The Ashanti Regional Organiser for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Francis Adomako, popularly known as Francois, has called on the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr George Akuffo Dampare, and his men, especially in the Ashanti Region, to act proactively to stop the persistent attacks on innocent people and state properties by National Democratic Congress (NDC) thugs.
According to him, the police service and other security agencies have sat on the fence for far too long to allow NDC members to continue to take the law into their own hands after the 2024 general election.
Speaking to “The New Trust” newspaper on Tuesday, 14th January 2025, the industrious Ashanti Regional NPP Organiser said this was their (NPP members) final notice to the police service and other security agencies that if they continue to sit down unconcerned to stop the attacks on innocent people and state properties by NDC members, they will also mobilise their members to defend themselves.
He said instead of the NDC leadership to advise and call their members to order and let them wait for jobs from Mahama’s 24-hour economy promise, they are silent.
Francois asked, “Why can’t NDC members wait to get jobs from the implementation of Mahama’s 24-hour economy but are rather bent on attacking and sacking innocent Ghanaian workers from their workplaces?”

It is therefore,the backdrop, Francois renewed his called on
nananom, pastors, imams, zongo chiefs, the media and leaders of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to rise up and speak against the attack on some people and the destruction of state properties by some members of the NDC.
According to him, Ghanaians have spoken and President John Mahama has won the 2024 presidential election, with the NDC having an overwhelming majority in Parliament.
“l believe it should end there. Today you see NDC youths entering organisations and sacking all workers and destroying properties but no one is talking about it. Unfortunately, even NDC leaders have kept quiet and these youths have taken the law into their own hands and doing what pleases them,” he pointed out.
Francois, who doubles as the Dean of all Regional Organisers, expressed worry that the NDC youth are destroying public properties, destroying NPP properties and threatening public officials in their various workplaces.
The Ashanti NPP Organiser added, “I don’t think this is right. The NDC government has promised a 24-hour economy and we are all waiting for the government to create employment for its teeming youths and not to go about it this way.”
Dr. Adomako, therefore, called on the NDC leadership to speak to their youths, else the NPP would retaliate.
He questioned the whereabouts of the security agencies, the Peace Council, chiefs, civil society organisations, the media and development partners.
“Let’s start talking and let’s put a stop to it. What is going on doesn’t help anyone. Even national service personnel are being chased out of offices and everyone is quiet; this is not helpful,” he added.
