The Ashanti Regional branch of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), is accusing President Mahama of malice for asking\u00a0the police administration to ensure that killers of the Asawase NPP member, who was stabbed are apprehended \u00a0and made to face the law.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”BqmDCsEOz3f7PGrDAiVB1D5jDL9BOE8U”]The 37-year- old was stabbed<\/a><\/strong> <\/span>to death last Friday by unknown assailants for allegedly threatening to beat up the Constituency Chairman, who is believed to have made unpleasant comments about the flagbearer of the party, Nana Akuffo-Addo.<\/p>\n

The President while in the Upper West Region said, \u201cI\u2019ve asked the Police to investigate<\/a><\/strong><\/span> and find those who did it and bring them to book.\u201d<\/p>\n

But speaking to Citi News<\/strong>, the regional Youth Organizer of the NPP, Justin Koduah, said the president’s call should be disregarded since it is not sincere.<\/p>\n

He said \u201cif the first gentleman in the land makes such a call by virtue of his position and with respect for that position it will be a welcome call, but having said that, let \u00a0us ask ourselves whether the president is speaking out of good faith or out of political malice.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added \u201clet us not forget that even in NDC in the Ahafo Ano North constituency where there was a confrontation between the chairman and the treasurer which resulted in injuries\u00a0to the chairman, we did not hear the president speak about it. So in a nutshell, we can say that the president\u2019s action is out of malice and political propaganda which the NPP as a party will not take serious,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n
