The National Democratic Congress (NDC) wants the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) to �arrest� Hon. Kennedy Agyapong, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) MP for Assin North for making what they consider as a statement of intent likely to cause fear and panic.
Mr. Alfred Woyome, a staunch member of the ruling party and a philanthropist, believed to be a major financier of the Atta Mills campaign in the 2008 general elections, believes the NPP MP is planning to foment war in the country.
The Assin North MP earlier in the day issued a stern warning to the NDC saying if the ruling party does not abandon plans to rig the 2012 elections, Ghana would be plunge into a state of genocide like what transpired in the East African nation of Rwanda where an estimated 800,000 died in the 1994 mass murder.
�If we don�t have peaceful elections in this country and Koku Anyidoho thinks he can use the military, the macho men to intimidate and rig elections, Ghana would not be like Kenya, Ghana would be like Rwanda�We want peace, nobody wants to fight in this country�but an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth�this time we would not sit down for NDC to intimidate anybody, if they hit one we would hit three,� the NPP firebrand charged.
The Honorable Kennedy Agyapong�s comments was in the wake of threats by Koku Anyidoho, Communications Director at the Presidency, that the NDC would deal with the flagbearer of the NPP, Nana Akufo-Addo if he dares incite his supporters to engage in electoral violence next year.
The Communications Director at the Presidency, told London-based Focus Radio recently that Akufo-Addo, the NPP chairman Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey and former Chairman Peter Mac Manu may all die first if they persist with their �all-die-be-die� mantra.
