Acting National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Freddy Blay has described as “unfortunate” the recent attack on Mr George Adjei aimed at preventing him from discharging his duties as the Ashanti Regional Security Liaison Officer by some youth associated with the NPP.
He believes their action as a mark of gross disrespect to the office of the First Gentleman.
He was commenting on the arrest of one Kwadwo Bamba, 37, an auto mechanic, who led some well-built men of the Delta Force – the New Patriotic Party’s security arm in the region – to remove Mr Agyei from his office, on the grounds that he was not native to the region and played no part in the 2016 campaign, hence merits no appointment in the Akufo-Addo administration.
Bamba was arrested on Saturday but was granted bail by the Police on Monday
On Friday, March 24th, the ‘Delta Force’ group stormed the Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council to stop Mr George Adjei from performing his duties.
According to the group, they are not ready to work with a security coordinator who hails from another region other than the Ashanti.
Even though the security officer was appointed by President Nana Akufo Addo for the position, the youth was emphatic that they don’t need his service.
Speaking on NEAT FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’ Mr. Blay noted that “The entire party is not happy with what happened in Kumasi, the group disrespected the president and that is unfortunate.
To him, "what they did wasn’t proper!”
Meanwhile, Kwadwo Bamba has apologised to the president on behalf of Delta Force for their action.

Nii, you are being tribalistic . I watched Kwadwo Bamba's interview soon after the incident . They claimed during the the NPP's opposition, many of them were unjustifiable arrested by the politically motivated police in the area, and that it was one Mr. Mohammed who came to their rescue. Hence, they think he(Mohammed) will better serve them than Adjei.So it was not because of Mr. Adjei's tribe as the NDC -Ga youths did to the former president Kufuor.
What is the mans name?Adjei or Agyei
It is very wrong for some party members to take such entrenched positions in the party. They must respect the voting rights of many who contributed to the success of the party but are on the quiet side.They must be punished to serve as a deterrent to others.
Were you not the one who said there are protecting government properties? After emboldening them to misbehave, you now turned round to accuse them of disrespecting the first gentleman. Logically, per your first unfortunate comment, you were the first person to disrespect the president and most especially Ghanaians and they capitalized on your mindless position to continue to be on rampage. Now that things are getting out of hand you have turned as a chameleon accusing them of wrong doing. At this point, the only way to rein in these thugs is to disband the groups. They've so far beaten a police officer at flagstaff house, caused the death of students at kintampo as a result of their take over of the falls, beaten a national security coordinator and been on rampage seizing cars left right center. Freddie Blay, you must be ashamed of yourself. I you empower your young child to insult the elderly, how can you then come back to accuse him of being a nuisance. This is how tricksters operate. They cause confusion and cry wolf.
