Stephen Atubiga

I would have slapped NDC bigwigs who rebuked Alistair – Atubiga
NDC activist who was convicted for contempt in the
election petition case, Stephen Atubiga has
threatened to assault some national leaders of the
party who he claimed condemned Alistair Nelson
when he and others were being tried over contempt
charges at the Supreme court.

“I wept the whole night because I put myself in
the position that once you have been convicted
you’re left alone, and those that you expect to
come and show you love will abandon you. Can you
believe Ako Gunn, speaks for the party; Alistair
is a PPP but passionate towards NDC, and Mugabe is
our mouth piece whether we like it or not, but if
we hear certain utterances that some people who
benefit directly from our government have made to
Alistair, If i get the opportunity I’ll slap
them,” Atubiga told Fiifi Banson on Anopa Kasapa
on Kasapa 102.5 FM Thursday.

According to him, instead of such people who are
at the helm of affairs to speak to defend the
three they were rather ignorantly rebuking some of
them for fighting the course of the party.

“Some of the leaders of the party have sadly
turned their back against Salifu Maase and co. It
was a political war they were fighting and was for
a strategic reason in the interest of the party.
If you don’t understand the game you’ll
criticize blindly. Yes they have done that; was it
right? NO but they were fighting the course of the
party, he explained.

He said but for the timely intervention of the
national leadership in issuing a prompt statement
that condemned the sentencing of the three, there
would have been chaos rocking the party by now.

Meanwhile Some NDC footsoldiers have hit the
streets in protest of the Supreme Court sentencing
of the Montie contemnors.

Salifu Maase popularly known as ‘Mugabe’ of
Montie FM was sentenced a four-month jail term
with two others after being convicted in a
contempt case.

Alistair Nelson and Godwin Ako Gunn all belonging
to the ruling NDC spewed threats of death to
superior court justices on Live radio which Mugabe
moderated last month on his Pampaso political
show.

But the angry NDC members say they want the
president to grant the contemnors a presidential
pardon.
