The Democratic National Congress (NDC) has called the recent attacks on people and property in various parts of the Volta Region alarming.
In a press release issued by the party and signed by its national president, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, the party said the situation was a poor reflection of the security services and the ruling New Patriotic Party (PNP).
The NDC believes it is because “while lives have been lost and property destroyed, the people of Ghana have yet to hear a comment from the president condemning these acts of treason and lawlessness.”
The statement by the country’s largest opposition party follows another attack by the group at dawn Tuesday on the STC courtyard in Ho, where a vehicle was burned.
The armed men, allegedly members of the secessionist group, also managed to hit a driver in the yard before chasing the security man.
The situation has left many concerned and some people have called on state security to accelerate swift measures to curb the threat.
But the NDC says there is already evidence suggesting calculated efforts to cause fear and panic in that part of the country.
“We do not want to believe that the inaction of the President and the National Security Council is deliberate and calculated to achieve a sinister political motive that includes suppressing votes in the NDC stronghold.
“There is already enough apprehension provoked by these events that suggest the complicity of the bureaucracy to generate fear and human insecurity in that part of the country as justification for an intimidating security presence; the type that was witnessed during the electoral registration exercise just a few months ago ”, alleged the National President.
Meanwhile, the NDC says it is closely monitoring the security situation along the Eastern Corridor and the country as a whole.
The party, through the statement, called on Ghanaians to come together to preserve the national unity and stability currently enjoyed as the country prepares for the 2020 general elections.
