According to a leaked audio recording, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has assembled troops of political vigilante groups to invade the Assin North Constituency of the Central Region as part of the party’s operational strategies to win the constituency’s upcoming by-election on Tuesday, June 27.
The New Publisher has studied the aforementioned leaked recording, which features the voice of a man identified as Yahuza Fusseini who identified himself as Commander of the Eagle Forces, a pro-NDC task force based in Obuasi that is frequently seen acting in a vigilante manner.
According to the aforementioned audio, the NDC leadership in Accra has instructed the aforementioned Yahuza Fusseini to gather the Eagle Forces and command them to invade the Assin North Constituency today, Monday, June 25, in preparation for tomorrow’s by-election.
The following are transcripts of the audio that was leaked: “Per the arrangement, we from Obuasi West have been given one side of the Constituency and there is no other group with us there. The Kumasi group and Obuasi East groups have been given another side of the constituency and they would be there alone. No one crosses into another group’s lane.
“So let’s meet on Friday so we plan and share ideas. We have been given 19 polling stations and we need to know how to share our people there. No matter what work you are doing, seek permission from your boss and let’s go to do this.
“We have been asked to go and sleep in the town a day before the elections. It is a difficult task because we do not know the town. But when you look at it well, that is the best way. If you do not know the town, how do you enter it? That is why we are being asked to enter the town a day ahead of the elections. So the town’s people would get to know us.
“It is our seat. Let’s retain it. The last time we were leading them by over 3,000 votes. If the NPP gets the seat, I swear God, the type of things they want to pass in Parliament, you have no idea.
We are the original NDC who are used for by-elections. Lets us all go to this by-election and win this seat so that National would know that we the Eagle Force were part of the victory”
The audio explained further: “We have 19 polling stations given to us and these are the strong holds of the NDC. The strategy is that the NPP would ask the people to not come out to vote. Our work would be to move from house to house to tell the people to come out and vote.
“When we are going out, don’t fear anything. Nothing would happen to us. Let us meet on Friday to know who and who we are leaving town with.”
