Johnson Asiedu Nketia of the NDC has complained to the international community that the emergence of political vigilantism in Ghana poses a serious threat to the peace and security of the country.
Addressing a meeting of the Council of the Socialist International (SI) in Barcelona, Spain, he said the current happening in Ghana has the tendency not only to disturb the peace of the country but adversely affect the country’s credentials as an oasis of peace in Africa.
Political parties from 73 countries, which are members of SI attended the two-day meeting. SI is a worldwide association of political parties, most of which seek to establish democratic socialism. It’s a union of democratic socialist, social-democratic and labour political parties and other organisations.

The NDC’s Secretary drew the attention of the Socialist International (SI) to the activities of the pro-New Patriotic Party (NPP) vigilante groups, citing recent activities of Invisible Forces, which he described as having effects on the development of the country.
According to him, research indicates that most wars and conflicts in Africa could be attributed to failure by governments to halt the activities of vigilantes. He, therefore, urged the international community to do whatever it takes to impress on the government of Ghana to act by stopping the activities of vigilantism in the country or declare itself incapable of ruling the country.

This is because “we handed over the country peacefully to the current government†and nothing should be done to disturb the peace, Asiedu Nketia stated.
The NDC General Secretary is expected to address the media on resolutions taken at the meeting on his arrival on Wednesday.
