Member of Parliament for Akuapem North, Sammi Awuku says after the brutality New Patriotic Party suffered at Ablekuma North, the John Dramani Mahama administration does not have any moral right to talk about Techiman South and Ayawaso West Wugon.
He says the administration cannot be silent on the brutality at the rerun and claim moral high ground when it suits them.
Awuku made this known in a post shared via social media.
He expressed shock over the loud silence of Civil Society which hitherto was loud on such happenings.
To him, this will not break the spirit of the NPP but rather will encourage them to build their party and make it stronger than before.
His post read “Yesterday’s electoral violence incident at Ablekuma North is deeply troubling. Politics should never be reduced to chaos, intimidation, or violence.
But let me also say this,
The NDC, particularly the Mahama-led administration, has no moral right to speak about Ayawaso West Wuogon or Techiman South after yesterday’s happenings.
You cannot remain silent in the face of yesterday’s misconduct carried out by individuals believed to be aligned with your party and then attempt to claim the high ground when it suits you. That selective outrage is loud and it is shameful.
Equally disappointing is the noisy silence of Civil Society and Advocacy groups, faith based leaders, and the National Peace Council.
Still, we as New Patriotic Party (NPP: Development in Freedom) cannot afford to be discouraged or divided. Yes, some of us are disappointed. Some of us have questions but the time to nag should be over.
It’s time to rebuild.
It’s time to energize the base.
It’s time to get back on the ground and reconnect with our people.
And by this, I’ll resume active media engagement starting on Peace FM on Monday.
It’s time to speak up, show up, and get to work.
We’ve done it before. We’ll do it again.
This is our party. This is our duty and this is the perfect moment to rebuild.
To my NPP folks:
Let us psyche ourselves and be fortified in our belief that as we embark on the reorganization of the Party when it is torn, it shall be mended; when broken, it shall be fixed; and when destroyed, it shall be rebuilt to achieve the much needed victory ahead of 2028.
To the Upper, Middle, and Professional classes, for any pain or disappointment caused, let me add my voice and apologize. We hear you. And we shall certainly learn from these past mistakes to guide future policies and programs.
Let’s rise peacefully, purposefully, and with unity.”
