Military disperses irate NDC youth at Ghana Gas Office

The Military have been deployed to the head office of the Ghana National Gas Company Limited to disperse the irate youth of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) who besieged the premises on Tuesday, December 10.

TV3’s Godwin Asidiba who was at the scene reported that the irate youth created discomfort for residents of the area.

A leading member of the NDC Mr Kojo Twum Boafo who is a resident of the area visited the scene to attempt to talk to the youth to stop their action.

He told Godwin Asidiba that “the youth are not helping president-elect Mahama with this kind of conduct. Let us not create koe problems for him that he will resolve.

“Don’t emulate Abronye’s attitude. In 2016 Abronye of the NPP was chasing people seeing their cars and properties.. We understand your anger but don’t attack state installations.”

North Tongu lawmaker Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa also condemned the irate youth. He said that such conduct is not the character of the leader of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) John Dramani Mahama therefore it should stop.

Speaking on TV3 Tuesday, December 10, he said “if you are arrested don’t expect any of us to come and defend you because what you have done you don’t have our permission to do that.

“Our leader is a peaceful leader, and so you have to be law-abiding in celebration. Don’t take over state institutions.”

In a video, the youth were captured attempting to forcibly open the main gate to the premises. This action comes despite calls from NDC National Communications Officer Sammy Gyamfi for supporters to celebrate their victory in the presidential and parliamentary elections with moderation.

Sammy Gyamfi’s appeal followed reports of violence and the tragic deaths of two NDC supporters in Akomadan. Addressing the media in Accra on Monday, Gyamfi emphasized the importance of responsible celebration.

“Exercise restraint in your celebration. We must show that we are responsible citizens. You can’t engage in vandalism, attacks, or looting state properties; it is against the law. Ours is a law-abiding party. We want you to live to see Mahama sworn into office,” Gyamfi stated.

He further urged supporters not to attack any state institutions and to jubilate responsibly.
