Kennedy Agyapong Exposes NPP’s Agenda

Though it has never been in doubt that the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has always been scornful toward non-Akans particularly Gas, events of recent times have reinforced that party’s abhorrence for the Niis and Naas of Ghana.
Despite the fact that it is not proper to remind decent-thinking Ghanaians of these events, occurrences on the political landscape make it necessary to recap how the NPP has no respect for Gas, and had wished that they do not exist, evident in the way and manner they distributed Ga lands among themselves under the Kufuor-led NPP regime.
Gas, having been referred to as inferior people and told in plain language not qualified to lead the NPP in the capacity of a flagbearer, recent pronouncements by the embattled Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin North, Kennedy Akompreko Ohene Agyepong, who is standing trial for treason, has exposed the NPP’s plot against the people of Ga extraction.
Being the agenda of his party to wipe-out people not from Akan origin, Kennedy Ohene Agyepong last Friday on his radio station, OMAN FM incited his party supporters to take up arms against Ewes and Gas because, the NPP wants power “at all cost”.
As if his inflammatory statement was not enough, the loudmouth Assin North MP, drawing inspiration from his party’s flagbearer, Nana Akufo-Addo’s “all die be die” war mantra and assuming the position of warlord of the NPP “all die be die” brigade, went ahead to declare war on the state, daring the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mr. Paul Tawiah Quaye and the National Security Coordinator, Lieutenant Colonel Larry Gbevlo Lartey to come and arrest him.
Even though, a Human Rights Court yesterday granted Kennedy Agyepong bail on a health-related ground, his recent call on NPP party sympathizers to brutalized Gas, and many derogatory remarks made about them by Akans in the NPP, is a tacit indication that they will not spare Gas in the unlikely event that they get the nod in this year’s election; to once again rule this country, having demonstrated much hatred towards them.
Perhaps, the likes of Samuel Odoi Sykes, Professor Mike Ocquaye and his son, Lord Commy, Oboshie Sai Coffie, certificateless Jake Otanka Obestebi-Lamptey and Gas in the NPP will have to revise their notes since according to the Akan population in the NPP, they are inferior and do not qualify to be elected flagbearer of the party.
However, the detention of the Assin North MP and his subsequent treason charges preferred against him should serve as a deterrent to all politicians who think they are above the laws of Ghana.
On this note, we call on political party activists and social commentators to exercise restraint and to be decent; so as not to disturb the peace and stability of the country.
