Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mustapha Gbande, has strongly rejected allegations linking him to violent incidents during the Ablekuma North parliamentary rerun.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Mr. Gbande dismissed claims by the Minority Caucus in Parliament led by Alexander Afenyo-Markin that he and NDC Deputy National Communications Officer Malik Basintale incited unrest during the July 11 polls.
“I am not a coward. Even if my name appears on their list, I am not afraid of anyone in the NPP. If you want to come after me, do so directly. But don’t accuse me of something I haven’t done,” he said.
He also questioned the accuracy of the Minority’s statement, claiming it was rushed and not based on verified facts.
“Administratively, you don’t rush to release statements without proper information. I showed the Minority Leader evidence that he was misled, but he still insisted on his claims,” Gbande stated.
He further accused the NPP of circulating posters of NDC members with inscriptions reading “wanted, alive or dead” a move he says is reckless and dangerous.
“If anything happens to any of our boys, we will hold the NPP responsible. Their party headquarters is not a police station,” he warned.
Mr. Gbande called for calm and responsible political conduct, urging leaders to avoid inciting tensions that could endanger lives.
