The Deputy General Secretary in charge of operations of the National Democratic Congress, Mustapha Gbande, has threatened to counter-sue Interior Minister, Henry Quartey after the Minister had earlier threatened to sue him for some comment.
Mr. Gbande had alleged that the Interior Minister, Henry Quartey had met with the Deputy Inspector General of Police in charge of operations and others to allegedly plan on how to rig the 2024 elections.
Following this assertion by Mr. Gbande, Henry Quartey threatened to sue him for such allegations.
However, speaking to the media, Mr. Gbande said he will counter-sue Henry Quartey if he proceeds with his suit and expose “malicious” activities he claimed the Minister is involved in.
“I will not only counter-sue him for falsely accusing me of criminal activities and inciting state institutions against me personally, but I will also take the opportunity to expose malicious issues related to the Minister and his previous roles as a Regional Minister involving him and his government,” he said.
According to Mr. Gbande, Henry Quartey further also accused him of building an army to cause violence in the elections.
Gbande refuted the claims against him, asserting that he has no involvement in building any army or planning any violence.
He cautioned that the NDC will strongly resist any attempt to undermine the will of the people in the upcoming elections.
Gbande expressed surprise that a government that came to power through elections is now resorting to “nefarious, fraudulent, and crooked” means to prepare for the next election.
“How can you complain about something I said and then end that complaint by making such an empty, malicious allegation against me?” Gbande questioned.
“This is the first time an Interior Minister is fully and overtly involved in recruiting security personnel without following due process. Is that not an agenda intended to use internal security agencies to interfere in the elections?” Gbande asked.
