As for this one, only a senseless person will sit idle and watch a thief man steal. Break their forking necks if they attempt to snatch any ballot boxes. Ghanaians have suffered enough under these Ndc armed robbers.

IF YOU WAN TO KNOW HOW CORRUPT THE EC OFFICIALS ARE THEN READ THE FOLLOWING:
The Member of Parliament (MP) for Afram Plains South, Joseph Appiah Boateng, has threatened to sue the Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana if it does not come out to clear the controversy surrounding the filing of nomination of two NDC candidates for the area.

On the deadline of submission of nomination forms for parliamentary candidates, two stalwarts from the NDC filed to contest the Afram Plains South seat following the resignation of Mr. Boateng, to contest for a second time.

The two, Mark-Oliver Kevor, the Eastern Regional Secretary of the NDC and Eric Osei-Owusu are all said to have filed their nomination at the same time but the Returning Officer for the area announced the former as the candidate for the Akatamansonians after scrutinizing his forms.

Kevor, according to inside sources, was given the mandate to file on the ticket of the Akatamansonians by the National Chairman of the NDC, Kofi Portuphy.

However, Eric Osei-Owusu who contested the incumbent MP but lost, according to party officials, was also given the mandate to file by the party’s Chief Scribe, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, popularly known as General Mosquito.

The two candidates have been campaigning simultaneously as the NDC parliamentary candidate for the area.

Party officials in the Afram Plains South have for the past three weeks, been putting pressure on the National Executives of the party to settle matter as soon as possible or risk losing the seat to the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).

The MP on Thursday, October 13, 2016 gave the EC a 48-hour ultimatum to publicly announce the candidate who filed to contest on the ticket of the NDC. Failure to do so, he added, will see the EC being dragged to court.

But Mr. Nketiah commenting on the issue in an interaction with sit-in host, Kwaku Owusu Agyei, on Anopa Kasapa on Kasapa 102.5 FM, Monday, said Eric Osei-Owusu is the candidate the party has sanctioned to represent the Afram Plains South.

“If you go to the records of the Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana, the one who has filed in the name of the NDC and who has been given the power to represent the party is Eric Osei-Owusu,” he announced.

Asked whether he is aware that Mr. Portuphy has also sanctioned the candidacy of Mark-Oliver Kevor, he retorted “We don’t have such in the records of the NDC.”

Mr. Boateng reacting to the comments of his party’s Chief Scribe on the problem said the EC has more questions to answer regarding the eligibility of Eric Osei-Owusu to contest the Afram Plains South parliamentary seat.

He told Owusu Adjei that as at the time of close of nomination, the CEO of Ghana Buffer Stock had not filed his nomination and therefore wondered how Mr. Osei-Owusu got that opportunity to represent the party.

“As at the close of nomination on the deadline date, September 30, 2016, Osei-Owusu had not filed his nomination. The EC closed at 5:00pm. And at 5:30pm, the EC announced that three candidates including Mark-Oliver Kevor had filed their nominations. So, I am wondering how Osei-Owusu filed his nomination.”

“The EC must tell us the date it opened their offices for Osei-Owusu to file his nomination. Again, as at the close of nomination, Osei-Owusu had not transferred his vote to the constituency. So, the EC must tell us when it transferred the vote of Osei-Owusu to the constituency. I want the EC to come out to explain itself on the matter or face court action,” he noted.

When I was young there was this guy in our neighborhood who threatened everyone with violence. He would say something like this "If you come around our house a make noise I will beat the hell out of you". "If you are men come and face me and my boys and we will teach you a lesson". One day a guy from our camp picked a quarrel a guy from the bully's camp. The other guy was the first to slap the guy from our camp. The guy from our camp gave his opponent a great hell of a beating. He ran to the bully and reported the matter to him. The bully came roaring like a lion. The other guy from our camp was just calm. When the bully threw the first blow that was the end of him. He was beaten so mercilessly that he had to vacate the neighborhood out of shame. So Bugri Naabu keep threatening everyone with violence and on the day of reckoning you will be alive to tell your grand children how sweet it is to be a coward warmonger.

Being aa fool Nigerian naabu has suddenly forgotten what sent him into exile from Tamale. History can easily repeat it self. He should as well prepare 40 coffins per polling station down. Any stranger found loitering without good reason at any place would be eliminated. He can bring 400 macho men, we are prepared for them.

Bugri is an unrepentant instigator of violence. He is steeped in using not his brain but brute beastly brawn to achieve his electoral dreams.

We must all be alert to the danger he is espousing. Sending any personnel who has not been authorized and approved by the Inter-Party Electoral Committee to supervise or monitor the Elections at Polls is tantamount to intimidation and must be illegal.

It is also a dangerous violence- baiting supposition that must be vehemently rejected by all Peace-loving Ghanaians, irrespective of Party. The presence of such hooliganistic, illicit monitors at our Poll Stations could trigger confrontation with Opposing Party members.

A similar insidious call has been made by Donald Trump, the USA Conservative Presidential candidate regarding the US Elections on November 8, and has received a massive National criticism.

The only good thing about Trump's call is that there exists a Court-issued Consent Decree that both the Republicans and the Democrats signed in the 80s, to ban exactly what Trump is asking for, following a similar behavior by the Republicans. Folks who know of that Decree hint that the Decree is supposed to end in December 2017 but if Trump causes any such surveillance of the Elections by illegal entities this November, the Decree would have to automatically continue till 2025, and the culprits would face the book.

In Ghana, we may not have any such Consent Decree passed on that specific intimidation tactic. But our Laws could permit the EC and the State Security Agencies to remove anyone who has not been approved by our Laws to impose his or her presence around the Polling Stations.

The first person to arrest, should violence break out of our Elections is Bugri Naabu. He must have already etched out his route for escape, knowing exactly what he has planned for could set the Nation ablaze. So, the Security Agencies must watch him closely to stop him slipping out of the country, if such an emergency arises.

Long Live Ghana!!!
