The Ashanti Regional Organiser for the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Francis Adomako, has urged all peace-loving Ghanaians, especially the National Peace Council (NPC), civil society organisations (CSOs), religious leaders, among others, to condemn and call for the arrest of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Tamale South Constituency Chairman, Zaa Nyaya, who has boldly revealed that they (NDC members) have piled up weapons for the 2024 elections.

Dr. Adomako, popularly known as Francois, made the call on Wednesday,18th September,2024, in an interview.

According to him, the Ghana Police Service should have invited Zaa Nyaya by now for further investigation. He is also calling on Mr. John Mahama and the NDC to publicly distance themselves from the irresponsible statement made by the Tamale South NDC chairman if they are not involved in the piling up of weapons ahead of the December 7 polls.

He said he was not surprised at the disclosure made by the Tamale South NDC chairman, because the NPP is aware that the NDC, led by its flagbearer and former President of Ghana, John Mahama, is hatching an evil agenda against the Electoral Commission (EC), among others.

“I’ve already called on Ghanaians, especially first-time voters, to ignore Mr. John Mahama and the NDC because they have nothing new to offer, hence their preaching of violence. I’ve also urged Ghanaians to ignore NDC’s demonstration against the Electoral Commission over a forensic audit on the voters’ register because they (NDC members) have an evil agenda,” he said.

“The Tamale South NDC chairman has just vindicated me,” he added.

According to Dr. Adomako, Zaa Nyaya, in a story published on Tuesday, 17th September 2024, by Ghanaweb.com sourcing mynewsgh.com, is reported to have revealed that the NDC is fully prepared to confront the security agencies and the EC in the December 7 elections.

He claimed that the NDC was equipped with all the necessary tools for the elections, similar to that of the security agencies that would be present on election day.

“…we won’t allow NPP even one minute to rule this country again, so we’re giving the EC the signal that the police cannot protect them and so they should conduct free and fair elections … they have the option to do the right thing, otherwise we’re ready for whatever.
If they want us to fight, we’re ready to fight, I swear God. I told the police Commander that we are prepared for war from today till elections. The weapons they have, I swear, we also have same, so you wait during voting you will see,” Nyaya said.

The Tamale South NDC chairman made this declaration during the NDC’s “Enough is Enough” demonstration in Tamale when hundreds of residents took to the streets to protest against the EC for refusing to allow a forensic audit on the voters’ register.

It is against this backdrop that Dr. Adomako is urging CSOs, religious leaders, among others, to condemn the use of weapons by some NDC members ahead of the December 7 polls in an attempt to scare voters in the strongholds of the NPP.

Mr. Mahama is also expected to publicly distance himself from the statement of the party’s constituency chairman if he (Mahama) and the NDC leadership were not behind the irresponsible statement made by the constituency chairman.
