The General Secretary of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Frimpong Kodua, has stated that the party is willing and ready to assist the government in bringing an end to the prolonged conflict in Bawku.
Speaking at a press conference in Accra on Tuesday, July 29, Mr Kodua expressed deep concern over the worsening security situation in Bawku, describing it as an “unprecedented crisis”, and blamed the current tensions on what he alleged were politically driven tribal divisions fuelled by the NDC in the lead-up to the 2024 general elections.
“We can tell that indeed the NDC orchestrated several tribal issues in Bawku. And that is why we find ourselves in this unprecedented crisis,” he remarked.
However, he was quick to shift focus to the NPP’s commitment to national stability and peacebuilding, saying the party is prepared to collaborate with the current administration in any effort aimed at resolving the crisis.
“But for us in the New Patriotic Party, for the sake of our democracy, for the sake of people’s lives that matter, we are ever ready to assist the government in finding a lasting solution in Bawku,” Mr Kodua affirmed.
He appealed to the NDC government to rise above partisan considerations and tackle the situation with the seriousness and neutrality it demands.
“We are calling on the NDC government to treat this matter as a matter of national interest and shield away their political tendencies and interest,” he said.
