He said unlike the New Patriotic Party (NPP) that sees Mr Agyapong as a god, the NDC is not afraid of the lawmaker, hence they will make sure the laws of the land deal with Mr Agyapong, because issuing threats is outlawed in the country.
He stressed that it doesn’t matter how long it takes for the NDC to come into power, the lawmaker will be brought to book. “In relation to Kennedy Agyapong, with regard to threat of harm, with regard to threat of death, he must be prosecuted.
