We Aren’t Safe Under Mahama - Wontumi
After carefully studying and analysing the trend
of murder cases being recorded in Ghana lately,
the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic
Party has observed the nation has reached this
frightening point because President Mahama
hasn’t made security his top most priority.

Mr. Bernard Antwi Boasiako believes the lack of
commitment on the side of President Mahama to
ensure Ghanaians are soundly protected by our
security agencies, has motivated murderers to take
advantage of the situation.

In a statement copied to Peacefmonline.com, the
Ashanti Regional Chairman for the NPP charged the
president to equip the police and other security
agencies with the necessary gadgets and items
needed to make them efficient when it comes to
tracking down murderers.

Below is a copy of his statement:
As a country, we have witnessed series of
assassination attacks under the leadership of
President Mahama and it's about time we come out
strongly to ask these few questions as Ghanaians!

President Mahama and his NDC and everybody admits
that the country has been engulfed with gross
corruption, hardships, poor governance and couples
of misfortunes but, the least we expected to add
up: is the country's security threats and his poor
commitment to protect the citizenry.

As the commander in chief of our security forces,
we think it's prudent to question the president on
matters of our safety when we feel unsafe.

We can't just sit down with our arms folded to
allow these forms of misfortunes to continually
happen all because the commander in chief of our
security forces is not actively performing his
roles.

Who knows who is next?
Amongst all these unfortunate happenings under
your watch as a president, what measures have you
put in place to abate a possible reoccurrence
considering the under listed unfortunate
assassinations attacks on innocent Ghanaians?

Traditional Area, Naa Dasana Andani, killed.

Dec 5, 2014 ~ The Branch Manager of Ecobank Ghana

Ghana deserves a leader who cares and for once we
ask you to care about us as you prepare to exit
power.

I believe you must leave a legacy before exiting
power and I think you can do that by
strengthening, investigating and protecting the
citizenry for once in your few months stay in
office.

I further extent my condolence to the family of
J.B Dankwah and the people of Abuakwa North and as
well all families who have lost their relatives
due to President Mahama's failure to ensure his
constitutional mandate of care to the citizenry. I
share with you all

Signed...
Bernard Antwi Boasiako
(Chairman Wontumi)
Ashanti Regional chairman, NPP
