Salam Mustapha stated, “I can confirm that the leadership of the party will be present, and so will the Minority Leader and the entire Minority Caucus”.
The “Yɛn Suro Ahunahuna” demo, meaning “We do not fear oppression”.
Additionally, Salam Mustapha has called on Ghanaian youth to rise against what he describes as selective justice.
Speaking at a press conference on Friday, September 19, Mr Mustapha stated, “We’re seeing state-sponsored harassment of opposition voices. Our country is being destroyed. The youth of Ghana are no longer safe. They cannot speak. We will not allow a government to turn us into tenants, timid people. That is not the youth of Ghana. We will resist oppressive rule”.
“That is why, in the voice of defiance, I say to you, all of you, rise and let’s demonstrate on the 23rd, Tuesday, and show our abhorrence to the selectivity, the injustice, the perversion of this government, for all of us, our collective safety, that will build a better society for Ghana”, he added.
Also, Salam Mustapha has issued a stern warning to the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The NPP vowed retaliation for what it described as ongoing harassment and political persecution of New Patriotic Party members.
According to Salam Mustapha, the NDC is using state power to silence dissenting voices criticising the government.
Speaking on Peace FM’s Kokrokoo morning show, Salam Mustapha stated, “We will fix our party, and we will give you people a good run for your money”.
“And I tell you that the ‘boot for boot’ you’re giving us, we will give you times two. That is why, no matter what you do, you can’t silence us; it won’t work,” he added.
