‘NDC’s only crime is not putting Afenyo-Markin before court’ - Mustapha Gbande

The Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mustapha Gbande, has stated that the crime the current government has committed is not putting Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin before court. Speaking to media personality Roselyn Feli, Mustapha Gbande said that, based on what he knows about the Minority Leader, he should have been arraigned before court. “The only crime that our government has committed is that we haven’t put Afenyo-Markins in court. From what I know of him, and I have stated… I have stated before, and I don’t blame him too much, our colleagues who create comfort for him are the problem of this government,” he said. When the Deputy General Secretary of the NDC was asked what he knows about the Minority Leader, he answered, “So much.” 'I don't need to insult you to tell you the truth' – Mustapha Gbande The host pushed for Mustapha Gbande to mention what he knows about the Minority Leader which he believes should be making him face the law, but he refused to give details. Mustapha Gbande went on to claim that Afenyo-Markin, as the Minority Leader, is enjoying more than all his colleagues in opposition, adding that he blames some of his colleagues in the NDC who have created the leverage for the Minority Leader. “I’m saying that the last time I said that, no opposition member, and I repeat, no opposition member enjoys more than Afenyo-Markin under this government. And I blame our colleagues who create those leverages, you see. And such a person should not be out there accusing anybody,” he said. He further claimed that when former President Nana Akufo-Addo was in power, they investigated his government, insisting that he knows what he is talking about regarding the Minority Leader. “You see, when President Akufo-Addo was in government, we investigated his government. So, I know what I’m talking about…I’m saying that if Afenyo-Markins force us, we will go into the realities,” he noted. Mustapha Gbande went on to say that the Minority Leader’s threats against the Chief Executive Officer of the GoldBod will not let the NDC sacrifice him, stressing that Sammy Gyamfi had demonstrated impeccable responsibility. “So, his threats will not let anybody sacrifice Sammy Gyamfi. So far, in his imperfect nature as a young man, he’s demonstrated an impeccable discharge of responsibility that the NPP couldn’t do. Put the NPP and their cabinet together for eight years, couldn’t do,” he said. He further questioned “which wise opposition leader” threatens others. “In any case, which wise opposition leader threatens others? Which wise opposition leader does that? I’m learning from his politics, but it is a learning of what not to do than what to do,” he added. AK/AMSource: www.ghanaweb.com
