Stop creating tension in the country -Alottey Jacobs tells NPP

A leading member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Allotey Jacobs has

cautioned the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to stop causing alarm fear and panic in

the country. He alleged that media reports on an armed robbery gang that forced

male passengers on an inter-city bus to rape female passengers on the bus is a

concoction of the NPP to cause fear and panic in the country.

He said ‘the NPP is frustrated and desperate in opposition thus their resolve to

fabricate stories to tarnish the image of government’’. In an interview with

Radio Gold over the alleged rape case on the bus Mr. Allotey Jacobs said that

though the NPP succeeded in destroying Dr. Kwame Nkrumah with fabrications of

this nature they will fail this time around.

Allotey Jacobs stated that such fabrications will not stop or discourage

President Mills from delivering on his Promise to Ghanaians. ‘’President Mills

have a mandate to deliver on the better Ghana manifesto that shot him to power

and no amount of infantile politicking will derail his focus’’ Allotey Jacobs

said.

I want to urge Ghanaians to ignore these lies and fabrications from the

detractors, ‘’they have a penchant of using fabrications and concoctions to make

government’s unpopular, and these we must all be watchful that they don’t

succeed this time round. Mr Jacobs noted.

He warned the opposition NPP to stop creating fear, alarm and panic in the

country. ‘’What at all are they (NPP) trying to do? Their attitude to this

particular fabrication will put fear and tension among Ghanaians who want to

travel to their villages for festivals, weddings and other important occasions’’

On why he thinks the NPP is behind the story Alottey Jacobs stated that, ‘’the

NPP are frustrated and desperate thus they will go all out to tarnish the image

of government, very unfortunate indeed’’ Allotey fumed. He said ‘if you have a

party with people like Jake Obetsebi Lamptey, Sir John and Akufo Addo as leaders

trust me they are desperate for political power’.

He called on the media not to interfere in the work of the security services but

help them ensure law and order at all times.
