NPP vigilantism: Leadership complicit – Kofi Adams

National Organiser of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Kofi Adams has said the silence of President Nana Akufo-Addo as well as the leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) over party-related violence across the country is disturbing.

“If truly the president is unhappy [about the vigilantism being perpetrated by NPP supporters] we should have been seeing some more action than we are seeing. I don’t believe that the president is unhappy”, Mr Adams said on Saturday, 28 October.

Citing 18 cases of pro-NPP vigilantism since the party won the 2016 elections, Mr Adams said the president has done little to ensure that the chaos perpetrated by NPP vigilante groups is stopped.

“I don’t think that they [youth] are just acting based on nothing…I think that leadership is complicit in this matter,” he added in a discussion on Joy TV's Newsfile.
