We'll deal ruthlesly with and crush imposters to ashes - AFAG warns

Pressure group, Alliance for Accountable Governance (AFAG), is raising red flags over what it says is the decision by a faceless group to sabotage their planned 'Atta Wayo Demonstration' on Wednesday, in protest of fuel price increases and the controversy surrounding the payment of judgement debts to NDC financier, Alfred Woyome.

In a statement signed by some of its leading members, the group said: “credible information available to the Alliance for Accountable Governance (AFAG) indicates that some unscrupulous persons sympathetic to Mr. Alfred Woyome, the renowned NDC financier and beneficiary of a whooping sum of GHS 58.0 million (580 Billion Cedis) of the tax payer's money, are feverishly organizing and arming themselves to cause and create unwarranted confusion on the day of the 'Atta Wayo Demontration' by way of a counter demonstration.”

The statement warned that “AFAG is fully prepared for the occasion and will as a result not hesitate to smoke out, deal ruthlessly with and crush to ashes any imposter who sets out to foment trouble.“

The statement said the attempt to disrupt the demonstration is “a grand machination by the powers that be to derail the focus of AFAG from throwing more light on the corrupt deeds of the NDC government.”

The group said they have concluded every arrangement with the police as required by the Public Order Act and that any other group that would want to stage a demonstration should be law abiding and clear their plans with the police.

“We entreat any group of persons including those sympathetic to Mr. Alfred Woyome and by extension, the Mills-Mahama government interested in demonstrating to take note and follow due process.

“Again, as AFAG, we regard the impending demonstration as a rather sensitive one, given the fact that the issues involved are ones which directly touches on the lives of millions of Ghanaians who reposed their trust in then candidate Mills in anticipation of a better Ghana only to be 'WOYOMIZED' by now president Mills,” the statement added.

The group however promised to ensure the safety of the general public and is thus, inviting the general public to join in the protest against what it describes as the “gross mismanagement and 'killer' policies of the Mills-Mahama government.”
