Henry Nana Boakye, the National Organizer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), has hinted at the party’s plan to file a petition with the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for the arrest and indictment of former President John Dramani Mahama over his atrocious ‘do-or-die’ comment.
Mr Mahama, according to Nana Boakye, should be apprehended for inciting militancy.
He clarified that the petition also cited the NDC’s National Chairman, Mr Johnson Asiedu Nketia, for urging party supporters to give their lives for the NDC’s victory in the 2024 general elections.
Mr. Mahama before the 2020 general elections said the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will face the NPP boot for boot if they attempt to intimidate them with hoodlums.
Mr Boakye gave these hints while speaking in an interview on Accra-based Citi FM on Tuesday, April 2023.
According to the NPP National Organiser, “former President, John Mahama, is on record to have said for the 2020 general elections, it’s boot for boot, and 2024 general elections it’s going to be a do-or-die affair” insisting that those utterances could incite violence in the country.
He disclosed, “We [NPP] are forwarding a petition to the police CID.
“We are calling for the immediate arrest, investigation and prosecution of former President John Dramani Mahama for all these comments that he has made.
“We are of the view that it undermines national security and the peace that we are enjoying, it undermines our democratic stability”.
