The Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia has stated that members of the party will not allow the coercive powers of state to be used against them.
He said Ghanaians are in bondage, thus the NDC as the main opposition party, will ensure that there is freedom in the country.
“The laws of the country are meant for all of us. There should be no discrimination in applying them. We will not be victims of the peace that the country enjoys. Freedom is not free. We will fight for freedom. We will not allow the coercive powers of the state to be used against us,” he said at a press briefing held at the party’s headquarters on June 8 to announce the release of the parliamentary candidate for Awutu Senya East, Naa Koryoo Okunor, from police detention.
Mr Nketia urged the Ghana Police Service to be circumspect in the handling of issues of such nature in the lead up to the 2024 elections.
“We cannot go this way towards election 2024,” the NDC Chairman stated.
