MP decries the removal of NPP's billboards

Bibiani (W/R), Aug 20, GNA - The Member of Parliament (MP) for Bibiani-Anhwiaso-Bekwai, Mr Christopher Addae, has expressed concern about what he said was the removal of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) campaign billboards in the area.

He described this as both unlawful and a political provocation, which must be stopped.

Addressing a press, Mr Addae counseled against acts that are likely to stir needless political tension and undermine the peace in the area.

He said what they found disgusting was that the takedowns were at the instance of the District Chief Executive with the police providing security cover for the illegal exercise.

The MP demanded their immediate return in the interest of peace.

He said the NPP would not be intimidated and there was therefore no point for anyone to dare doing that.

Mr Addae also appealed to the police in the area to remain politically neutral and ensure high standards of professionalism.
