The Opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) on has petitioned the International Community to intervene in what they described as ‘’irresponsible lawless conduct’’ of the NPP’s invincible forces.

According to Deputy General Secretary of the opposition NDC Koku Anyidoho, comments made by the Acting Chairman of the ruling NPP Freddie Blay that NPP supporters seizing property are only doing so to protect them is reckless and affirms that the invincible forces are fully being backed to do what they are have started.

He added that the support by the leadership of the ruling NPP “is the more reason why we are compelled to approach the diplomatic community, because if the whole Acting Chairman is in full support of the lawlessness from the invincible forces, then we have no option. The invincible forces worked for both Nana Addo and Freddie Blay in opposition.

So if Freddie Blay is openly in support of the lawlessness of the invincible forces, it makes it more compelling for us to draw the attention of the International Community to the irresponsible conduct of the Acting Chairman of the ruling party.’’ He [Blay] made reckless and unfortunate utterances…The President is not talking. Everybody knows that the invincible forces are drawing their powers from him [Nana Addo]. And so it is important we draw the attention of the whole world,’’

Speaking on Rainbow Radio, Koku Anyidoho highlighted the need for President Nana Akufo-Addo to condemn the act saying, irrespective of the fact that  Nana Addo swore to protect all manner of persons when he was inaugurated, his government is acting outside the law and the whole world must know.

He added that the fact that similar incidents occurred in 2001 and 2009 should not warrant the unlawful attacks this year. According to Koku Anyidoho, The Transition Act does not allow for people to seize state facilities because there have been change in government.

Deputy General Secretary of the opposition NDC stated that, the NDC supporters cannot afford to allow the NPP to continue attacking them but will defend themselves before resorting to the police. "Let us not joke with what is happening especially when you have Freddie Blay supporting the lawlessness of the invincible forces.’’
