The Northern Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Daniel Bugri Naabu has warned Sofo Azorka, the Northern Regional Chairman of the NDC not to dare repeat what he did during yesterday’s demonstration organized by the opposition political parties or else he will chase him out of the region.
The outspoken NPP chairman told Azorka and the NDC that he could make things difficult for them which could affect their campaign in the Northern region, Upper East and West region.
“Who does Azorka think he is to tell us that we cannot demonstrate? We controlled our boys who could have crushed the NDC into pieces in the interest of peace.
About 100 supporters of the NDC in party T-shirts, led by Chairman Sofo Azorka, clashed with the demonstrators yesterday.
But for the timely intervention of the leaders of the protest, there would have been bloodshed in Tamale.
Chairman Bugri told DAILY GUIDE that “the president should know that politics is not about my brother, father or uncle but has to do with the person who can do the work given him by Ghanaians.
It does not matter whether a president is from Akyem, Bole or Volta since Ghanaians voted for him.
He indicated that when the Supreme Court validated the election of President Mahama, Nana Addo who is peace-loving accepted the outcome to promote peace in the country.
Bugri Naabu thanked the police and the military for finally coming out to give protection to the demonstrators even though the NDC warned them not to do so.
Speaking to DAILY GUIDE, the Deputy Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Anthony AbayefaKarbo said that they have given the president a two-week ultimatum to reduce electricity and water tariffs in the northern region.
He indicated that if the president refuses to reduce the tariffs, they would organize a similar demonstration in the Upper East, Upper West and Western Region to compel the government to address their grievances.
“They tell us that it is our brother we voted as president, what kind of brother does not care about our mothers, fathers, uncles, youth and the businesses that are collapsing as a result of economic mismanagement’.
Anthony Abayefa Karbo mentioned that Nana Addo has consistently advocated for the poor in society.
He explained that Nigeria turned to a 72-year-old man to save them, South Africa turned to Nelson Mandela, 74, and Ivory Coast turned to 72-year old man to put the country on the right path.
“SADA is a sad story now, our own brothers, including the president and his classmates from GHANASCO came together and formed a board and shared the money to the extent that the president was embarrassed about it and when he came to the North, he failed to mention anything about SADA.”
