The agenda of the youth wing of the opposition National Democratic Congress, to clash and shed blood with the pro- government political group, FixingTheCountry, on Thursday at former President John Mahama’s office in Cantonments, Accra, turned to disappointment as the group failed to show up.
This follows an earlier notice from the Leader of the FixingTheCountry movement, Ernest Owusu Bempah, who two months ago served notice to the Police to storm the office of the former President for picketing over the Airbus scandal.
But, the group call off the picketing based on a directive from the National Security Ministry.
The picketing dubbed #ChaseJMKronoAirbus has been scheduled from Thursday, 16 November to Thursday, 23 November 2023.
However, in a bid to shed blood, the Greater Accra Regional Youth Organiser of the NDC, Amorse Blessing Amos also threatened to kill any member of the FixingThe Country Movement if they dared step visit the office of former President John Mahama to embark on any protest against the NDC flagbearer.
The NDC Youth Organiser after days the of statement from Ernest Kofi Owusu Bempah also issued a statement and urged the party members to come along with weapons, such as; matchets, shovels, hoes, pick axe among other sharp objects to clean the residence of the former President on that day.
The statement issued by Amorse Amos noted that “This statement goes as a warning or whatever they may want to call it, to Owusu Bempah and whoever he may be planning this with, that they should not dare come closer to His Excellency John Dramani Mahama’s office. If he and his lapdogs are men, they should make any silly attempt around that office”.
According to him, in the event that Owusu Bempah and his group remain nonchalant and attempt anything close to what they have announced, they should pay for their coffins and graves before they come.
“We would have no issue if Owusu Bempah and his idling hirelings in the NPP want to express their revulsion against their own failed Akufo Addo/Bawumia government for its inability to stamp out corruption. We are, however, averse to attempts by the so-called group to draw His Excellency John Dramani Mahama into the misgovernance of the present administration”.
“The group, if indeed it exists, and its leader, may have a right to demonstrate, but that right must not be exercised in a reckless, illogical, and smoke-induced manner” he noted.
Thereafter, scores of the NDC members took to social media to display their weapons and threatened to harm any member of the FixTheCountry group that come the NDC flagbearer’s office.
The action of the NDC members sparked public concerns on social media, who were asking the National Security to intervene as a matter of urgency before it turns into a bloodbath.
To fulfill the evil agenda, the members of the party across the country, we’re bussed on Thursday storming the office of former President John Mahama who is currently out of Accra to face the group in case they show up.
But after getting disappointed, that the group didn’t show up, the members took pictures of themselves, displaying their weapons on social media with threatening captions.
Interestingly, none of them were seen either weeding or cleaning the office of the former President, rather were seen displaying weapons, taking pictures, drinking mineral, and chanting war songs.
In a series of posts and videos, the organisers of the NDC members were heard asking the members to display their weapons which the party members were seen raising them in the air, as they were heard chanting and calling names with insults.
Airbus Scandal
Owusu Bempah in his earlier petition said Mr. Mahama was implicated in the Airbus SE scandal but appears to be left off the hook despite the Office of the Special Prosecutor indicating the outfit’s effort to investigate the matter.
