Former President John Mahama
"The initiative has been shown but I think the structure it suggests will not work. Just telling the NPP to invite your NDC brothers to sit down and see how you can ban the militia is too simplistic, "said former President John Mahama.
The former president reacted to a call by President Akufo-Addo to the two main political parties to dissolve the self-defense groups badociated with them.
President Akufo-Addo, in his third speech on the state of the nation (SoNA), told parliament Thursday that the ruling party, the New Patriotic Party (NPP), in power, and the main party The opposition, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), had to chart the way forward. the end of political violence mainly caused by self-defense groups. Otherwise, he would apply legislation to dissolve them himself.
"I wish to make a sincere and pbadionate appeal to the leaders of the two main political parties of our country – the NPP and the NDC – to meet as soon as possible, preferably next week, to agree on appropriate measures to put an end to this disturbing situation. . and an unacceptable phenomenon of vigilance in our body politic, "he said.
However, former President John Mahama said Friday morning on the Accra-based Gold Gold radio channel: "The two parties alone can not solve this problem, the vigilance groups are integrated into the security services and if you say that we need to dissolve it, it needs to involve other stakeholders, it will take other actors like the Peace Council to dissolve this issue, nuclear power plants and NDCs can not dissolve it alone, we should find a way to remove them from national security. "
He asked President Akufo-Addo to "take the initiative", because "it is the introduction of the Bolga Bull Dog of Akufo-Addo, among others, which provoked vigilance".
