NDC activist who was convicted for contempt in the election petition case, Stephen Atubiga has threatened to assault some national leaders of the party who he claimed condemned Alistair Nelson when he and others were being tried over contempt charges at the Supreme court.

“I wept the whole night because I put myself in the position that once you have been convicted you’re left alone, and those that you expect to come and show you love will abandon you. Can you believe Ako Gunn, speaks for the party; Alistair is a PPP but passionate towards NDC, and Mugabe is our mouth piece whether we like it or not, but if we hear certain utterances that some people who benefit directly from our government have made to Alistair, If i get the opportunity I’ll slap them,” Atubiga told Fiifi Banson on Anopa Kasapa on Kasapa 102.5 FM Thursday.

According to him, instead of such people who are at the helm of affairs to speak to defend the three they were rather ignorantly rebuking some of them for fighting the course of the party.

“Some of the leaders of the party have sadly turned their back against Salifu Maase and co. It was a political war they were fighting and was for a strategic reason in the interest of the party. If you don’t understand the game you’ll criticize blindly. Yes they have done that; was it right? NO but they were fighting the course of the party, he explained.

He said but for the timely intervention of the national leadership in issuing a prompt statement that condemned the sentencing of the three, there would have been chaos rocking the party by now.

Meanwhile Some NDC footsoldiers have hit the streets in protest of the Supreme Court sentencing of the Montie contemnors.

Salifu Maase popularly known as ‘Mugabe’ of Montie FM was sentenced a four-month jail term with two others after being convicted in a contempt case.

Alistair Nelson and Godwin Ako Gunn all belonging to the ruling NDC spewed threats of death to superior court justices on Live radio which Mugabe moderated last month on his Pampaso political show.

But the angry NDC members say they want the president to grant the contemnors a presidential pardon.
