The Parliamentary Candidate for Asuogyaman Constituency on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Pius Enam Hadzide has called on the Ghana Police Service to as a matter of urgency arrest Thomas Ampem Nyarko.
His call comes after Ampem Nyarko who is the Member of Parliament for the area is alleged to have assaulted some agents tasked to monitor the ongoing limited voters’ registration exercise in the area.
MR. Enam Hadzide, giving an account said, the incumbent MP hired some thugs to go and attack the said agents in question at their abode in which he provided for them.
Following this, the NPP PC added that he quickly reported the matter to the police where Thomas Ampem Nyarko in his statement indicated that the victims were speaking Ewe dialect therefore he saw them as aliens to the constituency, reason for his actions.
But to Pius Hadzide, he could not fathom why a lawmaker would commit to such behaviour since Ewes are not foreigners in the area.
Against this backdrop, he believes the latter must be call to order by arresting him and made him face the full rigours of the law because nobody is superior to the laws governing the country.
The situation, he described as very disheartening and uncalled-for to see an MP involved in such violence and tribalistic practices.
Enam Hadzide who doubles as the Chief Executive Officer for the National Youth Authority furthered by calling out the MP and urge him to publicly render an unqualified apology to the people of Asuogyaman for his reckless actions.
“When they voted him twice to go represent them in Parliament in 2016 and 2020 he didn’t say they are aliens but today that their brother has come to contest him for the Parliamentary seat and rallying their support behind him look at what he is telling them,” he added.
He however stressed that should Thomas Ampem Ampem fails to render an apology and retract his tribal statement, the true royals of Asuogyaman will made him smell pepper.
“Thomas Ampem Nyarko has realized that his days as Member of Parliament for the Constituency are numbered that is why he wanted to create confusion among the constituents of Asuogyaman but that devilish plan won’t work,” he continued.
Pius Enam Hadzide emphatically hinted that the wind blowing shows that the people of Asuogyaman had made up their mind to vote against Ampem Nyarko come the election 2024 due to lack of infrastructure projects in the project under their leadership.
Pius Enam Hadzide made this known to Kingdom FM’s KONTIHEN KOFI OBOH when he visited some registration centers in the constituency.
