The Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has reacted to the removal of posters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) from some state equipment by NDC youth.
In a video circulating on social media, Asiedu Nketiah was seen addressing some party supporters. In his speech, he supported the removal of NPP posters from District Road Improvement Project (DRIP) machines by NDC youth.
He stated that the youth will continue to tear off these posters whenever they encounter them on the machines.
Asiedu Nketiah’s support comes amid rising tensions between the two major political parties ahead of the December 2024 general elections.
The NDC Chairman emphasised that the removal of the posters is a justified response to what he perceives as the NPP’s misuse of public resources for political gain.
“If you have used our money to purchase this equipment to construct our roads, and you put NPP stickers on them, we will remove them whenever we see them,” he remarked.
