Many leading members of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), on Thursday, joined hundreds of Ghanaians to protest the state of insecurity in the country.
The protest, convened by Bernard Mornah, the National Chairman of the People’s National Convention (PNC), was christened ‘aagbe wↄ’, Ga for ‘they are killing us.’
The protestors were clad in red and black and held placards with inscriptions such as “Ghana beyond Delta Forces’, ‘Bloody MP’, ‘Ghana beyond violence’, ‘Bryan is evil’, ‘family and friends government’, ‘Boot 4 boot’, ‘Ghana is no longer safe’, ‘IGP must go’ among others.
Key political figures sighted at the demonstration include NDC General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, MP for Ningo Prampram, Sam George, former Ministers of State under the NDC government, Sherry Ayitey and Nana Oye Lithur and former AMA Chief Executive, Alfred Oko Vanderpuije.
Others include the NDC’s National Women Organiser, Hanna Bisiw, NDC flagbearer hopeful Sylvester Mensah; MP for Klottey Korle, Zanetor Rawlings, MP for Sagnarigu, A.B.A Fuseini, NDC National Chairman, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo and NDC Deputy Youth Organizer, Eric Edem Agbana.
Most members of the NDC may have been encouraged to join in the protest after the former president and flagbearer hopeful, John Mahama endorsed the demonstration and urged the party folks to join and actively participate in it.
