He said comments
by the two NDC gentlemen must be treated as treasonable.
His reactions
come after the NDC called for the immediate arrest and prosecution of Abetifi
lawmaker and minister of Foods and Agriculture, Bryan Acheampong over comments
the party describes as treasonable.
Acheampong
addressing party supporters at Mpraeso on Saturday, April 8, 2023, vowed that
the incumbent government will use any necessary means to remain in power come
2024.
He said
"The NPP will never hand over power to the NDC."
Reacting to the
comments, the NDC in a statement lashed out at the MP for instigating wildness
to rattle the results of the impending elections.

Frimpong in a statement said the NPP finds the NDC's statement not only
ill-founded, hypocritical, illogical, and baseless, but also one that lacks
contextual substance for the consumption of the discerning Ghanaians who are
not oblivious to the modus operandi of the main opposition party in
deliberately putting diabolic and mischievous slant to an otherwise innocuous
comment of the Member of Parliament in furtherance of their selfish political
interest.
He stated that
it is, in fact, a no secret that the NDC has always resorted to violence and
intimidation against their opponents during the conduct of general elections,
and this was summed up by their 2024 presumptive presidential candidate, John
Dramani Mahama.
He has stated
emphatically that: 'NDC has revolutionary root, and that when it comes to
unleashing violence, nobody can beat us [NDC] in unleashing violence'.
He further
stated that other leading members of the NDC, including Johnson Asiedu Nketia,
the national chairman of the party, have made similar threatening and malicious
comments. Indeed, following his election as National Chairman, Asiedu Nketia
stated in his victory speech that, the NDC would fight the 2024 general
elections to win a second independence for Ghana, and that, they are prepared
to sacrifice everything including their lives for an NDC victory.
