Nana B is a complete joke – NDC’s Ayisha Alhassan fires

A member of the National Democratic Congress’ communication team Ayisha Alhassan has said the New Patriotic Party’s National Organizer, Nana B is a joke. She was reacting to the latter’s petition to the CID to arrest former President Mahama for his “do or die” comment.

However, speaking on TV3’s Big Issue, Ayisha Alhassan described Henry Nana Boakye also known as Nana B a joke for even thinking of that.

According to Ayisha Alhassan, “It is a joke of the century. It is the funniest thing I have heard in these few days. Truth is one and those who beat war drums they usually don’t live to see the end.” 

Aside from John Mahama, the petition by Nana B also called for the arrest of Johnson Aseidu Nketiah, the National Chairman of the NDC.

“I write to formally petition the Criminal Investigation Department of the Ghana Police Service, for the arrest, investigation and prosecution of H.E. John Dramani Mahama and Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, the National Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) for treasonable and offensive conduct conducive to breaches of the peace contrary to Sections 180 and 207 of the Criminal Offenses Act, 1960 (ACT 29) respectively, and which offences are to be dealt with pursuant to Section 1 of the Criminal and Other Offences (Procedure) Act, 1960 (ACT 30),” parts of Nana B’s statement read.

According to him, “Former President John Dramani Mahama, without regard to his stature as a statesman, proudly touted across various platforms, the revolutionary root of the NDC and their unparalleled capacity when it comes to unleashing violence for political gain.

“Further to this, are his comments to the effect that the NDC’s approach to the elections of 2024 shall be one of “do or die” and “boot-for-boot”. Invariably, this speaks to their unwavering resolve to use fair or foul means to procure electoral advantage regardless of the consequences.

“When he was asked during a media interview what he meant by “boot-for- boot’ and ‘do or die’, and whether with the benefit of hindsight, he would want to retract those incendiary comments, John Dramani Mahama insisted that he meant what he said and that he was never going to retract”.

Also, Nana B said, “On the part of Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, he has repeatedly threatened fire and brimstone to ensure the victory of the NDC in the 2024 general elections. He has disclosed that the elections shall be bloody and that his party was willing and ready to sacrifice lives to ensure their victory in 2024.

According to the petition, Aseidu Nketiah “…is on record to have stated unequivocally during his victory speech following his election as the National Chairman of the NDC, on December 18, 2022, that, it was time for members of the NDC to continue the fight to win the second Independence of Ghana, and that, they are prepared to sacrifice everything including their lives for an NDC victory in the 2024 general elections”.

Meanwhile, the NDC led by its Director of Legal Affairs, Abraham Amaliba has also petitioned the police to arrest NPP’s Bryan Acheampong. The Deputy Minister told his constituents that the NDC will collapse while adding that the NPP will do everything to stay in power beyond 2024.

“NDC party will collapse. If the NDC dares to use threats, Violence and foolishness in the 2024 election we will let them know we have the men. We will show them that we have the men. We have the men,” he remarked.

Stressing on it, Bryan Acheampong said, “It will never happen that we the NPP will stand on a platform to hand over power to the NDC. It will never happen! We will make sure NPP remain in government at all cost”.

“Now with the way things are changing the economy will bounce back again, I am telling you that we are going to come around that curve and we are going to win the 2024 elections hands down,” he stressed
