Former Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports, Joseph Yamin
The decision to dissolve or not the self-defense groups in the country is now a source of confusion within the higher echelons of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
While Joseph Yammin, considered the sponsor of the main self-defense group, the fictitious militant group, promised that the NDC will not dissolve the groups, the party's top leaders have disbadociated themselves from office.
As a leading member of the party, his remarks of course represent the party's position.
"The Hawks are a recognized working group of the NDC party. They fulfill roles of party members and ensure the security of the party, "he said.
His statement, "The NDC Will Not Dissolve Hawks Today, Tomorrow, or Never" on a Kumasi – based radio station, does not help the already altered NDC image, of any kind. where apparent dissociation.
Dissociation
Even before the ink dries on Yammin's shine, the direction of the NDC has gone out to dissociate itself from its position.
According to a statement on the matter, the NDC has taken a firm stance on Yammin's position regarding the dismantling of vigilante groups in the country.
He was summoned to Accra to answer questions about his statement "The NDC will not fire guards today, tomorrow or ever".
Strong and clear
"The National Democratic Congress has seen several media publications attributed to a party member, Mr. Joseph Yammin. The NDC Executive Committee wishes to state unequivocally that the above statement in no way represents the views and / or position of the party. The party wishes to reiterate its unwavering commitment to the process of dissolving all the country's political militia and militia groups, "NDC Secretary-General Johnson Asiedu Nketia said in a statement.
It is interesting to note that this is the first time the NDC has openly stated that it is determined to dismantle self-defense groups in the country.
When Yammin mandates the convening of the functional executive committee of the party, he can do two things: shut up and dissolve the group of self-defense groups or stay on his positions and continue to support his Hawks whom he sponsors anyway .
About turning
Mr. Yammin fled his position even before the dust settled.
Yesterday, he reportedly told a Kumasi radio station that "the party has summoned me for a meeting about false allegations that I would say the NDC will not dismantle the Hawks".
To deny what he said earlier and that was recorded is another segment of the confusion that has afflicted the party.
"I did not make this comment, so I am wrongly accused. I will do everything in my power to defend myself and erase my name, "he said.
Continuing, he said: "I said that the Hawks are not a self – defense group, so they can not be part of the self – defense groups that must be dissolved in the US." State."
Interesting
It seems absurd that Yammin did not deny the story as reported by the media until the functional executive committee of his party summoned him to Accra.
Doubts
Some observers believe that, given the revolutionary track record of the NDC, that former President John Mahama does not hesitate to brag about, the dismantling of self-defense groups is a public manifestation and a waterfall of public relations.
Anyway, outright disapproving of the disagreement with Yammin could be a trick anyway, as the party has suffered significant public relations blues due to the escape of Ofosu-Ampofo sound.
